What im interested is this part:

btw, try to find this walkaround 

This are the requirements written in 1977/1978 of the Dutch army when they needed a new tank which became the Leopard 2.

a: with direct fire kinectic or chemical energy ammunition of enemy tanks or anti-tank weaponsystems to a distance of 2000 mtr (only for the frontal armour)

b: direct fire armour piercing projectiles with a caliber  from 20mm to 30mm to a distance of 100mtr (all around)

c;  the effects of shrapnel from enemy 152mm HE exploding at 30mtr distance

d: enemy detection

e: fire and explosion after a hit

f: AP mines and the effects of AT mines as long as they don't explode under the hull

g: against the use of NBC weapons including the effects of an EMP

(in a other document about the nuclear protection, minimal 20KT at 1km 50% change tank and crew 1 hr employable)

And this is what the Germans told about the protection of the Dutch Leopard 2A4s

This armor block is a one piece block with cutouts for a polymer at a 90% steel 10% polymer ratio,

it look like just 4 steel plates welded together, why you think there is polymer inside ?

A crude comparison I made between a SEPv3 and an older Abrams.

camera angle imho, can't see much difference check distance from idler to front plate

There is no difference in RPG or AT-4 or Carl Gustav effectiveness against slat armor.

there is difference between RPG-7 and AT-4/CG - fuse + AT-4 has support ring in nose part, so you can't shortcut fuse and damage cone, grenade will simply work

cage armor

useless against AT-4 or Carl Gustav grenades, and 50/50 vs RPG-7 grenades so...only good part about it, it distancing explosion force away from thin armor
