We also know that by weight nanoalloys are something like ~3x more effective than RHA

The type-10s armor was a weight-saving measure only, as main island nip bridges fold like buildings in Hiroshima

NERA has been 3,5 times as effective as RHA by weight since the 80s

The Type-10 is also built to be completely modular, so its armor is far higher than the base weight.

everything's modular if you try hard enough

all they did was make the base armor bolted on instead of welded

No, the armor is literally modular. They transport it at like 35 tons, and they can shove something like another 20 tons of armor on it as needed.

so you don't have to cut to change it

It's built like an M8 but not retarded

again- the only thing modular about it is the ease of mounting

and even the heaviest package is only like 8 tonnes

the Abrams armor weighs close to 20

evidence suggest the Type-10 is barely (if at all) more armored than the Type-90

For a 35-45 ton tank? Oh my, how terrible.

it just had to go under ~50 tonnes because bridges can't handle more

it wasn't even meant to replace the 90

but the 74s

which are 60s tech

Oh, and what about AMAP 4th gen panels being multi-hit rated against KE and CE penetrators.

Also nanoalloy based

AMAP is ceramic-based, yes

Not just carbon cermaics, but THS and the like as well

but there's no evidence AMAP alone can handle 800mm+ KE warheads

Well that's what it was tested and rated multi-hit for, so whatever dude.

Unless you're implying they'd test a next-gen armor kit against outdated penetrators and threats

AMAPs only use on tanks are on the Leopard 2 Evolution

which conveniently places it on top of NERA-based Leopard 2 armor

same on the PUMA IFV

Oh fuck I forgot the Puma was a thing

Puma is kraut space magic

Its gun sounds like a blaster

*Still no ATGMs because budget cuts*

Bruh what even is that fucking turbolaser gun

>sounds a blaster

Literally has a laser weapon

LASER WEAPON

It'll be some boring electric system, but it sounds deadly

I have no fucking clue what that means

Imagine hiding in a foxhole and hearing that above your head

Electric recoil dampening or something
