    I would be ok with it being named after the B-32 Dominator, the bomber that everyone forgets about.

    Imagine this during the first debate later this month.

    Supposedly it is that 125mm L/70 gun.

    If you remember back at the 2012 AUSA there was a model of an Abrams and Stryker with Trophy mounted. More images here; https://www.flickr.com/photos/21159426@N05/albums/72157631991063163 https://www.flickr.com/photos/21159426@N05/albums/72157632002134922

    Supposedly found in the yard of someone who lives next to the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center.

    This was made not too long ago by a person on 4chan in a thread where the size of the T-14 was being debated. The T-14 and M1 are scaled to the size of their road wheels (700mm for the T-14 and 25 inches for the M1). Warning, big picture.

    I don't remember the cause but it was back in 2014 during a training exercise.

    The guy who took these gave the ok to share them. A couple might be from elsewhere because my folders are not organized.

    I think you can boil it down to "What makes a tank varies by the user and their needs." The beginning felt like a children's show on PBS.

    Misfire.

    GMLRS Alternative Warhead, a blast/fragmentation alternative to the bomblets of DPICM in the anti-infantry/light armor role. And the US policy on cluster munitions.

    What? I wasn't talking about hulls. The Leopard 2's bustle ammo rack is protected from frontal angles by the crew compartment armor.
  21. Ramlaen
    My problem with this image is it does not take into account any side armor.Take a Leopard 2 for example. It may not have armor cavities directly over its bustle, but the armor over the crew compartment still provides cover for its ready rack from a sizable frontal angle.

    When BAE showed off its old M8 prototypes last year to spark discussion about Mobile Protected Firepower, it made everyone think it was coming back. Now that we know a little more about MPF it appears what is actually being brought back to life is 50mm Supershot. Some videos from the Soldier Innovation Workshop where MPF was discussed. What these guys describe sounds a lot like a CVR(T) Mark 2 to me.

    According to General Dynamics, a M1A2 is 3.66 meters wide and 2.38 meters tall with a ground clearance of .48 meters. According to KMW, a Leopard 2A6 is 3.77 meters wide and 2.64 meters tall. They do not state a ground clearance but according to MM it is .55 meters. This means a Leopard 2A6 is .11 meters wider and .19 meters taller (hull bottom to turret roof).

    Except it is, I am not talking about length. The hull of an Abrams at the turret ring is the same height as the hull of a T-72 at the turret ring, while the hull of a Leopard 2 at the turret ring is significantly higher than the hull of a T-72 at the turret ring.Furthermore the turrets do not have the same vertical thickness at the front where the armor cavity volume (and weight) is. The inner walls of the side armor come up to the hatches (at least on the Abrams), if the combination of hatch/cupola width and distance between hatches is smaller on one tank then there is less internal width being armored.
