There was a story out of the UK years ago about a FV101 Avis Scorpion or something doing a speed run during mfg testing and it got up to a pretty decent speed but something happened it either the driver lost control or it threw a track.
The resulting mess was not pretty, I think afterwards the MOD required that series to be speed governed to like 45 mph. Factoid the FV100 series had rubber impregnated tracks rather than the removable rubber pads. The tracks normally aren't worn out when the rubber wears down, just can't drive it on the road anymore in the UK. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hybrid? Serious question. The History Channel like 10 years ago before it became the garbage picker channel demonstrated electric APCs that were so stinking quiet, it's amazing. Noise on the battlefield from 50 tons of squeaking metal is one thing, but that turbine engine is loud! ETA now, if only a good gun company would make the polymer 0.70" Browning action .32 ACP or .380 ACP DOA with actual night sights and configuration that fits a man's hand .like a PSM-sized. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The most awesome part of that turbine engine is proving that horsepower is the number to look at when you need to evaluate an engine's ability to do work. 73.6 tons is moved quite nicely by an engine that makes 395 ft-lbs of torque at peak which drops to 277 ft-lbs at the 30,000 rpm speed where 1500 hp is produced. I believe there is a gear box what is the torque at the tracks? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: High fuel consumption. They require a tremendous amount of air when operating and this poses problems longer term in desert/arid conditions. The fine sand particulate is sucked up and through the V-Packs and into the turbine, thus causing damage. In the case of my M1A1 in Desert Storm, total turbine destruction. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yeah, what's wrong with the turbine? The only real weakness I know of is that it consumes a lot of fuel - but being a very multi-fuel capable engine in a time where they were expecting to be retreating with supply lines that would have been getting shorter (and the ability to scrounge fuel from wherever they happened to find it), the turbine made sense. Low coolant requirements and a small size helped too. It's too bad they didn't follow through with the re-engening that got canceled with the Crusader. Same power with a lot less fuel consumption and a seamless drop-in swap. High fuel consumption. They require a tremendous amount of air when operating and this poses problems longer term in desert/arid conditions. The fine sand particulate is sucked up and through the V-Packs and into the turbine, thus causing damage. In the case of my M1A1 in Desert Storm, total turbine destruction. I’m not aware of a single Abrams in 2nd or 4th Tank Bn that suffered destroyed engines due to sand during or immediately after ODS. We removed and blew the filters out with an air want connected to another tank (“buddy system”). Even that bit of operator level PMCS has been largely if not completely eliminated with the installation of the PJAS system back in the late ‘90s. Some of you sound like the last time you read about the Abrams was during the Reagan administration. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We haven't actually built new ones in decades, they just go to Lima and get rebuilt, several times. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: A Abrams is not 10 million dollars. When I was a supply SGT my whole property book was only 64 million dollars. 14 SEP V2 tanks, 2 HMMWV, a M113 a, LMTV and a water trailer was the only big items. Everything else was cheap shit like chem detectors, radios and pistols and rifles. Tanks are pretty fucking cheap actually. Depending on the type of rebuild, the hull and turret can be stripped down to the bare hull and turret “structures” (old armor cut away and discarded, structure remachined to bring back to original dimensions) and rebuilt from the structures on up with new armor packages. Ever been inside of the turret? The interior walls of the turret are part of the turret “structure”. Completely different way of fabricating turrets and hulls compared to sand castings that were used since WW II (with a few exceptions) up until the Abrams. |

It’s not, but you know that due to your time in the turret. Lower life cycle / maintenance costs, higher reliability, more power, near zero visual signature (no black, sooty exhaust smoke like you have with Diesel engines), & very quiet. Diesel engines are complex, unreliable, noisy, smoky, underpowered in comparison and are maintenance intensive. To sum it up, they fucking suck.

We haven’t gotten to the part where a smaller turbine engine could give you room for a spare 50 rounds in the hull. Theoretically you could also shorten by a road wheel but that might fuck up the width to length ratio.

A hybrid drive system wouldn't be bad. Keep the lightweight and powerful turbine (but set it up as a generator), combine it with electric motors driving the drive wheels (which removes the need for a transmission), and add a large battery so the tank can run silent for a while if needed or use battery power in stationary positions (which removes the need for the APU and still saves tons of fuel).

Quote HistoryQuoted: RPAs are going to be doing the recon, Artillery and ATGMs doing the killing. Not always, not everywhere, but that is what has been the takeaway over the last several years. Battlefield sensing gets you much better PK than anything else. Knowing is half the battle... I completely agree, but that doesn’t mean that sound isn’t important. It can enable the enemy to locate you non line of sight and there are sensor arrays that listen also. I suspect also that a hybrid vehicle will have a smaller thermal signature, perhaps significantly so if the engine can be smaller. |

There is no way that a diesel-electric drivetrain is lighter than a turbine drivetrain.
Yes, turbines are usually used in planes, because they are so light for the power you get. Very few planes have ever used diesel engines, and not with a heavy generator/motor set to go along with the diesel. Yes, 2020 diesels now get much better fuel consumption than 1960's diesels, and so do 2020 turbines compared to 1960 turbines. BOTH are more expensive than the old versions, mostly because of the electronics used for controls and the more expensive material costs. edit to add: The New Mexico, Tennessee and Colorado class battleships built in WWI had turbo-electric propulsion; steam turbines driving generators and electric motors spinning the propellers. The system was more flexible as far as space as the electric motors didn't need to be where the steam turbines were in the middle of the ship, allowing the heavy prop shafts to be much shorter and greatly reducing vibration problems. But the system overall was heavier, and had problems with salt air getting to the motors. It was the weight of the system that caused the navy to go back to the standard steam turbine shaft drive for the later class battleships as they were built under the displacement (weight) limitations of the Washington Naval treaty and couldn't afford the heavier weight of the electric system. |

An EV would be fine if it wasn't a fuckin computer on wheels. Granted you're not gonna traverse the country side in a tank without support in the rear
But have you seen the amount of computer gear in a modern tank? Displays, weapons systems etc. It ain't your WW2 tank with nothin but a periscope Then again, modern wars with tanks aren't really traversing the countryside anymore like its the Battle of the Bulge. We have drones and reconnaissance support and the tank isn't the weapon it used to be. Unless your're in some shithole war zone you shouldn't be involved in the first place. So I can totally see an EV tank for very short battles since who the hell uses a tank anymore unless your in some shithole Ukraine war with no support . Just send in the drones these days |

In the early 1990s there was a proposal for a transverse mounted AGT-1500. Just that change was expected to free up 47-76 cubic feet. Keep in mind that a likely replacement turbine is likely to be half the size of there AGT1500 and the Kinetic EX Drive is 1520x750x830mm. I can’t find dimensions for the Allison X1100 but I suspect it’s not much different. So in theory about 100 cubic feet should be workable, or about 4 times what a late model Tahoe has in the back with the seats up. |

Assuming all of near peer adversaries are dissecting NLAWS and Javelins right now courtesy of Russia/Ukraine, and adding tweaks:
I'd probably rather ride around in a M4 Sherman with a very good active protection system designed around worse case top attack munitions than a new M1 variant that doesn't take that into account. |
