    Will the CLGM be adapted for 125mm smoothbore gun? you never know maybe the russkies themselves would want such an ammo.

    Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

    yeah right... while your tanks are busy shooting blindly behind a ridge, a real enemy would just do the same to you with proper artillery from more than twice the distance. oh and that drone you got, say goodbye to it when air defence vehicles are in the vicinity which you cant even reach. what...

    Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

    i stand by what i said, blos for tanks is stupid. when you have thin-skinned FCS tank it makes sense, but with abrams, its just unnecessary capability that adds more expense than needed. if you want precise firepower, you go in with the abrams or use excaliber rounds from arty. @above, no that...

    BLOS weapon for tanks is stupid, tanks have the armor and mobility to fight head-on, so they are not shy to direct firefights like artillery. If damian is right that apfsds is the future, then i think the trend would be more powerful tank guns incorporating novel tech like liquid propellant/ETC...

    Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

    I have a question: with all the hardkill systems and next-gen reactive armor how will APFSDS fare? will we see a return to HEAT (albeit now guided and with top-attack + countermeasures; HEAT rounds have a lot of space to spare). IMO apfsds future will mostly decided by gun power and materials...

    IMO the arjun mk1/2/infinite should be discarded, scrapped. a JV for FMBT should take its place. it doesnt have to be with russia, most big name countries are developing their 4th gen mbt or would with indian help. heck you could call it arjun for prides sake :rofl:

    Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

    Well, IMO HEAT GLATGMS may be useless against the frontal armor, but still, there is a huge chance in case of hit that some sensors are damage, tracks destroyed, weakspots hit or in case of M1 Abrams' turret bustle, a mission kill inflicted. Also, I dont think there are that much GLATGMS at...

    Really? What news? Also, what is hull height of Abrams? Is it true that GLATGMs are sh*t when used in Europe?

    Will Armata MBT have 6 or 7 wheels?

    Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

    Just as I thought. Are there other designs that maximize ammo load? I am particularly interested in the Abrams Block-3's solution since IMO ammo beneath turret ring is safer than in turret bustle.

    Question: If I were to store two-piece ammo(125mm ammo + propellant stub) vertically under the turret ring(about the diameter of a T-90's) of a tank with unmanned turret using carousel, how much would I be able to store? (each round canister is about a meter high)

    Is it true that in Europe Western tanks were meant to be used in dugout positions where they sniped soviet tanks and fall back as quickly as possible to another prepared position as soon as they got overwhelmed?

    Hmm, perhaps we will see M1A3, Leopard 3, and T-99 Armata sporting such ERA. Would be interesting to see what sort of modifications would each of them apply.
