Fine.

About the only thing the Germans have going for them is the Leopard 2. And the British also only have the Chieftain for their claim to fame. Personally, their lighter vehicles are utter rubbish. The Germans have Kubelwagon dopplegangers and the British have Land Rovers with armor. I'm not sure if it's changed since '99, but it probably hasn't.

We aren't a whole lot better, first with the MUTT, then the HMMVW, but the Force Industries, Inc. Cougar has the power to once again put our name at the top. The M1 Abrams is a fine tank - it could be said there's no better - but tanks make up a small fraction of an army's vehicle resources.

Now the Russians, there's where it's at. They've got the T-90, the ZIL-131, and most of all, they've got the Mil-28 and the Kamovs. Compared to them, the AH-64 and the cheap German and British civilian helicopter converts (Bo-105, anyone?) look like utter junk. The only nation with an AH almost as good is the South Africans, they've got that big, nasty looking chopper down there... Cicada or something, big nasty brute. Too bad they only built 20something of them.
