  1. I found it ! http://pogoarchives.org/m/ns/m1/appendix-d.pdf
  2. I can't find the old article which demystified the so-called M1 Abrams flaws anymore. I don't remember who had posted it on the forum, maybe @Walter_Sobchak
  3. Note that the hull sides of the STRV-2000 should have included 150 mm-thick composite armor.

  5. Why not upgrade its AVDS-1790-8CR engine (1050 hp) to the AVDS-1790-9A standard (1200 hp) ? Or even better, the AVDS-1790-10 (1500 hp), if it's possible.

Its muzzle velocity of 1174 m/s was the same as that of the M456 projectile which it was designed to replace but, because of the lower drag of its pointed nose body and the stability provided by its slender pop-out fins, it proved significantly more accurate.

  10. " When you like APFSDS but the only things you have are mortars. "
  11. Early Chrysler XM-1 validation phase model with a coaxial Bushmaster weapon system :
