I am an Army veteran (3rd Armored Cavalry) with experience with both the M1A1 and M1A2. I will provide quality control if necessary: @2:30 Top speed on flat, solid ground. Slower over rough terrain, but still capable of rapid pace (well over 30mph) @2:33 Fuel is distributed between 4 tanks: 2 in the rear and 2 in the front. Fuel is standard JP8 petroleum, similar to diesel. M1 can also run on other fuel types in distress. @2:45 .6 mpg while driving, it has been suggested (not verified) that it takes 2 gallons to start the engine. For tanks not equipped with an EAPU (External Auxiliary Power Unit, a.k.a. generator) The engine is often left running to keep vital onboard systems operating even while sitting for extended periods- and in theory, to conserve fuel required by frequent restarts. @3:30 There are 7 PAIRS of roadwheels contacting the ground on either side (the narrator is not specific, but the animation did show them). @3:56 The sensation of riding a tank over rough terrain can be described as being in a boat on choppy water: It "floats" over all but the most extreme obstacles. @4:07 I have experienced extreme inclines (up and down) that I would have only attempted with a modified 4x4 vehicle, bridged trenches and never felt them, crossed through mud that would have swamped any other imaginable vehicle, and travelled at speed across rough terrain at top speed that, if attempted in my jeep, would have jarred my teeth loose and broken suspension parts. @5:40 The "Power Pack", or engine, is modular and designed to be quickly, easily and regularly removed to ease maintenance. It can be prepped for removal by the crew and be out on the ground behind the tank within 20 minutes. It can be replaced just as efficiently. I have done this many times. @6:24 "Make sure to stay clear when the engine is on"- There is a "jet wash" at the rear of the tank while it is running that gets more intense under power. At idle it is minor and is a boon during cold, snowy weather (look for groups of soldiers gathered behind idling tanks in the winter enjoying the heat.). ( "Crank up my $6 million space heater." is a common command from tank commanders during the winter.) @6:27 The phone is for infantry (using the tank as cover, etc.) so that they may coordinate movement and safety with the tank crew who are not able to see them. @7:55 In addition to the loader's MG, the commander's hatch is typically equipped with a .50Cal MG (unknown why this is not mentioned or represented.) @7:58 Smoke Grenade Launchers: The animation is inaccurate- smoke grenades are actually launched from the chambers and disbursed around the area to provide wider visual coverage. Not mentioned is that the tank is also equipped with a smoke generator that sprays fuel into the hot exhaust in order to create a large cloud that can be backed into or allowed to drift in a beneficial direction. @10:13 The driver's compartment is often referred to as "the coffin". It is actually very comfortable and drivers are known to doze off during periods of inactivity. - The only thing not mentioned that I need to add is what makes the M1A2 particularly different from the M1A1 is the addition of the CITV (there are other improvements, but this is by far the most significant): The CITV is the Commanders Independent Thermal Viewer: It is the cylindrical protrusion on top of the turret just in front of the loader's hatch. This allows the tank commander to scan the battlefield and acquire targets independently of the gunner or the orientation of the main gun. This provides two sets of eyes independently scanning for targets and gives much more rapid target acquisition before and after firing; enabling immediate referencing of an identified target after another has been destroyed.

FYI Creighton Abrams was the battalion commander of the 37th Tank Battalion in WW2 which was a spearhead unit for General Patton’s army in Europe during WW2. He was an outstanding tank officer, that is why the tank was named after him - not his service in Vietnam.

Lots of people don't realize this. There is a whole book written about it. He was the first person to attack at night with tanks. Keep in mind, this was before the tanks had night vision capabilities. He devised a tactic that is still used today. The drive up into "exposure" posture to fire. Then drive back out of sight. Move, and do it again from a different location. That attack is what won the battle of the bulge. Abrams was such a badass too. Abrams always smoked cigars. Even when in the tank. During an engagement his tank got hit and the shock and blast from the tank getting hit knocked the cherry off of his cigar and that pissed him off more than his tank getting hit. He was just as badass if not more than Patton himself.

The is a hookup for a radio to communicate with the crew inside the tank. A damn good crew can hit a target at almost 4 miles with the main gun, 1000+ meters with the coax, about 950 with the loader's 240. Smoke canister launchers. Unless you are short, you are not completely standing up in a tank, even other countries. If a loader takes longer than 5 seconds to load that gun, they do not need to be on a tank. The most comfortable spots to sleep on a tank are the front slope and driver's hole.

Easy to understand this famous tank completely. It takes only a few minutes to grasp the reason why this tank is applauded as the excellent.

Just so people are aware. This is very well done video of fundamental information that does not vear that much off from all tank designs. The type of materials that make up the armor and the fire control systems are what really separate tanks on the battlefield. This is why Ukraine is getting a version of of the tank that has Tungsten armor and not the classified one the U.S uses. The tanks they are receiving will be new production for this reason. The U.S makes about 10 to 15 tanks a month for our military and others.

Here in Vermont we have a Dairy Festival every year well except for this year due to fing COVID the parade in nearly 60 years was never cancelled until this year even nasty weather never got it cancelled. But a white ago a big part of the parade was a M1 Abrams that use to be in it. They are not all that loud even sitting within 15 feet of them its just a low pitched hum. Them being loud is probably the game devs inventing it to that other players will hear them coming. Because if it where historically accurate you wouldn't hear them until they are on top of you. They took the M1 out of the parade because it was destructive to the pavement when it had to turn for the parade route.

@@jackc2849 The newest iteration, the M1A2C, probably has quite a few classified systems onboard. It will also be very interesting to see which changes are made the upcoming M1A2D.

I'm just gonna put this here real quick The tank is protected by an armor type known as composite armor, basically this armor consists of different elements sandwiched between each other, the armor works differently depending on the ammunition type fired at it, for kinetic energy rounds (the ammunition tanks used to go against other tanks) it shatters the dart using the hard and brittle ceramics, as for shaped charges (it's basically the ammunition of the RPG but for tanks) it deflects the molten jet stream using spaces between the armor, thought this is just one type of composite armor, the Chobam armor which is used in the M1A2, there are other types of composite armor used on different tanks, with different ways on how they work, this armor is placed almost all around the tank (on some tanks even the front pieces of the side skirts), though it is more concentrated on the turret, as seen on the X-Ray at 9:01 Aside from composite armor there are also other ways to improve a tank's protection, such as Explosive Reactive Armor, this type of armor is used on the M1A2 TUSK (Tank Urban Survival Kit) modification, these are those square boxes on the side of that particular modification, this armor explodes upon contact with both kinetic energy rounds and shaped charged rounds, although it protects better against shaped charges, by exploding, it prematurely detonates the ammunition and disturbing the trajectory of the jet stream, and making it hit the outside armor harmlessly. Correction : I made a mistake on the M1A2's armor, and that is apparently the Chobham armor was not on that particular tank, it is only present on the M1 Abrams model, the earliest variant with a 105mm cannon, the M1A2 uses what's called a HAP-3 armor, which is an armor developed from the aforementioned Chobham armor P. S. if you want to try War Thunder I'd suggest to be patient while playing it, especially with the grind and the fact that sometimes you have to fight against Cold War era tanks in a WW2 vehicle (the matchmaking is based on a tank's performance and not the time they were built), though this will only happen at later tiers so don't worry about lower tiers, it's quite fun there

On the surface, this is a pretty solid 3D model of an abrams, but there's some seriously questionable aspects ot the model, such as the symmetric turret, the raised drivers hatch, the huge lower front plate, the lack of 50 cal machine gun, the extruded mantlet, but overall, it does do a good job at expressing the profile of the abrams

I got to serve on all three of these tanks in the 90's. I remember the most significant changes were the 105mm gun of the M1 to the 120mm smooth bore gun of the M1A1 and the CITV (Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer) of the M1A2 that allowed the gunner and Commander to scan for targets simultaneously and a built in navigation system.

I saw a demo in the mid 80's of an M60 and an M1 running the test track/firing range on a proving ground. The M60 was and still is a great tank even though it is outclassed by the M1. So what I saw was an M60 hustling around the obstacle track, stop, fire at a target a mile away and hit it. Slam it into gear and go around the track again. They were firing tracer type rounds that you could follow all the way down range. The M1 came out and flew around the obstacle track, mud, water, actually got air over the speed bump and when it hit the ground fired a round through the center of the target. What seemed like 10 seconds later while running the next obstacle they fired again with a direct hit. Then the thing took off down range and they demo'd the smoke system. As the announcer is saying some dribble the M1 comes flying out of the smoke towards the viewing stand and even at 500 yards it was frightening to see this thing coming at you. The crowd cheered and we all thought Go Army we are damn glad that you are on the job!

Good video! One correction-once the loader secures his round from behind the ballistic shield doors, he does not rotate his body 180 degrees clockwise and then place the round into the breech. There is absolutely no physical room within the turret to accommodate this action and, even if there were, it would be impossible to maintain your balance while the tank is moving. It would also take way too long to load. Once you secure the round with your left hand on the aft cap, you place your right hand under the casing. Push the round upward with your right hand so that the business end now rests in the crook of your left arm like you are cradling a baby, and place your right hand on the aft cap. The round is now pointed directly into the open breech. Push forward with your right fist so that the round slides along your left arm and into the breech, which will slam closed. Make sure the shield door is closed, take the weapon off of manual “safe,” clear the path of recoil, scream “UP,” and brace yourself for the ignition and recoil that follows. I spent 9 years on the M1, M1IP, M1A1, M1A1“Heavy,” and the M1A1HC, and this video brought back hella memories. Including drying my wet with sleet clothing in the exhaust on early, freezing mornings. PS: after 3 days in the turret with 2 other big, unshowered guys on MRE diets, the stench gets pretty heinous.

EAU version also features a third one which is an engine-driven mechanical heavy-duty air-conditioning mounted in the left part of the hull directly on the engine. AZUR version features the same last one with additional protection against molotov coktail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leclerc_tank

Fantastic video. Thank you!

stay clear when the engine is on, lol. um we used the running engine of a tank as a heater many times. also was great and fast way to heat up our mre's.

Great job on the animation. From 1976 to 1982 I worked for Snap-Tite Inc. in the engineering dept. We were contracted to design the hydraulics for the targeting system on the main gun. The specs we were given said that the gun must be able to hold on target at 70mph over rough terrain. We met these requirements with our design. At that time, the tank was designated as the XM1 Abrams and they were still undecided on what would power the tank. I for one, was disappointed, when the tank went into service with a top speed of only 42-45 mph. The hydraulic control system we designed, was able to hold the gun on target up to 75 mph. Thought you might be interested. God bless and stay well.

I wouldn't hold to much to military speed ratings, trust me they are only suggested speed ratings and not the actual maximum speed. Go look at an M817 6x6 dump truck speed tag. Trust me when I tell you it's BS. I have personally driven one 80 MPH and kept it there going down the highway.

@@halahmilksheikh Lets just say (on behalf of the military) that compromises were made. The M1 series tops out at 45-50 over good terrain. Would have been mush more effective if the top speed goals were met.

You would be happy to know that during ODS we were hitting targets past 2500 m going north of 45 mph. That's about all I can say about it. Seriously though, you guys designed great hydraulics for the turret and gun elevation. In 13 years I never saw a hydraulic rupture of any kind in the turret.

I was the signal officer for a Tank Battalion of M1A2 in the early 90s. Quite a sight to see them live fire on the range; especially, at night. Look like a single pulse of a tight red laser beam at night moving when a sabot round is fired down range for +2 miles at night and covers the distance in under 2 seconds.

You know it's funny that the Commanders hatch looks just like that observation room on the flight deck of aircraft carriers.

Hi how does someone create an animation like this. I mean what software does someone use and what training will you have generally had. Is it somethin I can teach myself in my bedroom in my bedroom. Thanks
