Ok, now I'm thinking of an advanced Stealth variant for the M1 Abrams. What do you say to that?

First up it will need to be quiet; So, rubber tracks & electric motor(s).

Next it will need a radar absorbing coating on the armour, which, although already mostly sloped, will need to be sloped over more of the vehicle & any long straight edges broken up.

Simultaneously, the surface of the vehicle will need to have some, as yet undiscovered, active/adaptive camouflage system, so it can blend into any terrain.

The latter two points will also need to be multi-axial, to prevent detection from ground-based & air-based enemy assets.


Have fun!

Plus, as it weighs 70 or so tons, the enemy would FEEL it coming through the soles of their boots!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model
