Another distinguishing feature between the baseline M1 and the M1IP is the rearmost section of the side skirts; on the M1 it is triangular in shape, whereas on the M1IP and later Abrams models it is shaped like a sideways L (or in some cases removed altogether).

Those are not part of the sprocket. You can see them on modern day US Marine Corps tanks. It's to prevent throwing track. There's a reason you dont really see them on the SEP tanks but I'm not 100% sure why it changed. It wasn't variant specific so it's not mentioned as a visual difference. It was also not on every tank of those variants.

Missed out on M1A1 Heavy Common(HC) variant, the one specifically made for Marines and used up to this day. Though it did appear on video at 3:56

M1A2C turret armor modules are about 13 percent thicker (LOS) than previous M1A2 SEP. Also the shape of the front turret is subtlety different. I made comparison that are posted on the sturgeon forums.

I thought they installed missiles to side of the tanks like in Command and Conquer, looks cool but impractical.

Excellent video as usual. I have one small nit to pick. Your pronunciation of "CROWS" is correct according to the rules. But we still say it like "Croh". Your English sounds like "Kraus" to English speaking ears. Because...English. ;)

Good Video. M1A2C or sepV3 also has some extra hull armour. I suspect they feel that the performance of potential 130mm-152mm Apfsds and advanced HEAT warheads Is rather high.

It’s 6 in da morning.. I’m ready to go differentiate M1 Tanks!

Love the video! But could you perhaps add side-by-side photos of the differences between details of versions? Because things like those are easier to identify when you have seen both next to each other. Otherwise it's really great, just something I think would make it even better.

You need to make these tank spotters guide for Soviet tanks and others.

@joncoo

Жыл бұрын

Apparently the spaced add-on armour modules on the turret front defeat a hollow charge prior to reaching the base armour, and causes kinetic-energy penetrators to change direction, eroding them in the process; it does not form a shot-trap, since it does not deflect the penetrators outwards to hit the hull or turret ring.

Could you make a video of how to differentiate the leopard 2 variants and how to identify their year of production?

Good review... surprised the under armour APU took so long to get going as this was a major failing
