RE: D'85: BRM lacking Amphibious capability? - Aaron - 08-12-2009 But Leopard-I (105-mm gun) is weaker than T-64, T-72, T-80 (125-mm gun).Leopard-I worse armoured, and also has more out-of-date systems fire control. Depends what variant of Leopard your talking about and what year, by 1989 i would say the Leo1A5, which armor wise had a better turret than everything up to a BV equip tank but the chassis was shite. Could barely stop a RPG. As for FCS well nothing the Soviets had could match the Leo1a5 till the T-80U. U can put a 188mm gun on a tank but if u cant hit anything who cares. Thats just one mans opinion im sure theres many more. Aaron RE: D'85: BRM lacking Amphibious capability? - Epoletov [SPR]. - 08-12-2009 In 1985 (Danube Front ' 85) was Leopard-1A4 and it was worse on many parameters, than T-64, T-72, T-80.

The German reconnaisance battalion was quite tank heavy w. 34 Leopard Is (M48s earlier) to 10 Luchs (Spz Kurz earlier). So the reason they have a higher assault value might simply be because they have more tanks. RE: D'85: BRM lacking Amphibious capability? - Aaron - 08-13-2009 Heres the info from the Nato oob. Panzer Auflklarungs Battalions (divisional recon) were organized as follows: 1st Co: Support, with signals, etc 2nd Co: 13 Leopard 1, 9 Fuch w/ground surveillance radar 3rd Co: 13 Leopard 1 4th Co: 8 Leopard 1, 8 Spahpanzer Luchs 5th Co: 9 Fuchs w/recon teams Ausbildung (training company): 3 training platoons, 1 driving school section In addition, the brigade Luchs platoons (8 each) are attached to the battalion in peacetime Aaron |
