Re: MBT's
We did add armour increses roughly in that time period but really didn't take DU into account. I have NOT...stressing the word NOT here..... checked this theory yet but my first test will be to look back at the increases we did make and multiply by 2.5 and see how that fits with Prado's estimates. 2.5 being the estimated added density of the DU over normal armour plate steel........then I'll compare those numbers with the results that you suggest....then maybe I'll add them all up and average the whole mess and see what I get
We have from the beginning striven to be fair to all parties with these estimates because the few people who really know how what the protection levels of modern tanks are..........they aren't talking, so all we can do is go with "best guess estimates" (BGE).
