Why can't NATO have a well armored MBT?

Yes, but as i remember with lower pen (?)

It had higher pen than now.

I won’t argue, as I might not remember such details.
However, from the side of the tank, which was mainly the MBT and the US at that time, the fight against the T-64A was balanced – you had the usual weak spots, but the MBT was also easy to kill if you aimed.
From the T-64A’s side, it was actually similar – the main advantage of the MBT/KPz was mobility – it fired a shot and disappeared.

Should see the stack of bug reports accepted for the Challenger 2’s that have been left to rot for +2yrs as well. Sorry if it’s not Russian we’re not fixing it

They still havent given the T-54 its correct turret traverse, and the T-44 had no roof armour for a while.
