I'm just waiting for some US main to leak classified documents about either a Bradley or M1 Abrams. It'll probably happen at some point sadly.,(reply>), @T Hub I'm really interested in military history from WWII onwards. I'm mainly interested in aircraft, but I still like learning about tanks. It's really fascinating to me how much tanks (and the ammunition they use) have evolved in ~100 years time.,(reply>), @CMTechnica You’re overthinking this m8. The U.S is batman.,(reply>), If you are interested in (to me) the truly fascinating parts , look up how our main gun rounds are structured and how they interact with armor in different ways. Each one is like a precision science experiment launched at a 1 mile/s to impact targets the size of studio apartments from a few kilometers away. Once you see how the triangle of armor, mobility, and firepower interact (while realizing there are a practical limits on based on size and cost of vehicles ) you start to REALLY appreciate the science behind "sword vs the shield " that makes up much of armored warfare (especially if you have to actually man the damn things lol )  From there you can study how combined arms are Necessary on a truly modern battlefield.....and then realize that almost always, more is better, and numbers can make up for a lot of shortcomings in your own forces. The science behind it all is really fascinating, if you are into that kind of thing.,(reply>), @T Hub yep. Wer Thonder just models the armor as 2 steel backing plates and unspecified NERA and composite in the middle. <br><br>At least may i ask where the DU inserts in the turrets are placed.,(reply>), @Veloxy yeah, sadly. If the Abrams is Superman, then Kryptonite is the only thing capable of destroying it. Does Superman go around telling everyone he's weak to a glowing green rock? No<br>With conflict w China a very real possibility, keeping the armor composition of the vehicle that would very likely be storming the frontlines is extremely important.
