Yes, I was a bit generic in linking this only to cables. I mean electronic equipment in general. I can increase the cable length, but I can reduce the weight of a piece of equipment, for example. But if I’m not mistaken, there’s a US program called NGREA (Next Generation Survivability Architecture).
All the potential weight reductions I see in that post were done in the turret, and those are already accounted for when subtracting turret weight from total weight to get the weight of the hull
This is not to say there weren’t any weight reductions in the hull of course
I also just realized that the weight reduction was only in the turret, and that raised another question for me: since there was a 700kg reduction, what did those 700kg become? Armor? Because if it’s armor, the tons of difference found and applied in the game today need to be reviewed; 700kg in the turret doesn’t just disappear out of nowhere.

Regarding NGREA, we understand that the main mission was to consolidate dozens of these old and heavy cables, as well as the individual analog electronic boxes, inside the case, into unified digital slots. If a single short tablet cable weighs 4.5 kg, the total mass saved by eliminating the old wiring and metal boxes from the case is enormous. Could the mention of weight in the section you sent be a reason for the modernization and weight reduction? I think we would need more context from that passage.
You go American mains, maybe we can get the other nations MBT issues addressed too.

Brother, trust when i say they don’t even read the evidence because it wouldn’t support their own personal ideas.

Well, it’s getting a major nerf offensively speaking—their cannons are getting a LOT of dispersion—.

Bro, they made an entire devblog because US mains were getting upset about abrams armour…again.
This is the 2nd time they had to do this.
While yes this is true, several sources on the SEP program say theres internal improvements to the hull armor. What this hole post is implying is the hull armor is the same from the 1980s.
So we wait years for a copy paste sep v2 with aps when both tanks couldve gotten the aps? Great addition i must say. Great job, only took 2-3 years.
PREDICTION!
The M1A1 FEP will come 2 YEARS from now in addition with some other aps tanks.
Its a pattern, ounce every 2 years
APS vehicles are generally a new addition.
And I welcome this anti-BMPT APS Abrams with open arms

Couldve been a modification.
But it isn’t and probably will never be.
Or atleast foldered with SEPV2

I dont think that there is a single tank that have aps as a mod, all that have one needs to research a new vehicle
Well thats my point, the lazy abrams we got (SEPV2) was half baked and for a while not worth grinding
