    It's the turret shape. The lower front of the turret is steeply angled, similar to the IRL Merkava Mk 1. This proved to be a shot trap, and the tirret was later revised to eliminate this weakpoint. @PINK

    Your Victoria must have the same problem, also, can you discount the gap between the turret and the hull. I can never make anything like that flush . . . IOS. @Pilotmario

    Umm, that is over 1120mm of RHA, at a decent angle with Kevlarar and graphene as well. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

    Upon Investigating this Tank. it seems a weak spot is its Front lower part. With a mine I can blow this thing apart.

    Hmm. I'm quite sure a few different tanks could take this out in one shot. seems week.

    In general, reasonably well. We don't like it, simply because it is comparable in price and ability to the M6 Ardent series. Which means it is a viable competitor. Although we can see the commander's cupola is a copy of the M6A1/A2 cupola. Not surprising since the same cupola is featured in the MBT-5, -7, and -8.

    Our main concern is the turret design; the front turret between the turret and the hull has a shot trap that could either force the round into the hull roof or into the turret ring. Either case, it can jam the turret or cause a penetration trough the hull roof.
