@NANOMAN Apologies.

Still, I think that such would probably happen again because the trend of joint tank projects between Western countries tend to result in two very similar machines that basically do the same thing. Kind of like AMX-30 and Leopard 1.

@Pilotmario Firstly, I have been studying the history of armor-tank technology for 3 years already, and I know all that well. Secondly, the M1 was originally designed for a 105-mm tank gun due to the huge number of 105-mm ammunition in the warehouses

@NANOMAN NP

@NANOMAN That is true.

However, the whole reason why M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 are so similar was because both were born out of a joint US-German program to make a fast, 60-ton main battle tank with a 120mm smoothbore gun. They started it in the aftermath of MBT-70, and like the MBT-70, proceeded to disagree with everything about how exactly to make a fast, 60-ton main battle tank with a 120mm smoothbore gun.

It's not inconceivable that this would be the case.

@Pilotmario it's just an alternative story. The combined states realized that servicing two tanks (M1 and Leopard 2) that are almost identical in characteristics is too expensive

Lovely story! However, I do feel that if the story is to be more authentic, then the story should have the US get mad that their own design wasn't chosen and decided to adopt their design over the German for political reasons. Officially, it wasn't adopted due to the differing requirements the US had over the German.

US-German tank collaboration usually goes about as well as a train wreck. It would also give you a canonical reason to build a similar design. @NANOMAN

Np! @NANOMAN
