what about the 2a83 on T-14 which would be the emerging threat, US surely was aware of previous russian 152mm development for many years before which would also have been the emerging russian/soviet threat
Would you like to post it in the Bug report?
Or would it be okay if I attach these with the comment Ive made?
Could you attach it with the comment please? I’m too dumb to make a bug report.
No, you’re fine. I encourage you to, I will attach it for you
what about other russian 152mm cannons
Thanks!

This document is about the 1979, baseline M1, and talking about the old Chobham.
No russian MBT with a 152mm exists in service, it’s a problem that doesn’t exist
It seems you’re right. I will remove it prompty. Thanks for looking out for it

how does that matter at all? if they were aware of the russians working on next gen 152mm tank guns that would then be an emerging threat
It shows where the armor is thickest for the base M1, which should allow us to derive a sort of estimate with other documents of how thick the A2C’s is.
If russian MOD will make such demand, US MOD will respond accordingly to a program of upgrade
There are way too much factors to count, it’s a non-question
it was the 80s or early 90s
I will link the source here for you as I have removed it, I don’t want to clutter the Bug Report so much that the Mods will be fiddling around.

russian MoD made the demand to develop and test 152mm smoothbore guns
Yes, and i mean as answered before “in service”, governments don’t react to tank warfare and make changes upon “testing demands” for tanks upgrades
nuclear arms race proves you wrong.
Soviets tested nukes, so US ramped up its nuke testing and development and then Soviets also accelerated
