does /k/ like the k2?
It took them forever to unfuck the engine and suspension.
There's a bunch of features I like though.
>KSTAM wrecking your shit from five miles away
>main gun can elevate enough to shoot at helicopters
>>30998994
It is a substantial upgrade from the K1, K1A1 and M48's that worst Korea uses now.
>>30999030
>main gun can elevate enough to shoot at helicopters
every tank can do that
>>30998994
imo, not enough sloped armor

>I don't know what tank armor looks like under the faceplate
>>30998994
Most underrated MBT in the world at the moment, in my opinion.
10/10 Nork remover. Though I'm pretty sure even K1 would've eaten Pokpung Hos for breakfast, K2 probly views them more like snacks.
Most likely the best MBT ever produced by an asian country. Also, sexy
>Top of the line APS
>Top grade FCS, optics and radar
>German smoothbore firing anything from thungsten APFSDS to non-line of sight smart bombs
>French autoloader firing 15 rounds per minute
>Max effective range of fire 8-10km
>12-cylinder diesel supplemented with gas turbine APU
>hydropneumatic suspension
>roughly 55 tonns overall
Easily the most advanced non-Russian MBT.

South Korea has yet to equip its K2's with KAPS.
It also has no side armor, that is how its weight is that low.
>>30998994
overkill for the shitty cold war era tanks the norks are using/developing
>>31001356
>It also has no side armor, that is how its weight is that low.
The weight reduction comes from the autoloader not reducing armor protection.
>>31001640
Autoloaders do not make tanks 10 tons lighter.
>>31002801
They do if they replace the average 'murican crewman.

>>31001238
>Max effective range of fire 8-10km
Jesus. Wouldn't it be extremely hard to hit a moving target from that range?
>>31002832
By that logic the K2 only needs to be 5 feet tall.
>>31002832
heh
Meh.
It's a damn good tank if you don't give a shit about cost.
>>31001717
>fast forward
why do they do this? and abrams is faster
>>30998994
what are these things?
>>31003004
Kek
>>31004062
Active kill system sensors AFAIK
>>31003004
Imagine how small the Norks could make their tanks.

fyi, South Korea as a country has a policy that its military can not buy and use foreign made eqiupment. It has to be licence built IN SK.
