The 115mm smoothbore on T62 was a monster! T62 also had thicker armour than any other tank other than Chieftain. Shame about the ammo storage though. T62 was a better tank than many people realise.

Except when travelling at speed,on icy roads (no track pads).

T-62 was a bugger to drive though. Having said that, it was the only panzer I managed to bump start - off the back of a transporter with reverse selected.

Are we talking about T-62 or T-64 here?
If the former - it probably depends on the crew...
If the latter - Cletus had better hope that Ivan is having an 'off' day!I'm Chuck Norris, and I approve these detainee handling techniques...

At least it could travel at speed! when did Chieftain ever travel at speed?
efficient stabiliser? since when was firing on the move with Chieftain anything other than pot luck?
How many times did Chieftain's power pack burn without needing to be hit by the enemy?midnight likes this.The very last 1 RTR Gunnery Instructor at JLR RAC

It's neither here or there, countries that had yank and british made tanks of the post war years tended to train crews better.
The Israelis scored more kills as they worked at it.
