Was surprised to say the least when i got the results for the M1A2
but the write-up on the tanks said it all.
M1a2= designed for frontal high speed attack (for a tank) little thought given to side attacks, with the range and accuracy of the gun was not deemed necessary.
Challanger 2 = designed for open country warfare, with alot of emphasis placed on crew survival from any direction
Leclerc = designed for low profile high speed warfare (armor sacrificed for speed) and sitting so low it would be hard to target
Leopard 2a6= more or less and uparmored 2a4 but with a better gun installed
the turret redesign is the only real armor upgrade it has (the angling of the turret front added most of the RHae for the turret)
