***-protection ain't that hot for any MBT, if there is a door there or not, you're pretty much toast if you let them shoot you up the rear.

I'm not a specialist but the turret seems to be a good "shell trap", I mean when a shell did hit the tank on the top hull or end of the turret, he can slide and hit at the jointing point of the turret and the hull. That's not good, german had this problem with the Panther A during WW2 and added in D a little steel protection over the hull. This is the same problem with Leopard, but Challenger and M1A2 don't have this problem...

Long-rod penetrators doesn't really richochet, its not really a problem having "shot traps" against APFSDS.
