How is the performance of Leopard 2 tank?

Judging from various indicators, the Leopard tank is really a good tank. However, from the military demand, one by one, Leopard 120 smoothbore gun is the mainstream configuration in the West. Equipped with a new type of armor-piercing projectile, it is superior in power. There's nothing to say about this. Fire control system and electronic system are not as prominent as m 1, but they are not behind the mainstream. The problem is mobility and protection. The original Leopard 2 did have a 65,438+0,500 horsepower engine with a total combat weight of 55 tons. It may be able to run above 70 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration is good. However, the armor has been continuously overweight. Now the latest Leopard 2 weighs more than 60 tons. I don't know, about 62 tons or more. Its unit horsepower must have dropped a lot, regardless of the maximum highway speed and acceleration. Although this kind of maneuver has little advantage over Soviet tanks, coupled with the development of modern fire control technology, it is important to further reduce the maneuverability. In terms of protection, everyone is really overreaching. The Germans didn't get British Chobham armor (the best composite armor) and depleted uranium armor at all. Look at the turret armor of Leopard 2a4, there is no inclination. How to understand the super protection of Leopard tanks? Later, extra armor was added, but I don't think there is blasting armor on the front, and the leopard tank protection is not bad, but it will definitely not be the super protection mentioned on the Internet. As for the anti-mine ability promoted by Germany, as long as you have seen anti-tank mines, you know that no tank in the world can resist it. The so-called anti-mine capability of Leopard tanks is to prevent anti-infantry mines. Besides, car weight is a big problem. The vehicle weight of 60+ tons determines that it is only suitable for several terrains, such as hard soil plains and desert areas in northern Europe. However, permafrost plains like Russia and paddy fields in the south of China are not feasible in this terrain. The tanks in China and the Soviet Union weigh only about 50 tons, while most of the existing tanks in Russia are 40+ tons. It is not that these two countries don't want to improve their protection, but that they are too heavy to use at all. You can't use things if you build them. what do you think? The thickness of the main armor of a small tank is not necessarily much worse than that of this super heavy tank. Modern tanks cannot guarantee to resist the frontal close attack of tanks of the same level. Even if the main armor belt can't be decomposed, the charging of modern tank artillery will make the tank crew lose their combat effectiveness, so the protection is hard to say. In addition, cost and manufacturing difficulty are also big problems. Germans still don't have brains after World War II, and the pursuit of performance has reached the point of being possessed, forgetting how World War II was done. If the Germans fail, they fail. In this rigor, making a weapon is like a work of art, which is expensive and difficult to make. Compared with Soviet tanks and Tiger t34, it is not a big failure. Maybe you can win one-on-one, but what about 1 2? The chance of winning is zero. Now there are so many leopard exports that they have become European tanks. But think about it, the total output is only 3000+ vehicles. What about the output of t72 tanks? Even if t72 is poor, it is a third-generation tank, and the 125mm main gun and Russian self-use armor-piercing bullets should not be underestimated. T90 is an improved version of t72 * *, so Leopard 2 has good performance, but it is definitely not dominant and has defects, but the surface data is beautiful. As for the feasibility, the landlord can decide for himself. Typing is very tiring, pure handwriting, and it only represents individuals.
