Questions for Volcano Man (DF85_alt)

[Volcano Man]

Yes, this is correct. The M48 was heavily armored for its day and is probably one of the only reasons that the tank was still in service by this time, however it was extremely slow (and it is worth mentioning that the M60 too was well armored but very slow). You should notice that the Leopard 1 is about 4 hexes faster than the M48, so everything is not simply about defense and attack factors.

What I did forget to do though is give the unreliable flag to the M48. By this time they had indeed been upgraded but were very old and this is a problem since they had an underpowered engine to begin with. This unreliability and much slower speed is the difference between it and the Leopard 1.
