Of course you're right boondock, it is important to be logical.
The point i was trying to make while simultaneously trying not to fall asleep (I was just finished work) was that if the Black Eagle's specs beat the m1's specs outright, in every category, then how can it possibly be an inferior tank? How can it fail to outclass the m1 on the battlefield.
And again, you're right, all we have to go on is the manufacturer's claims regarding the capabilities of the tank, but then, with the m1, when was the last time you saw a civvie or military authority go to that with a measuring tape, speedo etc? They didn't. The manufacturers of the Black Eagle cannot possibly be stupid enough to make a claim they can't back up with testing results. If they were, the Russians wouldn't have bought the damn thing!
Apologies for the fanboi attitude in my last post.
