Re: MBT's
Besides crunching numbers as I did on those tables as posted,2.5 is the best number I could find for strength over steel armor. We take what source/science info is available and as Don says we just have to do the best we can with it because none of us will be around when and if ever this data becomes declassified. Even with the numbers I used it was based on the average of what was given-we'll never be 100% precise with issues dealing with armor protection and ECM, these are things where there are too many variables associated with them. Things like guns and ammo are more tangible items that are easier to "guess" at because of the proliferation of data out there. Doing a search on DU armor for instance yielded a MUCH HIGHER rate of hits on DU ammo and associated health risks from them then anything to with armor protection data. Sometimes to have to think about these things like a rumor..."If there's smoke out there the truth is somewhere in between." or the less precise "If there's smoke, there must be a fire." depending in what part of the country your from.
Search for yourself you'll see what I'm talking about.
Don thank you and if I can help with the calculus let me know including crunching Prado's tables.
Time to think about work after a walk.
Regards,
Pat
