Thanks for the info!

No need to bother on the measurments, but thanks for offering. I'm not sure it would do much could in any case, as the only MBT-70's built we're mild steel prototypes.

I started a thread on Tanknet with my analysis of the MBT-70 protection; you can see it HERE

Very Early Calculations (may be disproved by Tanknetters)


This calculated gives us the following statistics:

Frontal Hull Protection: 253mm KE, 312mm HEAT
Side Hull Protection: 100mm KE/HEAT

Gun Mantlet Protection: 449mm KE/HEAT
Side Turret Protection: 194mm KE, 227mm HEAT
Rear Turret Protection: 63.36mm KE/HEAT

Is it just me, or does that seem to be pretty low? From what I understand, the MBT-70 was supposed to be a very heavy and very big tank. I've looked before but no source gives you a straight answer. Why is that they still haven't released the armor figures? It has to be declassified by now.
