[TheTanker070]

crappy old shit......

[SpanischStahl]

@TheTanker070

first Olifants not working against the *Cubans in Angola ,

Cubans said that it was very large and noisy , even the infantry could destroy the Olifant , this new remake of the Centurion still are one piece of shit.

*Cuban Troops = Real Army , South African army only works against enemies poorly trained and equipped.

[TheSwazman]

is it broken LOL i am embarrassed to be south african right now

[Lukos0036]

This tank needs serious maintenance. Engine is smoking like a chimney, and the main gun elevator gave out at 1:15. Are these tanks for show, or do they actually fight with them? Maintain your shit or you get people killed.

[llewellleo]

Not a modified centurion, a more advanced version. This is basically a new tank.

[TheWhippey]

It sounds like its going to fall a part hahah

[kronic254]

isnt it about time they retire these things!

[VonTelfus]

modified centurion tank?

[icaruss88]

@VonTelfus

just like Merkava Mk1 are only one new tank with Old Centurion Parts XD

even today you can see links and road wheels from Centurion design in many "Modern" MBTs

[Jigsaw1988]

1:15 ....you gotta be kidding me...

[bananaman1394]

@Jigsaw1988 thats why they we trying to hide it by turning tower to side, but i agree :D

@14th20thKRHkickass k

[brenton502]

@DJonX7 I'm a South African tanker and you really have to be running on empty if you think our engineers would have kept the platform, per se. Possibly you should have a look at the TTD and 1B or Mk 2. We really aren't that backward.

[DJonX7]

@brenton502 tell that to the other guy. he's on crack. lol

[DJonX7]

@14th20thKRHkickass hope you're trolling or else you're retarded

[Lordangers]

Lol, as a way to show the olifant's strangth, they put lines of bricks in it's path? Seriously SA, Zimbabwe has more modern tanks, when are you gonna replace this thing?

[GraffitiBombing247]

@Lordangers haha nice sarcasm there my china

PS: those ''lines of bricks'' which they aren't, are used in most cases to show that the gun is gyro-stabilised and doesnt move with the chassis when hitting the bumps, and it's used worldwide especially in test facilities.

So unless some other nation just bought leopards, challengers etc... this is the best tank on the continent (Egypts abrams dont count because abrams is an 80's design & this version of Olifant is more advanced)

[Lordangers]

@GraffitiBombing247 The gun stabiliser The Egyptians are upgrading to M2A2 standards, standards that blew away the Iraqi army. SA couldn't do that against a weaker Angola. The tech in the Olifant is just too far out of date. Okay now up to A3 standard are the Olifants but so what? Hasn't proved itself. 1:15 showed the max it's gun stabiliser works. Rows of bricks are one thing, rolling hills are another. Which is likely to traverse in a war zone?

[GraffitiBombing247]

@Lordangers ok fair enough, one thing I will always remind people (especailly her on youtube) is that the only reason why american equipment is used in such numbers worldwide is because the americans can afford to bribe politicians and officials more than most nations, and it only takes 1,2 or 3 nations to buy something (such as an M1) before many others follow thinking its the best thing since spongebob squarepants

PS: iraqi army was weak due to sanctions - thats how usa wins wars - weak I say

[Lordangers]

@GraffitiBombing247 Yep true, Iraq was weak but it's size brought it down to the standards of Angola. In America you can bribe politicians but the generals don't accept shit without making a huff and puff about it.

[Lordangers]

@GraffitiBombing247 The initial Abrams design, with billions behind it, made in the 80's. The initial Oliphant, early 40's with possibility of millions behind the upgraded version.

[whalebone1000]

Fine job South Africa

[UGIZ]

hahahahhahahahahaahahahahah weak

[copehaha]

@UGIZ why exactly is this weak?

[GraffitiBombing247]

@copehaha he's just a hater, ticked off that his country cant develop their own arms and most likely just purchase everything for their defence.

[222DJ222]

how did you get the commentry out but still keep the sound of the tank?
