Default Re: MBT-70

as only a few prototypes got built - It may not have gotten out of the mild steel prototype stage?.

Only articles I could find on it mention no thicknesses, but that it was to be layered armour (saw a mention of 2 layers so probably a simple spaced armour ?), but not of the Chobham type. That came later on the XM-1 that replaced it.
