Leo 1 v/s T72 ?

[Jonathan Chin]

Personally I am very interested at what M-773 would do a T-72A. At the age of 105mm (for NATO) those would be the most common weapons.

M774 or M833? There is no M773.

Jonathan:

I'll assume you meant 774....

 

It is most often listed as penetrating 380mm at 2000meters. This means that the T72A would probably survive a turret hit until very close. Areas around the gun and the top of the turret are vulnerable, but represent a small target area. A shot coming from a 30 to 45 degree off angle would have a much better chance.

 

The hull is more vulnerable. The 18mm HHS add on plate would really help. Final analysis means that the 774 would kill a T72A at close range but with no guarantee. You might have to hit the tank multiple times. At longer ranges the chance goes down accordingly.
