Can a tiger 1 take down an Abrams from the front?
A Tiger 1 Panzer VI Heavy tank cannot take an Abrams from the front at any distance,as it will need atleast 5–6 shots to penetrate the hull and between 7–9 shots to penetrate the turret, all shots must be fired in the same spot. An M1A2 Sep 3 can be taken out by the Tiger 1 from the rear, sides or roof much faster.
How thick is the armor on the Abrams tank?
However, because we dont know the actual thickness of its armor (classified) Im going to use its next of kin (M1A1/Chally 1). By using their armor values, this is the closest estimate we can get for the Abrams armor. 70–120mm spaced array armor, with some armor as low as 30–40mm.
Could a M1A2 survive an SS Tank Battalion?
The side armour of M1A2 is max 70mm including side panels, PzGr at even further than 4000 meters still has ~117 mm of penetration which is more than enough to go through the side skirt and hull armour. Could a M1 Abrams be able to survive an entire SS tank battalion (given enough ammo) if it were taken back in time?
Is the M1A2 SEPv3 the thinnest Abrams armor?
Well, theoretically yes but realistically no. For this comparison, I will be using the most modern Abrams variant; the M1A2 SEPv3. However, because we dont know the actual thickness of its armor (classified) Im going to use its next of kin (M1A1/Chally 1). By using their armor values, this is the closest estimate we can get for the Abrams armor.
Can a Sturmtiger kill an M1 Abrams?
In a fight, however, the Sturmtiger has a little bit of chance because the massive shells could cause a crew knockout or a mobility kill. Yes, the Sturmtiger could penetrate a weak chink in the M1 Abram’s armor but the HE shells would do little to, again, destroy an M1 Abrams.
Could a Sturmtiger shell penetrate a Abrams tank?
Yes. A Sturmtiger is basically a 380 mm mortar. The 380 mm shell simply has so much kinetic energy it will tear the welding seams of Abrams off. No penetration is needed. The Raketen-Hohladungsgranate 4582 shell could pierce 2.5 metres of reinforced concrete, though.
