Juno Beach Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2_Black_Panther Videos: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=xk2+black+panther&aq=0 The XK2 Main Battle Tank, which will be commissioned in 2011, is a next generation of main battle tank to replace the older K1 and American M47/M48 tanks. It will be fitted with German MTU 1500 hp Europowerpack for the engine, and a new 120mm cannon with autoloader. New armor and sensor system are intended to be comparable to the M1A2 and LeClerc. South Korea's next-generation tanks, code named "XK2" and nicknamed "Black Panther, were first seen during an unveiling ceremony in Changwon, southeast of Seoul, Friday, March 2, 2007. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Should be more than a match for the North's T-62 knock-offs. Interesting isn't it that the Krauts have never lost their smarts for engineering Panzers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Interesting isn't it that the Krauts have never lost their smarts for engineering Panzers. What, you mean an overly complicated design with breakdowns likely at laast every 100 km's? Regards KR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Will it matter? The NKA will be coming to them so they only have to be able to move far enough to get into tank scrapes..... Will 40 rounds per tank be enough to cover all the incoming threats?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 What, you mean an overly complicated design with breakdowns likely at laast every 100 km's? I always thought it grossly unfair British and US tanks had the "Burns Easily" trait when German tanks didn't, despite some having a reputation for catching fire without even being shot at! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smershbloke Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Videos: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=xk2+black+panther&aq=0 There are some excellent sounds of the main gun in this video. Can anyone rip these for import into CMSF! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Belenko Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 The way it can raise and lower its shocks it can go hull down anywhere. Either that or it will fit right in at a low rider rally in East LA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGkE5g7_jAg&feature=related 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be getting old as these low riders seem the most pointless waste of money i can think of in the auto world.What a waste of time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcrof Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Some build model railways, some make their cars bounce. Aren't all hobbies basically pointless? People love to fiddle with things to see what makes them tick be it cars, computers, power tools or anything else. Im not joking about power tools! Lawnmower racing Pointless yes, but harmless fun for everyone involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wondering how the Korean tank will hold up to one of the North's nukes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
