  • @localgopnik85

    0:53 For anyone wondering, rifled cannons wear out more, so they have to be replaced more frequently, that is why smoothbore was invented in the first place
    P.S: I think the new challenger uses a smoothbore cannon

    • @MR_6238
      @MR_6238 2 года назад +56

      Not only that, but in terms of tank cannons, smoothbores allow for greater velocity and longer projectiles, hence why the Soviets introduced the 115mm on the T-62, and NATO (except the Brits) introduced the Rheinmetall L44 120mm/ M256 cannons. In addition, the introduction of fin stabilization on new ammunition types (APFSDS, HEATFS, etc) made rifling redundant and thus more of an inconvenience than an advantage.
      One nitpick though, smoothbore actually came first with muskets and older artillery, only going away in the 19th century with the development of rifling (technically developed in Germany in 1498) and the more modern cylindro-conoidal form. Only in the past century has smoothbore returned.

    • @filmandfirearms
      @filmandfirearms 2 года назад +23

      Smoothbores are also more accurate when it comes to modern fin stabilized projectiles like APFSDS and HEATFS. There's a reason the British are the only country to still use rifled guns, and are still planning to replace it with a smoothbore

    for those wondering, almost every modern tank uses smooth bore barrels and the British challenger is one of the few remaining tanks with a rifled gun. this is mainly due to the ammunition used, the British use HESH rounds which are basically high explosives and can only be fire through rifled barrels. The advantage of smooth bore is the ability to fire high penetration rounds that stabilize themselves with Finns anyways, smooth bores are also more cost effective because there is less maintenance on the barrel required

      +yaseen reza You mean the same Chobham armor that's been used on every NATO MBT for the last 30 years? Chobham's just a formal term for Ceramic armor which has been in use for a while now. There's a specialty version of it on the Challenger 2 called Dorchester, but it's just a slightly different composition, not THAT much more protective. Most tanks get their armor protection from add-on kits that are configured for the theater they're fighting in and what they are expected to meet for resistance. If they expect a lot of RPGs and other high-explosive penetrators, they'll strap more reactive armor to the hardpoints of the tank. If they're expecting a lot more kinetic energy penetrators, e.g. armor-piercing heavy tank rounds, they'll add additional ceramic or metal plates. It's all highly dependent on what they're expecting.
      The most heavily armored tank in the world currently is the Leopard 2A6, at least in theory. The tank that has had its armor battle-tested the most is the M1A2 Abrams. I'm not saying the Challenger 2 isn't an exceptional tank. it absolutely is. It just isn't as well-armored as some of the other ones out there. This is, of course, assuming stock configuration for all tanks involved. modular armor packages change the game entirely and it really becomes a case of rock paper scissors at that point.

    Im guessing that if I scroll down, there will be a lot of American and British people arguing who has the best armed forces.
    (Even though we are both very close allies in everything from entertainment to war)
    So I wont bother.

      It's okay. Us New Zealanders take the mantle for number one special ops. So both British and America equally suck.

    Smoothbore doesn't mean less accuracy nowadays. Sabot rounds are basically lasers, so rifling just slows them down. Rifling also means you can't shoot rockets out of your cannon.

    Lets be honest though they are pretty much equals on the battlefield. Just look at the stats of each. They both have relatively the same range, same speed, same armor, even the same type of gun. Three tanks are at the top of the board and you can arrange them anyway you want. Leopard 2, Challenger 2, M1A2 Abrams. It does not matter which one you choose because for these three it comes down to the training rather than the machine.
