Which I never denied but for the 50th time the hull isnt only the LFP.
Why are we comparing SEPv3 with M1A1 though?
SEPv2 is just 2.766t (combat weight) lighter than SEPv3 for example.
For M1 Abrams → M1A1 I may actually even be able to figure our what was changed overall (it was ofc not only the armour) as I have way more material on them.
Will give an update once I scoured through it.
I found a old datamine that said the m1a2 original hull got a change from 0.42x to around 0.48x (also the 800mm armor on m1ip/m1a1 has a halved multiplier compared to m1 original)
So not only did they already slightly buffed the hull before, they have no reason to not buff it now
M1a2

the sweet nectar of the datamine has been found

okay i did the rough maths, if the hull armor had the same 0.9X KE Multiplier as the cheeks, it would come out at roughly 530mm LOS at around 40 degrees
Funny words in there I don’t understand, what’s the gist of it?
After abrams moves to 14.0.
Other nations sub APFSDS
Yeah, let’s make experience of meeting abrams in stock insufferable which is already a pinnacle of good great characteristics
If your stock just 1 tap the turret ring and the abrams dies to overpressure, who shoots the hull with HEAT😭
