The tank M1128 is capable of firing M900 APFSDS anti-tank shells, M456A2 HEAT anti-tank and anti-infantry shells, M394A3 HEP (also known as HESH) shells for destroying bunkers, and M1040 canned shells for anti-infantry missions.
The gunner had a single hatch with three M27 day periscopes. He can also use a rooftop day/thermal aiming system with a laser rangefinder. The captain's one-piece hatch has six M27 daytime periscopes, and on the production vehicle there is also a panoramic observer with daytime and thermal capabilities. As a backup of the main winner's line of sight, a daytime sight with x7 magnification was provided to gunners and commanders.
The 7.62 mm machine gun was coaxially located on the left side of the main gun. In addition, commanders can use a 12.7 mm machine gun. On the pre-production unit, the 0.50 cal machine gun is mounted on the pivot, but on the slide rail of the production vehicle. Smoke grenade launchers are mounted on each side of the turret, in number and location depending on the model (prototype, pre-production or production). The production version has two rows of four smoke grenades on the left (gunner) side and a set of four smoke grenades on the right (commander) side, for a total of 12 smoke grenades.
The main gun and coaxial machine gun were completely stable, as were the gunners' and commander's sights. The General Dynamics fire control computer is used as a fire control system (FCS).
The M1128 uses welded steel armor and comes standard with a layer of ceramic appliquéd armor bolted to the outside. A small padding is installed in a specific area of the interior to minimize damage caused by penetration.
Armor packs composed of slats, also known as strip armor, can be installed. This prematurely detonated rocket-propelled grenades, preventing penetration. To further enhance protection, composite screens can be added to protect the wheels.
The power unit is located at the front of the hull, to the right of the driver. It consists of a Caterpillar 3126A diesel engine (capable of producing 350 hp) and an Allison MD 3560 P automatic transmission. The transmission has six forward gears and one reverse gear. The top speed is 100 km/h and the range is 530 km/h.
In World of Tanks, a real-time battle game that has taken the world by storm, this tank is definitely a powerful weapon for combat.
At present, "World of Tanks" is also undergoing innovation, updating the new version, optimizing and upgrading the interface to enhance the experience of the experience officer, and the expected Steel Hunter mode is also about to open, from which gamers can experience the new core gameplay mechanism and reap rewards.
And just recently, World of Tanks is about to launch a special welfare campaign - the "Daily Selection" benefit! From 1 December 2021 14:00 to 14:00 on January 1, 2022, World of Tanks launches a traditional daily selection event to bring you exclusive offers.
What's more, following the special protagonist of last year's "World of Tanks" holiday operation, that is, Chuck Norris, the "Spring Brother of the United States" who fought against Bruce Lee, this year's holiday operation has ushered in a heavyweight guest: the well-known "Terminator", Arnold Schwarzenegger!
The details of the event are known, but it can be guessed that the player will place the unique member of Operation Holiday, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the position of captain, although Arnold Schwarzenegger was not the captain of the car when he was young, but the tank driver.
Captains in front of the screen, if you also want to drive a tank with Arnold Schwarzenegger, come and join us!
