wtf are you even talking about? What you posted shows worse of the two armors having 50% 600mm coverage
that is exactly what that figure states though as it is showing 600mm protection at 30 degrees offset to one side
they both do, there is absolutely no reason a swedish report would be allowed to have classified US armor figures in it
mhm
No.
Wrong.
show me where that says its a chart for domestic US abrams and not the tank they were thinking about adopting, because there is absolutely no reason for it to be based on a US tank when the report was considering buying one with different armor
lmao
quite literally yes it is stating that the lowest armor provided by the turret cheeks in a 60 degree frontal arc is 600mm which is almost exactly the in game value
protip: angle is not measured in meters squared.
That’s not the GD export package :^)
it is though, I really dont know how you can be stupid enough to think that this is depicting a domestic US M1A2
nope
and even the other image indicates turret cheeks offering 600mm+ at 30 degrees
explain to me why in the swedish governments consideration of purchasing the abrams they would need to have armor values not relevant to the tank they are purchasing
also both of the armor packages in the other image would have been US designed and both were stated to be inferior to the domestic package at the time
It is relevant, Sweden was on the market for MBTs before the US self imposed embargoes on Depleted Uranium armour packages and would display upgrade potential over the non-DU package.
any more flailing and cope?
= package designed for sweden (later was also used in greek trials)
= originally tested package
no it is not as abrams began trials after DU armor was prohibited for export, and that still doesnt explain why the US would allow their clasified armor values to be contained and eventualy publicly published in a swedish report
This was never intended for publication
the arc protection chart is still labelled secret btw
if they wanted to display upgrade potential they would list the dimensions of the array, not the protection values of an array they wont get technical details on until it is outdated
thickness of the array would be much more beneficial there as it would provide direct comparisons between other vehicles
that doesnt matter, what if the swedish government decided to sell the information or something, there is a lot of risk if that is a chart for domestic armor that doesnt make sense considering the circumstances
the former is redundant when you have access to the tank and GD engineers for the purposes of recreating the array for ballistic tests
more cope
you are selling a modern state of the art Main Battle Tank, there are more systems than the armour array that would still be classified, you are going to have to divulge and entrust information like this on the export market
except it is still much more useful information than the protection of an array that you dont know the details of
yes but you are not selling a variant with that armor, there is literally no reason to divulge information on a system that you are not selling
you are just coping tbh hf
