I'm confident we can go 10+kills:1. I would prefer 10+:0
I can tell you from personal experience as a 19K in the Army, a T-80 < M1
Someone's going to say, "In such and such RPG on PS3 the T-80 rules the M1..."
I'm going to tell you that's bullshit and the guys that coded that game were probably Pakistanis who don't like the US military anyway.
Armor, gunnery, rounds per minute, and of course tank crew themselves, all advantage M1
M1s have taken hits from T-72s at POINT BLANK RANGE and still been able to fight. The commander and loader were injured but the tank was operational and the gunner and driver were uninjured.
If you hit a T-72 with a FSDS (depleted uranium sabot) from 3000+ meters, all the hatches blow open and fire shoots straight up from them about 20 meters high. All 3 crewmembers? Dead. Ability to continue to fight? Zero.
T-62s are even more impressive. They explode sending the turret and the gun in separate directions from the hull.
And that's only if there's anything left for US Armor to kill. The Apaches, Warthogs, and Marine Cobras might just kill everything before the Abrams gets to it.
Besides, this is a Camaro forum....you have to love the American vehicle with 1500 hp
