And although protection value of units named "T-72M1" are identical in most OOBs, in some OOBs, (Iran, Czech, Finland) values differ.

Is this something neglected or does the CAMO team have a good reason to be convinced of current values?


Another question:

I am trying to apply this information in my SPMBT OOBs
(a new T-72M1 damage model for SB Pro. values are non-LOS values):

What would be the reasonable value to assign? (For the T-72M1 turret frontal protection)
See for examplae:
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/t72tank.htm

In other words, which variant of the T-72M1, and probably which particular nation's T-72M1 variation is likely to be significant since there is a plurality of them. Or at least the same designation is used for different builds of the thing.

You could look through the postings on this Tanknet topic as well, it may have the info you need http://208.84.116.223/forums/index.php?showtopic=14200

Or if not, then perhaps the original designer of the OOB(s) in question may happen by and be able to answer your particular question.
