Better yet use them as extra armour : D
So back when I had done a lot of work on the only scaled tank I've ever attempted, I learned that the armour was waaay too thick. I found out that the armour values on modern tanks are the RHA equivalent, not the actual thickness. Any idea on how thick the armour is on modern MBTs? I know they're usually classified but even a guess would help.
It's actually not that far off. The Abrams' front turret armor is close to a meter in LOS thickness. Your hull armor is pretty good, although the lower front hull seems a bit thin.
Well my mantlet is nearly 1.5m so I guess that's good.
Are you sure about the hull? According to this the hull armour of the Abrams seems pretty thin. Nowhere near the 400mm on mine.

Not including slopes, modern armour is only like 1.31.3 te max for ke and like 2 for ce.
I have absolutely no idea what any of that means
