That’s kinda crazy. It definitely has way more armor than the Leopard 1. It isn’t Leopard 2A4 levels. But damn. A Leopard 1 ain’t tanking 3BM3, 3BM4, 3BM25, 3BM9, M735, M774, DM13, etc. Big difference especially with the turret.

Changing that gun, and the great Mobility idea of the Vickers didn’t make it into the Chally 2 making for a long painful fall from grace. The Challenger 1 having the gun it did work for it. L26 was a good round for what else was out there. But later on? It didn’t work.
Yeah , it constantly get uptiered by french Jaguar’s
