This would also be aplicable to the Stryker and the Bradly I would imagine.
The Abrams might be built to take a direct hit by a sagger?
As stated by BD before though, the better vantage point up top is very important in urban inviroments and is SOP, atleast in our Armour units. |
The M1 uses Depleted Uranium Armor, so it is more difficult for a HEAT Round to pass into the Crew Compartment.
I'd say as a former Engineer that I could disable even an M1 with a single 155mm Shell used as an Improvised Mine, but I've never done it.
Redleg, I'll shoot you a PM as to the how, I wouldn't want to give any bad people any ideas (as if they needed any help).
