As much as I enjoy the Abrams tanks, I can't deny SEPv3's implementation is highly disappointing. Like, yay, congrats to the United States for finally achieving Leopard 2A5 levels of protection 23 years later through a 7.3 ton heavier tank, apparently...?

In this image, I compare; current SEPv3, how I would have implemented it, Leopard 2A5 and Leopard 2A7V's current iteration; just to show how even a relatively well protected SEPv3 would be far from game-breaking considering it would still not even be 2A7 or 122-level.
