As a canadian I am curious; why do you 'absolutely love this tank'?

[TankNutDave]

@Ralroost im 3/4's canadian myself, I didnt think a great deal about the Leo1, but I do like the shape of the C2 and when they were sent to Afgan they took the war to the Taliban. On the first day they arrived Taliban attacked them and C2's succesfully returned fire with HESH with no loss of Canadian life or tanks.

@TankNutDave Cool cool... i recall when they arrived in afghanistan they had a modular armour IED kit installed, I thought that was pretty cool. Also (just so you know) its the first engagement of Canadian armour in a warzone since WWII. :) Are your ancestors Canadian Forces personnel, i mean from the second ww?

[TankNutDave]

@Ralroost No, my grandfather was in the British RAF :P

This is a nice tank, but I'm still glad to see that the leopard 2 is replacing it.
