Also he said they used to hit beer cans @ 600 meters with the 120mm it was so accurate he also said he saw a test where they penned 3/4 on a 250mm Plate at 600 meters, but the US Army`s Pen Numbers were at the range you hit 4 for 4 but he says the 221mm is crap.
So sounds like me it should handle like a Panther In game except better dime turning, have 230ish Hull Armor, with sides of 170mm with rear of 100ish
Turret should be Impenetrable from front [except gun] with 190 sides and a huge chance for gun to be taken out from back...More than other tanks.
Id think a .32 Accuracy with a 280mm Pen and 400@7.7-8 ROf Gun is fair [3k DPM] and a -10 Depression with extra 4 degrees but while shooting that far down can receive 3x more chance of gun dmg, since you could handcrank depression for emergencies because gun was taken out of tank by Depressing it to the max and pulling it off with a crane after removing 6 very strong 3 inch dowel/Bolt style pins, so if you went to low and fired the turret wasnt absorbing shock but only the 6 Pins and once they were bent it didnt/couldnt shoot straight.
50 tons @840 HP.
This sound like alot somewhat but it is gonna be US`s bread and butter and hey i twas this good, and it by far has weakspots that it needs to get punished for harshly if hit in.
Sorry my spelling my hands are tired but I wanted you all to read what a real expert who was at its birth thinks.
+1 if you like it comment and telling what you think
Ill probably start a new thread with this info.
He is 86 I think and Im picking his brain since he had the job of testing ours and enemies tanks to fight communists for along time including being on M103 Project an M60 and Early Abrams, also he was one who consulted on T110.
So in my mind we should get a very evenly Armored larger M46 with a 120mm gun that is 20% slower in Accel and a speed of 42 on flat ground, but it for sure should be a super Medium/MBT
