He’s a reputable source in the armor history community.
The Best Option was General Dynamics, they would just said or no, don’t ask a historian about modern vehicles.
He’s pretty good at pointing you to a unclassified reference if there is one.
I approached him about the T-80 and thermals and he explained the images of the (Export) models that had them despite the in service T-80s not having said thermals.
Back when I cared.
Now I"m ACTUALLY gone lol
Peace.

This is probably our best bet at this time.
We have some :)
Tho asking General Dynamics themselves, they would either say yes the Abrams have been upgrade with DU in it’s hull or no they didn’t add them. A simple yes and no answer would work at this point.

Don’t ask General Dynamics about specifics and raw data. Just ask them if the Abrams hull got actually improved over the years and versions. Worth a try 😂
Other wise leave the armour and let gaijin just add the M829A3 at this point just compensate the lack of upgraded armour, for better ammunition.
At least M829A3 made it through and was “suggested to developers.”
At least we made the point to the devs that there is DU armor in the hull of the Abrams we just didn’t have the KE values which someone else is making a bug report on it right now.
If that’s the case then we should be golden
Right now the best way, is just by guessing. That is close to the official number of the DU inserts.
Can you post the link to the report once its made? We all need to upvote it.
Sure
Yep. We are working on the Leclerc armor values (shameless plug, as we will share the same source for exact values : Community Bug Reporting System) and found values for both the Leclerc and abrams. We are taking kenny’s report and improving it with actual values
We will keep you updated

I understand you guys for this obstinacy, however it would be nice if every now and then there was attention on other tanks like the C1 ARIETE which will face these like all MBTs in the world which modestly exceed 600 mm of armor while Ariete is inserted into these RB with just 300 mm of armour…

It’s still funny to me that they can’t make an educate guess or just use the DU values on the turret for the hull armor considering a lot of other things are educated guesses in the game already.

I can’t read French or Italian… much easier to find sources for your home nation.
