Talk:Tanque Argentino Mediano

message: "It has 50 millimeters (2 in.) at 75 degrees on the glacis plate and 32 degrees on the vehicle's sides. "
this seems impossible, I look at the picture of the tank, and I think that actually a glacis plate is 32 degrees, and sides are 75 degrees.
can anyone check this?
is thickness 50 millimeters on both hull sides and glacis plate?

replies: text: When armor is measured, 90 degrees refers to a horizontal slope and not a vertical slope, and that's why your measurements are different.  And yes, that's 50mm on both the front and the side of the chassis. JonCatalán(Talk) 18:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Currently the article says
The TAM did not participate in the Falklands War, although it had entered service by the beginning of the conflict.
But how can it have entered service by the beginning of the conflict when it says that it entered service in 1983 and the falklands was 1982? Editing the article to reflect the fact that it entered service after the Falklands War, even if it was actualy in a full state of use for the army, it had not been entered in to service.

thread_title:  Falklands War 

message: Currently (Oct'09) the article says:
The TAM did not participate in the Falklands War, as it had not entered service before the end of the conflict. 
what solves the issue mentioned above.
AFAIK, it was said that the TAM was not deployed due to technical issues related to the soil in the Falklands being too soft (note that the AMX-13 was also not deployed, nor the Sherman), and that thanks were held in the mainland to prevent potential actions from Chile. Hence only the AML-90 Panhard was deployed in the islands.  I need to find verifiable sources to support my statements, however I'd like to know the source of the fact quoted above.

thread_title:  Falklands War (2) 

message: In the relevant section, the following paragraph caught my attention:
This failed when TAMSE lowered the price of the vehicles, angering the Iranian government, which subsequently canceled the offer...
Why Iran would cancel an offer if the price was lowered? Maybe ts should say raised instead? Which is the source of this comment? Please ammend as appopriate.

thread_title:  Attemp to export to Iran 

message: IMHO this article should be rated MID importance for this WP, as the TAM was significant in modernizing Argentina's armored forces, a huge industrial effort, and placed Argentina in the (not so long) list of countries that produced their own armoured vehicles. Have rated article as such.  Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 01:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Asessment for WP Argentina 

message: Many people ask: But why would they have a MEDIUM tank be their MBT? The answer is the Argentine geography. They needed a tank which could tread on all the different types of terrain (large plains in Patagonia, mountains in the Andes, urban cities as Córdoba or Buenos Aires, or even Chilean geography, due to political tensions). That is why almost all other types of armoured units are based on the same chassis.
I haven't found sources other than YouTube videos of tank operators saying this, but I'll keep looking.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.51.240.43 (talk) 20:24, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

message: TAM is being categorized as "Main battle Tank" in the right info Box, though Argentina defines them as "Tanque mediano" = medium Tank.

replies: text: That's not a unique thing. It was developed during world war 2 and has been given to about a half of the tanks made since then. It allows a tank to cross a river by driving on the bottom. GMRE (talk) 20:41, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Snorkel

message: The comparison table in the "variants" section lists 7 of them, but none that would be armed with a 105 mm gun. The main infobox claims that the main armament is a 105 mm gun, meaning that there 8 different vehicles. The comparison tabe should be updated to include the 105 mm gun version. GMRE (talk) 20:41, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The basic vehicle is the 105mm gun-armed TAM tank; the other 7 are variants of the basic vehicle. Hence the table is OK with 7 columns; no changes needed here. Regards, DPdH (talk) 15:59, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
