Re: [High-Tech] Military Equipment: Global War on Terror edition
And now for the moment we've all been waiting for...
M1 Abrams Cribbing from an old thread: TL: 8 Vehicle: M1 Abrams ST/HP: 200 Hnd/SR: -3/5 HT: 10 Move: 1/20 LWt: 65 tons Load: 2 tons SM: +4 Occ: 4 DR: 1680 Range: 275 miles Cost: $4,300,000 Locations: 2CTX Listed DR is going to be for the front hull. Vehicles 3e gives breaks down the armor as follows: Front hull: DR 1,680. Rear/side hull: DR 140. Top/underbody: DR 90 Front turret: DR 1,500. Rear/side turret: DR 200. Top turret: DR 120 Tracks Armor: DR 30; armor skirts provide an extra DR 70. Armor on the front, rear, and sides, is laminate; double DR vs. shaped charges. This has been debate elsewhere, but my take is that in game terms the M1's gun appears to be very close to the T-72's. In addition, the M1 mounts an M2HB machine gun and two M240 machine guns.

Re: [High-Tech] Military Equipment: Global War on Terror edition
Just an aside - the A-10 has a titanium "bathtub" around the cockpit, which was designed and tested to stand up to 23mm autocannon rounds. That's about DR75 for the pilot/cockpit from the sides or below.

Re: [High-Tech] Military Equipment: Global War on Terror edition
Another vehicle stated out with some help from Vehicles 3e
AV-8B Harrier II ST/HP: 87 Hnd/SR: +3/4 HT: 12f Move: 7/336 SM: +5 Occ: 1SP DR: 7 Range: 2,100 Loc.: g3WWi Stall: 25 It's armed with the same GAU-12 as the AC-130. Other weapns include the 70mm Hydra, Sidewinders, AIM-120s (which as noted in a previous post I'm extremely unsure how to deal with), the AGM-84 Harpoon, and the AGM-88 HARM. The Harpoon is a 34 cm anti-ship missile based on high explosives. This makes it the first case where rule of using cube-root damage for explosives over 100 lbs. TNT becomes relevant. Because I favor that rule, the Harpoon should be something like 6dx27 [6dx3] cr ex. with a range of something like 268/140,000. Using the same Acc 4 for the Sidewinder is probably fine, though it's unclear what makes the most sense at such extreme ranges. The HARM appears to be designed for taking out radar stations. Possibly ABF, if so then like the AIM-120 I'm unsure how to handle it. |

Apache Helicopter

Hellfire Missiles: 6dx18(10) + linked 6dx6 [9d]. Minimum range 475/8,800. Can also be armed with 70mm Hydra rockets and Stinger missiles. |

Re: [High-Tech] Military Equipment: Global War on Terror edition
The unofficial Vehicle collection has stats for things like the A-10 (that look more reasonable than the ones you have on the base idea given that the A-10 is supposed to be rugged build), AH-64D Apache and weapons like the GAU-8/A and the short 30mm gun for the Apache along with Hellfire missiles.

Re: [High-Tech] Military Equipment: Global War on Terror edition
I think this is a fairly standard feature of combat aircraft—existing canonical write-ups omit it, so I'm doing so as well, but sure, it's worth noting.
