  1.  @ConstantineJoseph  At very high speeds, the self-sharpening effect of DU does not hold an advantage to Tungsten, which then (at 1750 m/s) gains an advantage in penetration power compared to Uranium at the same speed. Plus, any metal undergoing such a deceleration through hard armour would be burning

  2.  @ConstantineJoseph  While certainly correct, the intense pressure and heat liquefies any metal and superheats it, still making a shitload of damage. The penetration properties of tungsten improve the higher you get your final Vmax until at one point, tungsten will have superior pen compared to Uranium.

  3. Germany never exported tanks to Armenia....

  4. It is legit. It isn't just a steel bullet like a gun bullet. A round like this is made from a combustible nitrocellulose hull with is filled with a special grained explosive that will detonate extremely fast to provide maximum pressure inside the barrel. The penetrator itself is a thin and long rod made from tungsten which itself is very expensive given that it is a rather rare element and in high regard. More useful in many applications than as a penetrator but the political situation forbids it for Germany to use depleted Uranium. If China would sell us 100$ rounds, expect them to be useless.

  5. You need to be ambitious.

  6. Shut up. We aren’t communist

  7.  @hoosierdaddy2308  If you have no clue about stuff, best stop commenting. a) she lowered taxes. Very communist practise, is it not? b) She privatised some industries. Again a hallmark for communists. She doesn't import rapists and I have never seen a Burqa in my life. Certainly not in Munich and Darmstadt. I live in Mannheim where there are even more immigrants and they are mostly a fine bunch. I have however met some Germans who shouldn't have been allowed to procreate. The Greens have not been in federal government since 2005 and their power even in the Länder is mostly in a junior role. While I am certainly no fan of them, calling them the reason Germany is supposedly ruined is wrong. Best shut up before you embarrass yourself further.

  9. 1) How many of those Russian tanks are operational and can be manned? Around a quarter. Most of those tanks are old and scrap metal compared to the fully modernised Western tanks. Modern Russian tanks are some 600 T90s and 1000 (operational) T80 and another 1200 T-72. The rest is old and not kept up. They just sit in the depot and rot. 2) None of them are up to par. Western tanks have more advanced optics, night vision, accuracy, fire control et cetera. Better penetration capabilities as well. A Leo will probably, with the aid of comprehensive preparation and aerial reconaissance be able to stop at least 5 vehicles if they fight in situations advantageous for them. 3) Western crews get more training. 4) Do not underestimate the massive aerial firepower. 400 tanks would be very conservative if the USAF moves in. The anti-tank helicopters of Europe and the US would make another slaughter fest. By the time they occupy Poland, very little of the tank force would remain. And then come the US

  10. Actually no but ok.

  11. 1) WW1 wasn't caused by Germany. We just were the losers that were blamed for the cause because it was used to make us pay. 2) Nobody denies WW2 but then again, many nations waged war before and kept an army. In the end, Russia is to thank for it. If you guys didn't built communist dictatorships in the east, the US would have never felt compelled to re-arm Germany.

  12. That would be expensive and modern war does not need a reliance of tanks in such numbers. Better would be more IFV and drones. Far more useful in urban environments than antank

  13. It has been battle tested and proven itself in countless exercises.

  14. It is a perfectly acceptable way to write it in angle-saxon countries. Easy to type and on the eye.
