US evaluation of T34-76 in 1942

[gyrene81]

Nice slab sides on the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2.

No modern tank that I know of uses coil springs in its suspension.

Side skirt armore is not slab sides. Abrams and Leopard II have a very low profile and sloped composite armor.

If you're talking about the christie suspension system it's a little more complex than "springs" but you are right, modern tanks don't use it...because the christie suspension is too fragile for a 45ton to 67ton tank that can travel ~40mph off road. 



Nice try though.

Where is the sloped side armour?

Where is the sloped side armour?

Low profile hull, large turret...guess where the sloped side armor is. High tech composite armor is also used, all over the tank. Weakest spot is on top of the turret.
