@StarshipDirect Keep in mind that one of the Army's main goals for M1E3 is a significant weight reduction, which is a key turbine advantage. Best not to count it out too soon.

An interesting report on the necessity of a next-generation tank, and some of the potential weight reduction efforts for SEPv3/4. Among other things, it mentions a 157MM "Straight chamber cannon" as an armament choice.
