I'm just curious, as a machinist, and having several friends who are military
and some were tankers...
I don't see how these numbers add upto a working tank.

It looks like you just copied some stuff out of other posts, what kind
of research did you do before starting this?

Only a quarter of an inch thick? That wouldn't be enough to support the
weight of the vehicle.
It wouldn't even stop the AP rounds from a Barrett .50cal rifle.
let alone any of the Anti-material Rifles which are made to kill vehicles
much more heavily armored than this.

I'm sorry I don't see it working.

I just wanted to get the daily E-mail
