Well i dont know anything so thats youre guys fault for believing me lol
İts a known information that on equal weights titanium is much stronger than steel.
Thats why many countries using titanium on their planes,tanks and other military vehicles.
It absolutely doesn’t. Its just low enough to not pen, go recheck
It used to, like all the Russian ones do!
Steel. It is always more dense and can be made harder.
That isn’t how it works. Titanium is stronger on a weight to strength ratio like carbon fiber. But titanium is not stronger than steel.
Thats actually what im trying to say,although i couldnt express myself clearly since im tired.
We need to get the turret lowered too

If I did, I would definitely share! XD
Have pay for your own fuel tho.
According to the 1999-2001 Greek trials the Challenger E had worse protection then the M1A2 with the Improved FMS (non-DU armour).
For reference, it also performed the worst out of the 4 western tanks that competed.
…and it still beat the T-80U. XD
SEPv2 uses the same HAP-3 as the M1A2 SEP, and M1A1 AIM uses HAP-2 like the standard M1A2.
The in game AIM is the Australian AIM which is actually an AIMv2/SA meaning it also had HAP-3 (non-DU of course).

Yep. Even Australian Government sources state that it’s got improved hull armor.

There is literally no excuse to not better the Abrams.
The M1A1 AIM’s armour is also interesting, I wonder what is meant by the claim that the non-DU armour even has better protection against some threats:
yea, the T-80U performed quite poorly in those trials, which is saying something, I am not sure what the Vicker’s team did but the Chally was no where near up to par for western/British standards, for instance it lost a huge amount of its rubber track pads whilst just trying to climb an obstacle.
That said I feel bad for the French mains, those trials claim the Leclercs armour was similar then the Challenger 2Es.

I had forgotten that, I was accustomed to thinking the M1A1 AIM and M1A1HC were the same.
Export Abrams still use HAP, not EAP. There has been little to no substantiation as to armor removal or downgrading for export purposes, and even current day Saudi militants are using M1A2s with HAP arrays.
The export armour is not HAP-2/3, i.e. they do not use HAP, they use a non-DU variant that is suppose to be comparable to HAP, although how comparable is unknown as we have nothing on that.
Regardless it is not HAP as HAP specifically stands for Heavy Armor Package i.e. HAP is only for tanks that received DU, export variants do not receive HAP they receive some type of improved FMS armour package as was noted above by Victor:
