Leopard 1
In Team Yankee
IRL
The Leopard 1 was a second generation MBT for the west Germans. It was meant to hold the line until the MBT-70 program bore fruit. That never happened so the west was at a severe disadvantage in MBTs. The Leopard 1 would serve well into the 21st century with the Canadian military but over all the tank is not that innovative or ground breaking. Mobility had priority, while firepower came second; armor was seen as less essential after all no one believed that protection against shaped charges and hollow warheads was possible.
