  1. It's always worth remembering that neither East or West would say "your tank is clearly better than ours" as propaganda is the first weapon deployed in any conflict. I do know that when the UK was developing Chieftain and the FGR Leo 1, a lot of German high command expressed concern about the ability of Leo to absorb heavy punishment on the battlefield compared to the British tank. The top brass wanted a tank that was more like a modern Panther able to give and take punishment. The Leo was , like all tanks, a compromise and although it had a powerful, reliable pack it had serious weaknesses in other areas.
