  1. In RL this wouldn’t have been a Turret penetration. The hatches would have received damaged along with the wind sensor and the EAPU.
  2. Correct which the 1W107-9 connects to
  3. The First picture is where the Smoke Grenade discharge harness runs under which is the 1W107-9. It runs back between the loader's hatch and the TC's hatch where it enter's into the turret to another harness. Also another Harness 1W505 is routed next to the 1W107-9 which goes to the Missile Counter Device, Measure Device or Power Cables. This harness is also routed through the turret at the same spot between the Hatches. The 1W504 Harness is another harness routed next to the two stated, which goes from the EAPU Remote Control Box in the Turret to the EAPU itself located at the rear of the tank in the bustle rack. This harness also is routed between the Hatches. So three harnesses are routed all together under the cover plates. As for the second picture, like everyone stated its from the MILES Velcro glue. The Glue will stained over time without being cleaned off.
  4. Pretty good, got its own stab and FCS system
  5. Here are more details about it: https://www.armyrecognition.com/united_states_army_heavy_armoured_vehicles_tank_uk/m1a2_abrams_sep_v3_main_battle_tank_technical_data_sheet_specifications_pictures_video_11710154.html
  6. The M1A2C IMO is a great tank. The SEP V2 is a great tank also. Just lack of maintenance and sitting in the motorpool, the tank goes to crap. The V3’s made it easier for crews to do 2 level maintenance in the field while at the same time saving down time of the tank. The V3 also has faster FCS processing along with many other improvements. The CROWS-LP is also a big improvement over the previous version with FCS improvements. The Armor on the Hull and Turret has been redesigned for the lastest modern threats.
  7. You can change me to I66. I will take the CO position.
  8. Its just extra air that the compressors do not need, The air is reverse through the bleed valve then would be compressed back through if needed. BTW that butterfly valve is a pain to replace
  9. Is an automated system for prolonging the life of the engine, by maintaining a free flow of air; this is accomplished by sequentially back-flushing the air cleaner assembly intake filter elements. The PJS consist of an Air Supply Line (used when the engine is running, to provide air from the engine), an air pressure accumulator (located in the plenum), a vacuum switch (located between the intake filter elements and the engine), nine PJS solenoids attached to the air pressure accumulator installed in the engine intake plenum, element dividers, the scavenger duct and fan, and a PJS Pulse Control Unit is located in the hull near the hydraulic reservoir. When vehicle master power is turned on, the PJS Pulse Control Unit (PCU) begins to monitor engine RPM. The first time engine speed exceeds approximately 1500 RPM, the PCU will start a timer. When the accumulated engine run time above 1500 RPM reaches two minutes, the PCU will activate the PJS. This two-minute timed initialization period occurs only once per PCU power up. Engine bleed air is used to charge an accumulator, located inside the plenum, to approximately 200 psi. Attached to the accumulator are nine PJS solenoids. Three solenoids are used for each intake filter element. Each solenoid is sequentially activated for a period of 100 milliseconds at approximately 10 second intervals. Upon activation, a solenoid directs a high pressure air pulse into an intake filter element. Activating all nine solenoids in sequence is consideredone cycle of operation. These high pressure pulses of air cause a momentary reverse air flow through a portion of the intake filter element in line with the solenoid. This blows out dust or dirt accumulations from that portion of the intake filter element. Any dust or dirt blown out falls to the bottom of the air box and is scavenged out through the scavenge ducts. The system initially starts in the low clean mode. The low clean mode consists of three cycles of pulses (27 total) repeated at approximately 15 minute intervals. Any time the PCU monitors an engine speed below 1410 RPM for longer than 10 seconds, pulsing will cease. If the engine speed goes back above 1500 RPM, the PCU will resume operation at the point in the cleaning cycle where it left off. During operation, the PCU monitors the level of flow restriction through the use of a vacuum switch located between the intake filter elements and the engine. Whenever the vacuum level reaches approximately 19 inches of water, the vacuum switch will open. At this signal, the PCU will switch to a high clean mode. The high clean mode will be maintained until the flow restriction decreases to the point where the vacuum switch closes. The vacuum switch will close at approximately 12 inches of water. The PCU rechecks the state of the vacuum switch each time two cycles of pulses are completed. During the high clean mode, the PCU will continuously pulse all nine solenoids sequentially at approximately 10 second intervals. There is no 15 minute delay intervals between every third cycle in the high clean mode. When the high clean mode signal is no longer present, the PCU will end the high clean mode with three final cycles (27 pulses).
  10. No Problem, during that video it was in low clean mode, If it switched to high clean there would be dust and dirt coming out constantly.
  11. Pulse Jet System, for cleaning Vee-Packs. Air system
  12. I'll say the M1A2 SEP's Ballistic Computer is working just fine. https://youtu.be/ohCUz2sFv54
  13. Colebrook maybe one of us or someone here like Gibsonm can meet up with him on teamspeak and watch him shoot a few rounds to see what’s exactly happening. I sent him a PM already
