Yeah I was expecting that much. Would it be worth the tradeoff? Don´t know but plenty of whales would think so which makes this super limited edition tank liable to be introduced as an event vehicle.

yk looking at the abrams hull i think it would have increase thickness, because the original M1 has to be below the 20 inches thickness to mount drivers equipment but since they got an upgrade id say the thickness(as in composite) would have been increase slightly
i think it would be atleast increase 4 more inches of composite, maybe less
and front hull originally was rated around 380mm KE so x1.41 is ~535mm, which is m900 resistance
Even if you go that way, wouldn´t change much vs top tier APFSDS.
I dont think all abrams has DU hull armor, it would make sense for the v3 or maybe v2 to have it but otherwise they arent, what they need to do is fix the current problem of abrams and the annoying volumetric overpressure on gun shield, the bottom line of the turret face and the gunner sights
replying to @sartt
yeah but hey atleast it can resist against top tier atgm and 3bm46
my conspircary is
the US like the 40/60mm increase gradually so the front hull would have 400mm-480mm composite and the popularize 38.1mm outer steel, as for side armor on turret i think base on how cramped the current abrams are i think they would have a composite increase, probably to the original 360mm composite
thats just what im thinking. And for the roof i think its much thicker than just 2.5cm thick, that i dont think is enough to protect against grenade
did you mean to reply to me?
oh shit yall have the same pfp mb cuh

the lack of du armor really doesnt mean that there was no armor upgrades, the increases in weight make no sense otherwise, but alas not really relevant. we dont really need better hull armor for sepv2 to be competitive
sepv2 really doesnt need du armor to be competitive. if they fixed tusk and the turret ring it would already be much better, then you add trophy and its even better
possibly lws but yeah ig
still DU hull for balance
leopard has better hull armor
T-series better
type 10/tkx
ztz are all better than the hull of the abrams(if u just count the hull and not the weakspot ofc/abrams hull are giant weakspot anyway)
just add it to m1a1ha/sa too if added for gameplay variety,
then simply add trophy to sepv2s
Thats true but as far as I know, the increments in weight happen in the turrets model to model.
id argue that giving sep v2 du hull because without it it basically you have to hull down but you cant at the same time
top tier players know where to aim, the gun shield is fatal, spot near gun shield is also fatal
sepv1 to sepv2 had significal weight increments yet we dont see any correspondence on anything
that is because of how nonsense overpressure works. unless gaijin actually finishes the mechanic we’ll never have it fixed so a toggle for tusk is needed
apfsds can also pen gun shield
the abrams have alot of issue
fix them first then we can make changes for it
but id need to wait 2-4 more years until they fix one of them
There are 3 sub variants of SEPv2. The first SEPv2 relatively little weight increase from SEPv1, and that difference can be explained by the addition of new systems such as that famously chunky RCWS rather than differences in armor. Later SEPv2 are a different story and I´m trying to make sense of it.
the problem is to get gaijin to even fix the current issue
they too busy making money
And hopefully, they add Sepv3 this year which been long overdue
