M1 Abrams in GURPS 4/e terms? Stats? Anyone done this?
Okay , I did a quick search on the word 'tanks' - and didn't see much discussed in the GURPS section here.
Already looked in both CAMPAIGNs and HIGHT TECH - and I can't find 4/e GURPS stats for an M1 A2 Abrams tank. Anyone taken a stab at this in the past 4 years? How close is that vehicle thing? (pdf or real book?) Okay, and a couple of other questions....: What would happen if a modern day ABRAMS tank drove straight through a m,aifestation of the Banestorm - right in the middle of a battle and winds up on Yrth in the middle of a battle between a bunch of Orcs and soldiers, Knights from Caithness?? Or same story, but it drives right into a conflict/skirmish between Megalans and Al-Hazi or Al Wazif troops? Could an Abrams tank be coverted into a crosstime conveyor in the INFINITE WORLDS/Homeline setting? - Ed

I'm sorta annoyed by this as well; when I looked at High-Tech, I was expecting a bit more modern tanks... but the most recent they have is the T-72.
Is there ever going to be a supplement that gives us a few more TL8 things? |

And then I'd go to http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...d/m1-intro.htm to get all the unclassified performance pieces other than armor and weaponry.

TL: 8 Vehicle: M1 Abrams ST/HP: 200 Hnd/SR: -3/5 HT: 10 <-- standard for 4e vehicles, possible generous for a tank Move: 1/20 LWt: 65 tons Load: 2 tons SM: +4 <-- on the boundary between +4 and +5, so I gave it +4 because of its sleek and stealthy design (well, for a tank) Occ: 4 DR: 1650 Range: 275 miles Cost: $4,300,000 Locations: 2CTX Most of the Abrams use a 120-mm. gun, so I would just use the Russian 125-mm. one from High-Tech as a baseline, using the depleted uranium rounds described on p. 141, but tweak for things like range and ROF.

I have my own wish-list for vehicles that appear in various games (Aftermath, Morrow Project, Twilight 2000) with adventures that I want to convert. I'm probably going to crib the stats from them when I have the time.
