I am right in my assessment. This confirms it

as always

Do you realize that this layout is the exact model that it is currently in game?

You’re completely overlooking the part where the backside of the nera pack has a 5" thick armor plate which is NOT the exact layout in game

Unless you mean the gun trunnion which is in game it doesnt show a 5’’ plate behind the nera

Gunshield → Nera plates → 5" thick armor (not modeled and is missing) → cannon breach

It is modelled in game…

That image is for the base M1. The armor for the gun shield on the base M1 would be different than the M1A1 and later for multiple reasons.

The Trunnion Rotor mount on the 105mm is a solid milled slab. And the the stabilizer elevation resolver is mounted in front of the Rotor, between it and the composite gun shield.

The Trunnion Rotor mount on the 120mm gun is cast and hollow on the rear side, but set at an angle. The Resolver is mounted behind the Trunnion Rotor bearing mount on the M1A1 and later 120mm gun Abram’s tanks.

That is this piece, not the backside of the nera plates.

Using the same image as you, there isnt anything between the nera and the trunnion, the only thing that could be missing from the model in game is the small 5 mm at best plate before of rotor, the rest is hollow.

That piece would no longer exist on the M1A1 and later, as it would no longer be necessary, as the Resolver wouldn’t be there anymore. To be honest, the M1A1 model in game was made well before this document was found.

Sorry for the crude drawing, but there are two pieces there not one

That’s a Sep v2 pictured.

I first though that piece you are speaking of was not modeled, @SPANISH_AVENGER pointed out to me it was. Im saying there is an additional piece of armor mounted to that which is not modeled in game. It sits there screwed into that piece. I don’t know what it’s called.

again in the document that you says that it comfirms your “assessment” doesnt show that.

Yes it does when you look at the first photo I posted.

Where?
