The Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK) is a series of improvements to the M1 Abrams intended to improve fighting ability in urban environments. Historically, urban and other close battlefields have been poor places for tanks to fight. A tank's front armor is much stronger than that on the sides, top, or rear. In an urban environment, attacks can come from any direction, and attackers can get close enough to reliably hit weak points in the tank's armor or gain sufficient elevation to hit the top armor. Armor upgrades include reactive armor on the sides of the tank and slat armor (similar to that on the Stryker) on the rear to protect against rocket-propelled grenades and other shaped charge warheads. A Transparent Armor Gun Shield and a thermal sight system are added to the loader's top-mounted M240B 7.62 mm machine gun, and a Kongsberg Gruppen Remote Weapon Turret carrying a 12.7 mm (.50 in) caliber machine gun (again similar to that used on the Stryker) is in place of the tank commander's original 12.7 mm (.50 in) caliber machine gun mount, wherein the commander had to expose himself to fire the weapon manually. An exterior telephone allows supporting infantry to communicate with the tank commander. The TUSK system is a field-installable kit that allows tanks to be upgraded without needing to be recalled to a maintenance depot. While the reactive armor may not be needed in most situations, like those present in maneuver warfare, items like the rear slat armor, loader's gun shield, infantry phone (which saw use on Marine Corps M1A1s as early as 2003), and Kongsberg Remote Weapons Station for the 12.7 mm (.50 in) caliber machine gun will be added to the entire M1A2 fleet over time.

@SpartanBallistics I used 3 tracks, 1 set of roadwheels in the back and I make the track width 0 with the XML editor(Same with the single road wheel on the front) then for the other one is for making the track accurate by putting atleast 4-5 roadwheels through out the entire track. Here is an example on how I did it.
@Destroyere Thank you! Im thinking on working on some tanks I plan working on with unmodded tracks, Depends if I am motivated to do them, anyways thanks for the upvote!
Looks good shame I can’t get it on mobile upvoting it anyways tho
How. Did. You. Make. The. Gap. Between. The. First. And. Second. Roadwheels.
Maybe if we bug Andrew enough he’ll give us native tank track support
M1A2 Abrams kinda lookin T H I C C
@capybara clicker could simply switch the track for a wheel
I'm baffled wow
@GianDaSky maybe just replace the track to a wheel
@FirstFish83828 I honestly feel bad for you guys on mobile I really want to make anybody get to download my vehicles. But I'm trying to learn how to get good on making tanks without mods.
Oh man I’m on mobile. But I still see you put work in this upvotes
