Why is it a silly French thing?
Speed - About the same speed as the Leopard.
Small size - Ok it's smaller.
Lightness - Like I said less armour.
firing accuracy - most MBT's are pretty accurate
finally reliable now - Leopards been reliable for a while
rate of fire - Auto loaders need reloading.
So now we're looking at an very expensive smaller Leopard 3 built in France.
Sorry I wasn't being anti French I just think the Leopard is a far better tank. In fact if the Leopard had a kettle it would be the best tank in the world
