    Former Tim Hortons manager here, the only real game changer is a cup of perfectly roasted premium coffee.
  • @neiljohnson6815
    Former US Army armor officer here. No tank is a "game changer" if it's not used correctly. Infantry support, artillery support, air superiority.These are what makes a tank a game changer.
  • @guss77
    Former armor corps soldier here - the mishmash of gun calibers, track types and support vehicles is a nightmare. I'm fairly certain that all these vehicle abandonments could have been reversed with good combat support infrastructure - a tank brigade is useless for more than one sortie if you don't have the equipment, man power and training to recover a tank that ran into problems.
  • @FS-vz9hw
    Danish artillery officer here. There's no such thing as a game changer in war. Tanks are important, so is infantry, artillery, pioneers, logistics etc. What wins wars both today and historically, is the ability to put these different pieces together and combine their advantages in order to minimise their respective set backs.
  • "Recoverable" implies that it can also be recovered by the opposing side.
  • @MrZlocktar
    People will never realize that crew that manages to get out of tank, are getting killed by follow up drones to finish them. It will be to late before you realize the reality of modern warfare.
  • Ah yes, the Leonard 2 tank, backed up by the Sheldon IFV, the Wolowitzer-2000 and defended by the Koothrapali air defence system.......
  • @lindybeige
    The 'Leonard'? I think you'll find that it's proper military designation is the 'Nimoy'.
  • @kingfish2703
    1:05 the leopard 1 didnt end service in 1965, it STARTED its service with the bundeswehr in 1965! (it ended in 2003!)
  • @InkandFish555
    Supermarket shelf stacker here. There is no game changer. Even the most high tech grocery restocker is easily disabled by a cheap FPV drone.
  • Leonard and Leopard, sometimes both used in the very same sentence. Now you’re just taunting us.
  • @kamui004
    12:50 We all know the truth. Putin sneezed in his office and that Challenger 2 tank went up in flames, not even Chuck Norris is capable of such a feat!
  • @tims1407
    Another great example that the most important feature for a tank is its air support
  • @Robert_Douglass
    The Leonard tank is purportedly a superior product to the Taylor tank fielded by Nancy Germany during World War 2.
  • "Then there's the Leonardo 2, the Italian version of its German counterpart, which has seen action in art museums since the 16th century".
  • @Baronstone
    They are doing just fine, but some people finally figured out that no tank is immune to anti-tank mines. Well, at least no tanks are immune to them for now
  • If you add turtle armour to a Leanard, does it become the Leonardo variant? Just add twin katana weapon systems to the rear decks.
