History

• M1 Abrams
• IPM1 Danger Zone

M1 Abrams

Class: Main Battle Tank
Developed: 1972-1975
Service: 1979-1990s
Vehicles Built: 3273
Operators: USA

The Abrams Main Battle Tank is the current service MBT of the U.S. Army and several other countries. It was developed in the 1970s to replace the aging Patton series in American service. Unlike the failed MBT-70 project, the downfall of which was the widespread use of experimental technologies along with an extremely high price tag, the Abrams was designed to use modern but affordable and reliable components. What made it different from the Patton series was the use of Chobham composite armor and a gas turbine for propulsion, earning it the nickname "Whispering Death".

This is the initial production model, known as the M1. It was produced between 1979 and 1985 in Lima, Ohio and in Detroit, Michigan. This version was still armed with the M68A1 rifled cannon and all the produced vehicles went to the U.S. Army. In 1984, the production was briefly replaced by an interim model called M1IP, before fully switching to the upgraded M1A1. The service M1s were stationed in West Germany and were gradually upgraded in the 1990s to the M1A1 (and later M1A2 standard).

IPM1 Danger Zone

Class: Main Battle Tank
Developed: 1972-1975
Service: 1979-1990s
Vehicles Built: 3273
Operators: USA

The "Danger Zone" was an IPM1 Abrams participating in (and winning) the 1987 Canadian Army Trophy that took place in the Bergen-Hohne training area. It belonged to Company D of the 4th Squadron, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Division in West Germany. It used a stylized version of the "Bill the Cat" cartoon as its emblem, which was an inside poke at one of its rivals, 3-64 Armor, who had been using the comic-strip cat Garfield as its mascot. Another major emblem was the "Spearhead" belonging to the 3rd Armored Division, located at the back of the turret. The flags on the vehicle were eventspecific and were not used in regular service. The Canadian flag was in recognition of the close training between the team and the Royal Canadian Dragoons. And, last but not least, the name "Danger Zone" came from a popular song from the Top Gun movie.

Vehicle Traits

• Armored: This vehicle's armor can withstand a lot of punishment, allowing it to survive even serious firefights.
• HESH Rounds: This vehicle can fire special Squash Head rounds. These are extremely effective against angled armor that is typical for Soviet tanks.
• Gas Turbine: This vehicle is powered by a gas turbine, providing smoother acceleration compared to an ordinary diesel.

Armor

M1 Abrams Stock Armor

XP Cost	Credit Cost	Hull Armor	Hull Composition	Turret Armor	Turret Composition	ERA Name	ERA Penetration Reduction
Stock	Stock	650 mm (vs AP) 905 mm (vs HEAT)	Composite	765 mm (vs AP) 1440 mm (vs HEAT)	Steel Layers with Air Gaps	N/A	N/A vs AP N/A vs HEAT
Like the Challenger 1, the original M1 was among the first to use high-end composites on the frontal arc of the vehicle, offering extensive protection against both HEAT and kinetic charges at the cost of weight, cost, and complexity. Although only intended for frontal assaults, it offers a solid blend of defense, power, and speed on the modern battlefield.

This MBT's front is protected by composite armor. Composite armor consists of combined layers of steel and other material and offers excellent protection against HEAT shells and ATGMs. Its steel sides and rear are considerably more vulnerable.
