I’ll always remember the first time I saw an M1 Abrams. I was standing on top of hill at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and it came flying up not three feet from me. It was amazing how quiet the damn thing was. For its size you expect them to be louder.
And then of course there is its load out. This looks cool but doesn’t really do it justice. If you have a platoon of tanks all popping smoke they basically blot out their view behind the smoke. I’m not sure what the dark smoke is below, I only ever saw white which also had some agent in it to block thermal imaging.
