MAJ_Fubar Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Ssnake, any chance we can get a SEP wiki entry for Consolation Prize #5? Looks great. Doubt that will happen until after the release and we've had the opportunity to play with the thing first. Some point after that, a brave soul will rewrite the current entry and we're off, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Of course, I could be wrong, since V-man didn't port the M1A1 page to the new wiki, perhaps something is in the offing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I never fought a frogfoot, but I don't think you'd fair to well without anti-air. They're a lot faster targets than the loitering A-10 you know. I think you already know this, but I thought I would mention it before you started screaming, "Tenno Heika Banzai!" :wink:Well it was more to do with they tactics they used, low & slow plinking at you with 23mm cannons and your TC being something akin to John Rambo. :biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Lion Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Um, yeah, I offer to beta test the M1A2 SEP v2. :biggrin:Very nice, I now wait with the greatest anticipation for 3.0.Thanks to all at eSims! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the new wiki M1A1 page still have a lot of formatting issues for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the new wiki M1A1 page still have a lot of formatting issues for you?Well, it isn't visible in the vehicle list... Nope, I've got the M1 and the 'A2, but no 'A1. The old page is accessible through the "complete index" link, but nothing in the new format. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old page is accessible through the "complete index" link, but nothing in the new format.Hmm, I have no idea what happened to it. It was there before, because I recall fixing the format. Now I see it is gone, and only a redirect is available (which redirects to itself). Maybe Sean or Homer knows what happened to it.The old page seems to be HERE...so I guess Sean will have to port it over again, then I have to make the formatting changes again... UGH. Ho-ray for the new wiki. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted May 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2013 It either never was imported or someone deleted it.

Tacbat Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 How about posting the 3.0 SEP article in the wiki? I'm pretty sure that the person who would most likely do that is a little busy right now getting things ready for the next release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooCURToo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How about posting the 3.0 SEP article in the wiki? Is it just me or does the Wiki's info for the M1A2's armor ratings appear to be a little off: Armour protection:Frontal Turret Armour: 522mm-~780mm vs KE, 896mm-1220mm vs HEAT Frontal Hull Armour: 125mm-~490mm vs KE, 285mm-910mm vs HEAT Quote from P. 102 of M1 Abrams at War by Michael Green and Greg Stewart: "The SEP turret armor upgrade is, according to some educated guesses, able to provide shaped-charge protection of almost 65 inches (1,620 millimeters) of steel armor on the front of it's turret. Protection against sabot rounds is estimated to be about 37.6 inches (940 millimeters) of steel armor. In contrast, the Russian army's T90 main battle tank turret composite armor array is about 40 inches (1,000 millimeters) RHA equivalent." (1,000mm versus sabot or shaped-charge? The book doesn't say.) On the same page the M1A1 (HA) is said to have: Shaped-charge: 1,050mm RHA Sabot: 600m RHA Just food for thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well the wiki is just a swag, but honestly, the M1A2's armor package is only a modest improvement over the M1A1HA/HC. Based on a thoroughly unscientific side by side comparison I did during my 'A2 transition long ago, there's perhaps a nominal 40mm difference in actual RHA thickness in favor of the 'A2 (about 10mm on the glacis and about 30mm on the backing plate). Granted, the internal composite composition could have changed, but there's less than a ton of weight difference between the two turrets, and most of that is taken up by the CITV, its armor cap, and the heavier electronics suite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Agreed,From memory the 'A2 is pretty much the same from a protection point of view.Its in the area of lethality due to improved C2, targeting and situational awareness that the improvements are most striking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavictoireestlavie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The M1A1 AIM and M1A2 SEP carry 3rd generation depleted Uranium armor in the frontal arc which should offer a siginifcant increase in the level of ballistic protection over the M1A1 HA models of the late 1980s and mid 1990s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 well, the M1A2 SEP is heavier than the M1A2.some weight figures:M1A1 abrams: fully loaded: 58970 kg turret: 20950 kg hull: 36250 kg empty: 57200M1A1HA: fully loaded: 61300 kg turret: 23000 kg hull: xx kg' M1A1 AIM SA: fully loaded: 63500 kg turret: 23496 kg hull: 38700 kg M1A2 abrams: fully loaded: 62100 kg turret: xx kg hull: xx kgM1A2SEP: fully loaded: 63100 kg turret: 24400 kg hull: 38700 kgso M1A2 SEP is 1.8 tonnes heavier than M1A1HA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Yes, for feeding the AA battery chargers. I've always wondered: What if the individual infantryman's laser guns of the future were run on AA batteries? 1 Battery per shot, Automatic. :eek2: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooCURToo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 From what I've read the M1A2 SEP features either the same or heavier armor than the M1A1 HA+. But beside my reading I'd be the last one to know.The SEP also features an improved level of side armor protection than its predecessors. How much improvement is not for people like me to know of course. I'll dream it to be between 900mm and 1,000mm RHA :heu:. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
