M-1A2 is dogmeat. Leo 2 has:
- anti-top attack missile protection- M1A2 doesn't
- modular, spaced, and laminate armor plus reinforced inner turrret
and Kevlar liners for crew protection- M1A2 doesn't
- a 1,550 hp turbodiesel which gets better gas milage, consumes less
fuel and air, and has a reduced heat signatire- M1A2 doesn't
- DM 53 ammo plus L55 main gun- just as lethal as M1A2 with L44 copy
and DU round
- been adopted by most of Europe- M1A2 rejected in every Euro-trial
