Default Re: OOB 024 -- US Army -- M1A2 Abrams
Speaking of Abrams, why does it have one of the highest top armor values in the game, even higher than tanks for which top protection was an important consideration like the Strv 122 or the Merkava IV ? As far as I know the top turret armor is around 40mm RHA, while the top glacis is around 60-80mm. Yet for example unit 24 (M1A2), OOB 12, has 10 and 20 as top armor, while the Strv 122 (unit 31 OOB 66) has 8 and 16. Was it due to game mechanics?
