@@bone4crusher919 I had a spare discovery and was planning on exploring the Amazon, turns out someone already did that. They faked it though

Not only that, but in terms of tank cannons, smoothbores allow for greater velocity and longer projectiles, hence why the Soviets introduced the 115mm on the T-62, and NATO (except the Brits) introduced the Rheinmetall L44 120mm/ M256 cannons. In addition, the introduction of fin stabilization on new ammunition types (APFSDS, HEATFS, etc) made rifling redundant and thus more of an inconvenience than an advantage. One nitpick though, smoothbore actually came first with muskets and older artillery, only going away in the 19th century with the development of rifling (technically developed in Germany in 1498) and the more modern cylindro-conoidal form. Only in the past century has smoothbore returned.

Smoothbores are also more accurate when it comes to modern fin stabilized projectiles like APFSDS and HEATFS. There's a reason the British are the only country to still use rifled guns, and are still planning to replace it with a smoothbore

They are also better for firing HEAT shells

The British like to use hesh rounds, which need rifled barrels

It would also be more practical than wasting a tank shell or even 50 caliber shots. 9mm Parabellum will still go right through it.

A 9mm handgun has an effective range of about 30m, maximum 50m. The man in the car would have a very high chance of escaping in that instance.

@@t1e6x12 Yet all the tanks you listed are basically redundant these days when fighting in built up areas. Unless they have infantry and air support. In WW2 a Tiger could roll into a city and the weaponry able to kill it was few and far between. Today there's shoulder/tripod mounted rocket launchers that totally obliterate tanks. The mighty, multi million dollar, high tech, 70 tonne, multi crewed tanks obliterated by 1 or 2 men using a comparatively cheap, small, mobile rocket launcher. The tank is no longer the impervious destroyer it once was.

They are a sight and sound to behold when you see them running in person. On the battlefield it was said that the enemy could feel the Earth moving upon arrival. Certainly true.

I believe they also had the stabiliser off, because the way the turret moved with the tank and bounced up and down

Nah i think it was all choreographed. All the tank needed to do was turn it's turret at the start and shoot clarkson in the woods. Plus i doubt they would've just drove in circles around that bush. Great fun though

@@HRHooChicken ^ this. Anyone who's played WarThunder or GHPC will know that with a stabiliser, thermal, and a 120mm HESH round (as well as modern fire control systems), hitting that car would nnot be difficult, especially if it's sitting still in the smoke.

Well thats because germans know they have build great tanks, are confident and therefore relaxed about the topic and can have a laugh. Americans build ... well many tanks. But not really good ones :D

13thSystem Well, fun fact: The gun on M1 Abrams is german made :P

RevanBladeZ Joint program between the British, Germans and Americans.. The armour is British and the gun is German.

Will Coleman Actually the Challenger 2 has better armour than its older Challenger 1 cousin. Its called Dorchester Chobham armour and is better than the standard Chobham. The Americans have standard Chobham but with Depleted Uranium in it which is still very good but after time if any cracks appear and no maintenance is done it can be a health hazard.

To be fair, the engineering and effort put into design a modern Tank is immense and in my opinion, more interesting since their is so much more to work on and consider. But its a matter of opinion and preference.

Sovient Assassin even mid-war tanks between WW1 and WW2 are fun to see since the concept of a tank was still in the air at the time. Take the Char 2C or the T35 for example. You can also see how the purpose of tanks have changed massively from WW1 to current time.

Alexander Luis I want to be a Challenger 2 driver, or some kind of person in the navy. Ever since I had a tank driving experience the sheer power and capability has captivated me.

+yaseen reza You mean the same Chobham armor that's been used on every NATO MBT for the last 30 years? Chobham's just a formal term for Ceramic armor which has been in use for a while now. There's a specialty version of it on the Challenger 2 called Dorchester, but it's just a slightly different composition, not THAT much more protective. Most tanks get their armor protection from add-on kits that are configured for the theater they're fighting in and what they are expected to meet for resistance. If they expect a lot of RPGs and other high-explosive penetrators, they'll strap more reactive armor to the hardpoints of the tank. If they're expecting a lot more kinetic energy penetrators, e.g. armor-piercing heavy tank rounds, they'll add additional ceramic or metal plates. It's all highly dependent on what they're expecting. The most heavily armored tank in the world currently is the Leopard 2A6, at least in theory. The tank that has had its armor battle-tested the most is the M1A2 Abrams. I'm not saying the Challenger 2 isn't an exceptional tank. it absolutely is. It just isn't as well-armored as some of the other ones out there. This is, of course, assuming stock configuration for all tanks involved. modular armor packages change the game entirely and it really becomes a case of rock paper scissors at that point.
