@BOSSentinel hey man, I’m trying to find someone to help me out with my build. If you have time, will you check out my “SU-52 Hammer” I just posted about 20 mins ago? I would really appreciate it, thanks!
@AviationLover12345 ALL INFO TOTALLY ACCURATE : WIKI : XM803
XM803 at the U.S. Army Armor & Cavalry Collection. Note the two return rollers, versus three on the MBT-70.
Work began on converting the existing MBT-70 design into a low-cost "austere" alternative that would use only American-made components, resulting in the visually similar XM803 prototype. Congress hoped to drive down the per-unit cost to $500,000–$600,000, saving $200,000 per tank versus the MBT-70.[30]
The largest cost savings came from a switch to a less expensive steel armor plating. An American-made engine also reduced costs. The design was slightly heavier and slower.[33] General Motors received a $16.5 million contract to develop the tank in July 1971.[34] Systems were simplified or eliminated altogether to save costs.[35] The XM150E5 gun-launcher was replaced with an XM150E6, which included a closed breech scavenging system.[36] A 24-round General Motors autoloader was installed. Ammunition capacity was increased to 50 rounds.[37] The commander's 20 mm cannon was replaced by a .50 caliber M85 machine gun.[38] The driver's escape hatch was deleted and his television, as well as those of all the other crew, were eliminated.[39] The Continental AVCR-1100-3B engine was derated to 1,250 horsepower (930 kW) at 2600 rpm and paired to a General Motors XHM-1500-2B transmission.[40] A simplified National Water Lift hydropneumatic suspension was installed. Side skirts were installed, which allowed some armor to be removed from the hull.[41] Meanwhile, the U.S. Army studied installing a gas-turbine AGT-1500 generating 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) (this was the engine that would come to power the M1 Abrams).[42]
Only one of the two pilot vehicles authorized for construction was completed.[43] In addition, a surrogate vehicle based on the components of MBT-70 pilot #4,[failed verification] the M60 and the M88 armored recovery vehicle, was constructed.[44]
These changes were ultimately insufficient to allay concerns about the tank's cost.[43] In September 1971, an amendment by Senator Thomas Eagleton was defeated that would cut $35.3 million in funding for XM803 prototype production.[45][46] but in December 1971, Congress canceled the tank in the defense appropriation bill.[47] The bill appropriated $20 million for cancelation costs and $20 million for the development of a new tank program.[48] This became the XM1 design project, which led to the production-model M1 Abrams tank.
@dekanii the iPad had no iCloud backup for simpleplanes. All local storage is in the hardware of the iPad so it is encrypted and unsalvageable unless I get a professional to (maybe) get it back
I will have to postpone either for a long time or forever. My iPad has decided that it would be happier in hell, which disables my ability to acquire my builds. The iPad is a 7th gen and is stuck in DFU mode and has no screen display. I haven’t gotten around to
Unlisting my progress since the last post, and regretfully, I cannot access the files. If anyone has any tips, please, please, please share them. The iCloud backup does not work for simpleplanes do it can’t be accessed. I’ve connected the iPad to a MacBook Pro and have failed to get any reaction outta the damn thing. The computer says it’s stuck in DFU mode. Sorry guys, this is very frustrating for me.
