sorry, but i experienced the difference between m1a1 and leo2a4 i don't say anymore that it is the same. it has the same caliber and can fire the same ammunition, but that's it. if i have to boresight the gun every 6-8 rounds i would never say the gun is equal to the german one.
I'll take your word for it, because you have FAR more experience then I in the matter.

So what we did was take the German design and then simplified it, so it can be more reliable or something?

do you wanna make me think both mentioned tanks have the same armour? do you know that the concept behind both is completely different?
The Armour on the Leo2A6 and the M1A2 are a lot thicker and are a lot less seseptiple to penetration compared to the Type-90. That is the point I was trying to make. I was not saying they have the same concept in armour protection.

But I would like to know what are the different concepts?

"A small number in service with the Army for trial and tests. Mass production expected to begin in 2002 to 2004."
