looks like a turtle,with GUNS
funny how there is only mesh on the back of the turret,it's not like it would blow up the whole tank if it get hit.
Seriously, i don't understand why they don't upgrade CHr2 with cased ammo and "blow-out panels" like the Leopard and M1 have. (the panels that would blow out forcing the blast upwards instead of towards the crew compartment). Even if the ammo is seperated but putting it with the crew exposed is dangerous.
Modern Western MBTs without blowout panels is so 1980-ish.
yea,and today 1980-ish is a tank you dont want to be in,with all the advanced at threats of modern warfare it'll be just a big metal coffin.
lol I was joking when I said it's "1980 ish". Sure, having no blowout panels is a drawback but it's still one of the TOP 5 best protected MBTs today. And there already are solutions available to increase protection against mentioned threats.
Best solution would be APS (Activ protection System) working both in Soft and Hard Kill way, which will be very effective to defeat HEATs, APFSDS, ATGMs and even top attacks from high trajectory like Javelin or EFP warheads from artillery ammunition like "BONUS".
This actually looks a lot better then the original! (same with Leo 2a5 vs earlier brick versions)
