John Kettler Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Quite some time ago, Panzerleader did an AAR based on his own unit. Thought the people here might enjoy a look at what a fully kitted out Abrams looks like these days, and for once, not in CARC but European pattern. I understand the why, but I sure do miss the streamlined look the tank used to have. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Michael Emrys, Just imagine having to do decontam! If course it'd be even worse for the Russians. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinty Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Just an FYI. CARC is a type of paint not a color. It stands for Chemical Agent Resistant Coating, and is actually highly toxic when it's in liquid form. The Desert Tan color is referred to as just that, Desert Tan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUSKER2142 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Additional armor on the tower is impressive 100-150 mm approximately . I would say, checkmate of MoD RF. Edited February 22, 2019 by HUSKER2142 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The Drive posted an article saying that was the armor. I've seen the weights previously. This would be the 3rd set of weights I've seen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small arms like the MGs on the roof have certain rules regarding being left unattended. It's likely just easier to keep plywood weapons mounted and not have to mount/dismount the real MGs each time the garage is closed for the day. This is rather obviously a "US Army future platforms" exhibit of sorts judging by the M1's stablemate in any event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
