interesting design changes in gun rotor, from M1 to IPM1(PV11 XM1 seems already had IPM1 type of rotor) and to M1A1
 
IPM1 had similar structure of rotor as M1A1, but lesser thickness 

105mm HEAT pened turret side ?

"Between Jan and Dec 2001, 45 Abrams tanks suffered fires during training, some were damaged, some were destroyed entirely. Over the tank's life at that point (22 yrs), there had been >600 fires - that's almost 10% of the fleet had..."

An examination of data from peacetime fire incidents experienced by ground vehicles reveals several facets pertinent to this study. In Table 1, peacetime fire incident data for the M1/M1A1 tank for the years 1988, 1989, 1990 and the fires six months of 1991 have been summarized. These data show that the AFES system was only activated 71 percent of the time for M1/M1A1 fires and was adequate to extinguish the fire by itself only 34 percent of the time.
 
 
so how many tanks actually burned ?

engine hatches, same thing, ceramic on FRP, how they planing NOT to damage ceramic tiles during daily maintenance of tank i have no idea 
 
thanks to KR15T0F for help

For those days when you're not sure if your advancing or retreating...

turret LOS, don't know how accurate this is, but this all i can do
 
possible error for this overall- 20-25% in plus

mantlet

the final version of Arjun's calculations, all the thicknesses of the plates correspond to the real ones according to the nomenclature of the armor plates (those that existed), the dimensions of the special armor of the turret may not be accurate because there is nothing to check them with, 2 fuel tanks inside the engine bay have been added to the diagram which were not previously visible, more accurate estimates only possible if someone undertakes to build 3D...
 
*pink plate - pure frp
 
 

something like that, can't tell more accurately 

update on turret
 

 
 

The DRDO Light Tank will weigh about 25 tons and have a crew of three. The tank is planned to sport a 105mm rifled bore gun. This will be capable of firing FSAPDS rounds with 500mm of penetration, HEAT, HESH and ATGMs among others. The planned gun elevation is between -10° and +42° controlled by an electrically powered gun control system. An autoloader will be provided for the main gun.
Secondary armament includes a 7.62mm coaxial gun and a 12.7mm RCWS. Surveillance drones will be integrated with the tank. A diesel engine would be provided which DRDO claims would provide up to 32hp/ton at sea level. The amphibious tank can ford depths of 1.5m. The tank can attain a maximum speed of over 65kmph and will use rubber tracks.
