Interesting video of a S. Korean tank - Page 2

Very nice video TF, good find that man!

Some interesting features there, namely that suspension, clever little idea that, darius makes a good point in that it would help a tank in a hull down position, although as with all good ideas, I do ponder how easy to maintain it is. After all, it's all well and good building a tank with pimped out features but if it has the reliability rate of the early Tiger II then it'll only be useful as a wall.
I like the submarine feature too, it's not the first tank to do that, IIRC I've seen at least one other tank display those characteristics, however it's the deepest I've seen one go. Sod being in that should it develop a leak...

Reliability of the tiger, if it has that then It will break just getting to the front.

I think it is a cool tank. Admittedly it is cool when the tanks hydraulic system let the tank squat down.

The Leopards can do the same.

There are a few pics of that here:http://88362.forum.onetwomax.de/topic=101570408525

Just scroll down a little.

That must have been the one I remember seeing.

Gotta love those Leopards

Aren't all modern tanks with NBC protection capable of that, I man to provide that protection they have to be air tight with exception to their air filtration system?

krashkart · 06-10-10, 01:10 PM

I would think so, antikristuseke. Can't imagine any military fielding a drafty modern tank, but I could be wrong.

I think so too, but the Leopard is the only one were I know it for sure.

IIRC the T-72, T-80 and T-90 can go underwater to a point as well.

EDIT: Well, probably the T-64 too, but I don't know for sure.

But can it come back out of the water again afterwards though?

Why would you go underwater in the first place if you wanted to come out anyway?

Special ops tank, behind enemy lines.

But in the T-64's case, only as far behind enemy lines as the tank factory technicians can walk to fix it...

The T-64 in front has the ammunition and chains, the second T-64 will follow. When the first T-64 breaks down, the second T-64 will take the ammunition and tow it.
