M1 Abrams (all variants) - Technical Data and Discussion

Machinery of War Discussion Ground Vehicle
1

This is quite heavily WIP so let me know to add stuff or if they need to be seperated

There was no post like this on the abrams so might aswell make one
Feel free to post information that isnt classified since that is not allowed.
And as a bonus try to keep the discussion civil and keep it more or less related to the technical data about the Abrams.
And not about how bad it is ingame

Fun fact the clickbait and the m1a1 HC are actually the same tank model (excluding the dozer blade) nice to see that you picked up on that in this a lot of people don’t know that

Technically speaking, the M1A1 AIM has a commander sight modeled ingame on the .50 Cal, however it’s non functioning at the moment. Hopefully they’ll fix it eventually.

i think it might have been functional in the dev server when it was first added back then.

Also thanks for reminding me to put the AIM into the thermals section i forgot it

Are the links region restricted perhaps?

It requires access permission, which it says you can receive via e-mail, but the e-mail is never received.

Ukrainans keeping the spirit, If I almost close my eyes and look far away, that Abrams looks like a T-80.

Man, kinda want the Ukr mod M1 slathered in K1, it sounds like a riot. Hull roof extension getting more armor against CE is interesting.

I would separate the flir from the Sep to the SepV2. Although it’s not currently applicable in game, the SepV2 featured the upgraded Block 1B flir . Raytheon and the Army don’t provide too much insight into the specifics of the upgrade beyond basics.

“ Block 1 second generation FLIRs will improve Block 0 performance and put
more capability in the hands of war fighters. The new system generates a
clearer image with more scene contrast, less jitter and higher resolution.”

Well this seems to back up the idea that DU hulls were planned to be added to M1A2 SEPs (including retrofits of M1A1s) starting in 2006.
