Talk:T-72

|
The author of this page seems to be consistently 5 to 10 years behind the curve in his understanding of Russian and Ukranian tank technology, and several statements are glaringly incorrect. I have made a number of corrections. I welcome discussion of them.
- And he seems to think T-62's have an autoloader...Perhaps he's from a different time line? :o) But we should not forget that wikipedia is basically an amateur project. Making mistakes is part of the normal process of article building. They have the essential function of annoying (or amusing) experts so much they put in the correct information. ;o) It may be of comfort to you that the articles about the Western tanks are far worse!

I've changed the description of the T-72 as a "medium tank" to a "main battle tank", as that fits the tank better. "Medium tank" is more of a historical term than something that is used for modern tanks, as the distinction between heavy and medium tanks has all but disappeared.

Ergh, this article is a mess. Full of duplications and contradictions. Anyone care to sort it out? I hesitate, due to a lack of in-depth knowledge of the upgrades performed on exported Russian tanks... Dan100 19:37, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
- A lot of this material could go into a separate article on Soviet tank design. But I agree, there's some rewriting to be done. —Michael Z. 20:56, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)
