New M1a2 Abrams Main Battle Tank!

Recommended Posts

I think to ensure a greater cohesiveness to America's combat doctrine of the game which revolves around air based weapons, the MBT would NOT need a machine upgrade for AA since the tank should have air escorts or AA escorts. If the heavy MBT has AA capability of any sorts it will be harmful to the balance of the game. So for balance issues, I think the heavy MBT should not have AA capability in this case.

Great job i like it a lot better than the other one (It looked like the Leopard 2 tank (German), and there are two .50 cal MGs on the Abrams is used for both Anti-Air and Infantry surpression.

you sure godwin....i was thinking the top turret gunner, (not the tank commanders gun or the coaxle) was a .50 cal.....maybe im wrong i dunno, i thought it was a .50 cal with a .50 cal coaxle.....and the tank commanders is a 7.62mm.....i might be wrong so dont quote me on that.....just from most of my FPS games the top machine gun was a .50 cal

Godwin you're right there is a 7.62mm mounted COAX and then the loader gets a 7.62mm MG mounted on the top of the turret and the tank commander gets a .50 cal mounted on top of the turret.

 

Abrams_MBT is right it is a 120mm smoothbore gun (The US has used three major main tank guns since WWII the 90mm (Korea) the 105mm (Vietnam) and the 120mm (Gulf War onwards).

 

and the Avenger doesn't have a M2 it has a .50cal incorperated into the fire control system for close in targets.
