Hey all, I finally found a diagram of the AGT1500 which has a direct reference to where the accessory drive is. (hydraulic pump) I’ve also found a prototype hydraulic reservoir so the two can not be confused. See bug report here.

Hopefully this will get accepted.
I’m also trying to compile a bug report about the turret basket using these photos. Unfortunately I can not find the original source documents of the pictures for citations. If anyone knows where these photos came from, it would be really helpful. Thanks
I’d like to get Gaijin to change the basket itself into aluminum instead of having it a part of the horizontal turret drive. They should be two separate components. I think this would help the Abrams immensely.

You’re confusing a balance feature for a historical problem. They know it’s not historical. They don’t give a fuck. It’s there to bring the Abrams and Leopard power down a touch so other 12.0s can compete with them.
Where has it ever been said to be a balance feature?

These documents explicitly state unrestricted distribution authorizations on the full versions sent in the bug report.
Thankfull this isn’t another abrams leak (Assuming all the images actually come from the docs, which I pray they do).

I made sure to check before I posted. I’ve found other documents online that do not have that stamp which I will not post.
The last 3 photos have been floating on the forums for quite a while. I’d like to find the source documents they came from
I was referencing Gaijin’s secret meeting place where the shadowy dealings that reject blatantly obvious historical documents take place. Nothing to do with leaking sekrit dokuments.

It’s on the user to provide proof of declassification, If you don’t have the source material for those it would be wise to remove them until you can prove this.

It’s been posted many times thus far already and has been on the forum for months if not years. I’ve deleted them per your suggestion.
The ones you posted i could only find your posts, Unless i’m missing something. Not full documents saying they are declassified & approved for public release, But you don’t know where the source came from.
Again it’s not my rule, It’s on the user to post proof of it.

The ones pertaining to the bug report are declassified as Xeno already elaborated on. I’ll msg you with the original post I found it from once I find it
I know i checked also, But the ones removed are not full documents and relate to something different from the bug report ^^

Correct, I was asking the community for the sources of said photos. I’ve pmed you with the first source
Yeah i found like a 1000 pages document online on the abrams that i think is classified, it has the little ”Distribution statement C” thingy
But its the technical field manual on the m1a2 sep so I don’t know if it’s classified

Obviously im not gonna show any of it but it was kinda nothing interesting to be honest, it just showed what to do if the shit stops working
I also have a question would it count as distribution if i copied the link here? Or illegal of any kind?

Do you guys think this is enough info for Gaijin to separate the horizontal aiming drive from the turret basket?

If you can find it via google… its not classified.
