        Oh so how many startups do you see today making coupes in that cost bracket and being profitable? BMW lives off its brand, and only like the top 10% of its offerings begin to be worth the cost while the rest is just bullshit for anything except getting the attention of easy women.

      Its obvious, the K2 Black Panther is by far the strongest brand in the aerospace defense sector for land based equipment, they are latching on trying to subconsciously leech off the hyper-premium brand of the Black Panther brand

      It's mediocre tank specialized on a very narrow terrain type that is only found in couple of places on earth from the last generation.

        Yes, it was exceptional. People meme it to hell because of early issues, but it ended up being cheaper than a PzIV while being superior to just about any other tank of the war (Centurions arriving on the last day need not apply).

            The Panther had the best suspension of all WWII tanks. No tank moved smoothly as a Panther. Excellent ground pressure.
            And in 44/45 the suspension has less breakdowns than the Panzer IV one.

            All the bad mouthing about german tanks was soviet propaganda. Because the worst suspension had the IS-2 (and 3). Even more breakdowns than the King Tiger.

            They did for the Jadgpanther that even more overloaded, not sure if the fix was ever produced enough to be applied to Panthers but in the Jagdpanther it did amazingly once the fix was out.
            But I'm referring to the final drive since that was the real issue as I'm sure an esteemed expert like you knows.

            the panther had 16 torsion bar dampended wheels sharing that load. 50% more load is nothing, such systems get calculated with double safety margins
            Simply make the bar 30% thicker will solve that issue.

              Anon was just a brainlet and confused the suspension with a final drive, which also got better later and completely fixed in limited production. At that point the bombing campaigns caused greater issues than any design problems though.

      Maybe If you only looked at the hard factors on a stat card in a vacuum removed from the war. In reality, the tank was a logistical nightmare with frequent breakdowns and few spare parts and time consuming maintenance (interlocking roadwheels are a b***h to clean). This is before the high per-unit cost that the germans could not afford in their situation and that the steel was very often poor quality and brittle, leading to fractures and spalling when hit. This also ignores that the Panther is only classified as amedium so it wouldn't upset the tiger as the biggest cat.

      M4 was unironically a better tank as it far better suited the war that the US had to fight

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Outside of the earliest production it wasn't less reliable than a panzerIV, ended up being cheaper and simpler to build with the improved turret and as cheap as the Panzer IV without it, maintenance was much simplified in a lot of ways compared to earlier tanks overall with extremely quick engine changes possible, spare part production has no connection to a tank design and was improved when speer rationalized production.
        Literally everything you wrote in your post us dumb, moronic and wrong. Literally everything, without exception, is fuddlore picked up from semi-informed morons.

          Nothing SK does is "the best". What they DO is make a top 10% performance weapon, with domestic tech trade and production in a cheap enough platform anyone can be interested.
          Pzh2000 is still a better artillery piece than the K9. It's just vastly more expensive and realistically not good enough unit for unit to consider over the K9, which comes with its own support vehicle at a lower price tag AND Worst Korea will happily set up a factory/maintenance plant in your country if you pay for it.
          I don't doubt the KF-51 is markedly better than the K2 as well but GL getting Rheinmetall to hand over every little bit of tech and allowing you to maintain it without having to deepthroat their German operations.
          It's why Germany struggles to get UK contracts unless it's a direct agreement from the start like the Boxer or Eurofighter where there's significant work from both sides.
          Having domestic production of parts > better equipment that you have to rely on foreign nations to supply and MAY even block said parts if you happen to involve yourself in a war they don't like.

            >It's why Germany struggles to get UK contracts
            Until very recently the UK refused to buy foreign shit to keep its own capacities alive, now they just buy German.

              Pzh2000 is some $20 million a unit.
              Norway bought 24 K9s and 8 support vehicles for $230 million, putting them at sub $10 million a piece, possibly even less.
              K9s are literally half the price of Pzh2000. Ofc thats not the newest K9 so until Bongland releases their prices for the K9A2, we can't REALLY compare them but it's fairly apparent the K9 is half the price AND comes with support hardware for the price of the Pzh2000 hence it's being adopted across the world at insane rates.

                The K9A2 will be similar price to Pzh2000

                But the reality is that Germans and South Koreans are autistic and this competition of already most advanced stuff keeps results in better equipment in the works

                Its like two powerlifters that can deadlift 400kg and then one gets to 401kg and calls the other guy a pussy thereby motivating the other guy to pull 402kg and then call the 401kg guy a pussy, back and forth ad naseum, but end result is both will eventually get to 500kg+ trying to outdo each other

                That is not even an autoloader, at best it's a semi-autoloader with assistance.

    Objectively both SK and Germany make really good stuff and are both at the top of land warfare tech; US is way ahead in the air and sea though

    This is probably the most accurate assessment of land weapons:

    MBTs: 1) K2, 2) Leopard 2A7, 3) M1A2sep3

    IFVs: 1) Redback, 2) Lynx, 3) M3

    Sp Artillery: 1) Pzh 2000, 2) K9, 3) M109a6

    Standard issue assault rifle: 1) Daewoo K2, 2) M4 carbine, 3) HK 416

    >Why Panther and not Leopard 3?
    I try to give the first serious answer. I suppose it's because Leopard 1 and 2 were built to order for the German army while Rheinmetall developed KF51 on their own and hope the German army may buy them one day or they can export the Panther.

    It's a turret you can slap on a Leopard or a Lynx, not a new tank

      Basing your chassis on a successful earlier design doesn't mean it's not a new tank unless there've only been like 3 new pistols in the last 100 years and the AK is actually an American/German design.
