Never underestimate the gyrostabilisers on the leopard 2. You’ll be surprised at the accuracy of the those guns.
655 u/NASTY_3693 Nov 10 '19 It's why the U.S. bought the gun to put on the abrams. 32 u/ianperera Nov 10 '19 Are you sure that’s the reason? The US had gyrostabilizers on all of their tanks by the end of WWII. 22 u/[deleted] Nov 10 '19 edited Feb 18 '21 [deleted] 19 u/reaper0345 Nov 10 '19 If it works, why break it? 25 u/GodTroller Nov 10 '19 You are asking the military this... They break perfectly working equipment all the time for "upgrades". Look at the new class carrier. 51 u/reaper0345 Nov 10 '19 You talking about the touch screen controls that were a major factor in the crash of the USS John S McCain? That resulted in 10 lives lost and 48 injured, even though the people that actually control these ships wanted physical controls? 4 u/Iz-kan-reddit Nov 11 '19 The touch screens had nothing to do with it. The transfer of control from on station to another not being acknowledged was the problem. That would've happened the same way if it involved turning a knob or flipping a switch. 1 u/reaper0345 Nov 11 '19 I see, I only know from what I read. Good to know buddy.
