Post; M1 Abrams Specs


G'day all

I'm nine pages and weeks of data processing into terrain analysis report and I'm trying to find some specs on what slope and sideslope a M1 is restricted to.

The web sites I've looked at tell me what speed a M1 can achieve at 10% and 60% slope but not specifically what I'm after.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Here is something from the PA Deaprtment of Military and Veterans Affairs

35. Driving the tank up or down hills or more than 31° grade or 22° slope could cause the tank to slide.
