Oh yeah that second one looks promising. Because the only other modern Japanese tank is the Type 90 which has been around for more than a decade.

THis new one is an abrams in another color-_- the inside controls look exactly the same(in japanese writing)
nothing special

Holy crap, their tanks have been around for a decade?!?!?!

Honestly, that seems to be of little to no concern, especially when the Japanese army hasn't deployed a tank in a combat situation in 63 years.

leopard knockoff anyone?

Well, we can't really say much about it or if it is a cheap knock off because we could only see its appearance. It's Turret does does heavily resemble the LEO and the type 90 was heavily derived from the 2A4 and other German designs so it might be another derivation of a 2a6, but unless we could see the guts and muscle of this thing there isn't enough info to make assumptions.

The hydraulics on the thing looks nice, though it seems a little slow compared to the adjustment rates of the Korean K2 tank

I dunno about you guys, but I think it looks pretty cool.

[R-DEV]Rhino · 02-28-2008, 12:54 AM

I think it looks like quite a solid tank to me, sure the design of it has easily been inspired by the Leo2, the M1A2 and I can see tiny little bits of the CR2 on it but whats wrong about insperation?

I wonder if the CQB mod is still going, they should make this tank if they are
