It is the equivalent of AIMv2, with the 3rd Gen DU armor!

Is there somewhere I could read up on all the different Abrams variants? I’m not sure if the AIM and AIMv2 (what’s the difference?) are purely for Australia or if used by USMC, or if what I thought were USMC AIM’s were really FEPs
Thats both a stretch at interpretation of the source and something unrelated to Merkavas in general.
are you aware that the swedish documents were proven to be wrong? even the M1A1 variants already use depleted uranium ^^
AIM is export model for upside down country which is equivalent to M1A2
AIM v2 is better AIM with gen 2 flir, 3rd gen DU armor and basically a M1A2 SEP

AIMv2 US version?
And doesn’t the regular AIM have upgraded thermals?
only a few of them later were all given FEP like package
aim v2 get the armor profile upgrade then
So, from wiki, AIMv2 is improved version of AIMv1 but FEP is similar to AIMv2 but for USMC M1A1’s
Seems to be that way, oddly enough it seems like the wiki for the M1 is incorrect in attaching the “SA” upgrade to the AIM V.2 since it seems like the “SA” upgrade was included during the base AIM upgrade track with the AIM upgrades being strictly maintenance and efficiency related.
FEP basically makes M1A1s a better M1A2(how SEP is introduce)
but yea thats correct
yeah wiki aint really 100% true on these end

M1A1 Firepower Enhancements Program: Maintaining the Combat Edge of the M1A1
From DTIC, it seems like the FEP upgrades were initially just the fire control upgrades the SA got, and a system that allowed the laser rangefinder to dump a GPS target location onto the blueforce tracker.
Meaning that in game the FEP should be able to perfectly scout people if it lases you, would be a rather neat feature.
same doc i tried to submit for the A1 to get 2nd gen thermal cuz i cant see lol
It says heavy and not DU? What is the logic here, it clearly states DU as a separate addition without mention of position. Also not really reliable to give any values or proof that DU did exist on hull.
lets come back to this when there are some new more conclusive sources that don’t already have an official (and in this case reasonable) response too
Are you able to read? It says explosive.
Don’t lump all Americans in with this guy. I for one cite my sources lol
(Apparently, this gets reported lol)

That doesn’t qualify as a source
