Full Name

M1 Alteration 2 (M1A2)

Armor-System Enhancement Package v3 2017 Variant (A-SEPv3) Interchangeable-High Survivability Abrams Kits III (IC-HSAK III)

The M1 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank designed by Chrysler Defense (now General Dynamics Land Systems) and named for General Creighton Abrams. Conceived for modern armored ground warfare, it is one of the heaviest tanks in service at nearly 73.6 short tons (66.8 metric tons). It introduced several modern technologies to United States armored forces, including a multifuel turbine engine, sophisticated Chobham composite armor, a computer fire control system, separate ammunition storage in a blowout compartment, and NBC protection for crew safety. Initial models of the M1 were armed with a 105 mm M68 gun, while later variants feature a license-produced Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 designated M256.

** DISCLAIMER: "IC-HSAK III" is a completely fictional package of its own and does not reflect nonfictional packages such as the "TUSK II" package. "IC-HSAK III" is made of various aspects that were inspired by other packages such as the TUSK II, Challenger OES, & Leopard 2 PSO. **

Questions I might get

** How to use APS system? **

Its automatic, if any heatseeker missile is fired at you it will automatically fire and hopefully deter the missile. And the APS can run out of munitions but will recharge after about 5-10 seconds. An alarm is also installed to alert you of any incoming missiles.
