Description
Is this the prototype for the new Abrams?
Back looks almost European. lol(Or I can be very wrong). :P
Now that's one huge turret.
Yes, too much. I don't like it.
perhaps they felt the need to handicap themselver in order to provide a greater challenge for the tankmen?
its a CATTB
CATTB or Component Advanced Technology Test Bed is a experimental model with a 140 mm smoothbore gun, heavily armored turret and upgraded hull based on the M1's chassis. It had a mechanical loading system in turret bustle, a new engine and probably other upgrades, never fielded. The tank went trials in 1987-1988. Current status unknown.
That's all I could dig up about it.
the modern maus lol
