Literally wat.

1979 is exactly a cold war relic. And unless you're about to try and tell me that the Germans are sending along modern reactive armor tech that I know they don't have, then one metal box doesn't make much difference next to another.

Germany doesn't HAVE a front line anything, much less a tank doctrine. The Bundeswehr is a jobs program for smokers. They're lucky if they show up to NATO exercises with their own MREs for God's sakes, in every instance in which I've ever seen them they performed only marginally less worse than the goddamn Afghanis, and those guys were so bad you might as well hand out rifles to a platoon of labradors. If all 14 of those P2s have working engines, I'll be surprised.
