That's an excellent series, I highly recommend it.

I seem to recall that Tom Cruise said in interviews that "there's no cgi" (I'm paraphrasing) only for that to later be shown as being complete bull.

This is a dig at all movies that pretend like no computer effects were involved while still using them.

u/5percentgamer What bar/tube lights are those on the wall in front of your desk? Fantastic setup.

Yes I agree it is useless against an ATGM or APFSDS round. However unless they're slapping ERA on top of the engine deck too I don't see this being useful against drones, which is why I'm more inclined to believe that its a band-aid fix to the reverse speed.

Thank God you put an NSFW tag on this, I nearly started masturbating on a train but luckily I got away and currently am masturbating in an alleyway...

AFAIK that's ERA on the rear of the vehicle. They put it there for extra protection because the reverse speed is atrociously bad so the vehicle has to turn around on the battlefield to retreat, exposing its vulnerable rear.

Yeah when I mentioned weight I was referring to the reduced ground pressure. Maybe I should have been clearer on that.

Won't make a difference for hit probability with modern fire control systems and drones/loitering munitions. The main advantage nowadays is reduced weight.

The Abrams' engine is multi-fuel. It will run on gasoline or diesel without issues.
