Hi /k/

I'm a Lieutenant on the Brazilian Army. 3.ª Army Division; 6.ª Armored Infantry Brigade.

Basically i get to scratch my balls all day everyday and eventually do some training on one of the Leopards 1A5

Am I welcomed in this board?

Also how comfortable are the seats?

Do you think your armored units would be better off if the Osorio had gone into service?

>leopard 1a5

Also, what position are you? Commander, gunner, driver?

(dunno if the 1A5 has an autoloader or not)
>>
>>29764807
I've trained in every function position for this particular vehicle, the space inside is really short, you literally can smell the breath of everyone inside when someone talks, that's how close you get to your crew mates, it's not pleasant at all.

When it fires the main gun it almost feels like a reduced version of a concussion grenade going off nearby , it's really fucking loud.

The seats also suck, keep in mind that you either have someone's head in your balls or someone's balls on the back of your head at all times.

Hot

>>29764808
Depends what you consider hot.

>>29764846
Yes

.>>29764859
Very hard to know but probably not, German engineering is pretty amazing.

>>29764909
Post pictures of army women and qt japanese chicks

>>29764779

Have you trained with other tanks/vehicles? If so, how do they compare the the Leopard 1A5?
>>
>>29764862
It does have an auto loader.

It's a 4 crew vehicle, Driver, Main Gunner, Second Gunner and Commander.

Currently I'm stationed as the Driver position.
>>
>>29764930

I have also trained on the M-60A3, it loses in every aspect compared to the L-1A5
>>
>>29765006
What were you main issues with the M60A3?
>>
What needs to be fixed when it comes to armor in the BR Army? Seems like we have done relatively well, but can be improved.

Also, how is the general situation with the army? I've been thinking of becoming a paratrooper officer in the near future so I'd like to know.
>>
>>29764779
How are things in general going in Brazil?
>>
>>29764779
Please share some cross country going story. I heard the Leopard's mobility is amazing.

>supposedly autoloaded
>two gunners that supposedly don't load

Lower Speed, Slower turning speed, slower turret spinning speed, it's center of gravity is too high and it's body is too high from the ground so it's possible to get it stuck on some hills, it's rare but happens

>>29765332
Our Army would be a very good army if it were 1980, only it's not and most things have rusted by now.

The general thinking of the military in BR is; when we get new equipment they don't let us use it since it's so expensive and we never have funds to replace anything so the new stuff just sits there until it rusts, than when it's rusted and cheap trash we can train with it.

Most of our older tanks can't even turn on the engines.
>>
>>29765591
The Leopard can climb hills and do circle maneuvers better than most tanks I believe, since it's engine is so powerful and it's lighter than current main battle tanks
>>
>>29764779

Does these Leopard 1A5 come from Belgium ?
>>
>>29767087
>slower turret spinning speed

The strange thing is that my technical manuals indicate that their respective turret traverse speed are 15 or 16 sec (360° rotation) for both tanks.
>>
>>29764975
Wait, you're an officer that is a driver?
>>
>>29768142
>Wait, you're an officer that is a driver?
Yeah, this is fucking weird.
>>
>>29764779
I'm 22 years old, with no military experience. If I joined the army, there is real chance to follow career or I'm already too old? In the army, how do I do to enter the armored units and became tank crewman?

Also, what you think of the brazilian army training with tanks and tank warfare?
