Im Buying a TANK..?!

Recently ‪@Drivetanks‬ listed a tank for sale and we took a trip out to do some shopping! I looked at 4 Tanks. 1st, the FV101 Scorpion, this is a road-legal tank with rubber treads, it can go up to 55MPH... a serious contender as sit can fit in my garage! 😬
2nd we looked at the Leopard 1 A4, a museum condition tank a little outside my budget at over 1 million dollars! 3rd, is the T-34-85 a Russian tank that most of us know from video games!
and finally the Leopard 1 A5, similar to the A4 but at only $400,000 it's...relatively more affordable...LOL.

[@1337flite]

The Scorpion is an excellent daily driver. Getting parts for the Jag motor is probably less expensive than the other optins and relatively easy. In the turret there is a glow in the dark quandrant - that contains tritium if you break it the tank is considered unservicable. I'd suggest you remove that so you don't have to worry about breaking it and leaking a significant amount of radioactive gas - unless you have a supplhy of 76mm ammo AND intend to shoot at night.

Daimler Benz did not build a single engine for a Leopard 1A4 or Leopard 1A5; MTU built them. - MTU MB 838 CaM-500 PowerPack And it's certainly not a Mercedes otherwise either; the Leopard 1, like the Leopard 2, is a Bavarian quality product from Munich. The general contractor for series production was Kraus-Maffei AG, now Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG, a company of KMW+Nexter Defense Systems N.V. (KNDS). And he forgot the main selling point, German tanks are fuel savers, they don't guzzle fuel like American tanks do. Total cost of ownership matters. Leopard 1 985 liters for 562 km road, 386 km light terrain, 246 km heavy terrain M60 1457 liters for only 500 km road M60A1 M60A3 1420 liters for only 480 km road Leopard 2 vs Abrams even worse. With the fuel you need for one M1 Abrams you can refuel two Leopard 2 and they will go 70 km more on the road and 30 km more off-road. Guess which MBT you would rather use as a logistician or tactical leader? The version with which you can carry twice the firepower further and you can use the transport capacity you save on fuel to bring additional ammunition and rations to the front or the other one. Probably better to have two original guns than just one license replica that comes along on just such license tracks.

Few years later: I'm buying an Aircraft Carrier

[@Jeremiah90526]

FV101 is just over 9 tons fully loaded, with the crew inside, not 18 tons. They are aluminum hulled and were specifically made to be able to ship multiple in a C-130. I think he got confused that it is just shy of 18,000 pounds (17,800) and no one thinks that a tank could be that light, so they correct it in their own heads. Technically, it is not a tank, but instead a Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle. How that is different from a light tank is essentially no coaxial machine gun, and that it is not technically supposed to ever fight other tanks. Should also be noted that a fat chunk of the countries that purchased and used either the FV 101 or 107 used it as, and referred to it in classification as, a light tank. Technically you should be able to get the FV721 Fox for cheaper, but it is definitively an armored car rather than tank because it is a wheeled vehicle, but can go faster that the CVR(T)s ever could (by about 10 mph) due to having the same engine but weighing just shy of a ton less (again, with a vehicle that is 8 tons, a single ton less is a lot) has all the signal lights to make it street legal, though it does only have the 30mm RARDEN instead of the 76mm L23A1. It was the gun that actually lasted though, so good to go on that count.
