	Halfbakery: Low density hetrogenous tank armour
		Missiles can now try and attack where the armour is weakest, and variously punch, blast, burn and melt their way through.
		Although the density of the armour is low on average, it is heterogenous, meaning that it varies.
		The bigger the tank, the lower the surface area:internal volume ratio.

	Tank
		Tanks were first used in combat at the Battle of the Somme on September 15 1916.
		Paradoxically, a tank is usually in its safest state when the commander is in a personally unsafe position, riding in the open, head out of the turret, with no personal protection save his helmet and a flack jacket.
		Since an immobilized tank is an easy target for mortarss, artillery, and the specialized tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is seized upon to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and on railways instead of under their own power.

		Experimentation with tank sizes reached its logical conclusion during the war, with the rather impractical German 188-tonne Maus, of which only two were ever built and never saw combat, and the 1000-tonne Ratte, of which none were ever completed.
		Tank periscopes and other viewing devices give a sharply inferior field of vision and sense of the countryside, despite constant advances in optics and electronics.

		Tanks were first used in World War I, to break the deadlock of the trenches, and they evolved to take the role of cavalry on the battlefield.
		Since an immobilised tank is an easy target for mortars, artillery, and the specialised tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is used upon to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and by railway instead of under their own power.
		Fuel tanks are commonly placed at the rear of the tank, though in some designs, such as the Israeli Merkava, the diesel fuel tanks are placed around the crew area to provide an additional layer of "armour".

		The name "tank" first arose in British factories making the casings of the first battle tanks: the workmen were given the impression they were constructing tracked water containers for the British army in Mesopotamia.
		Tanks have subsequently undergone many generations of design evolution and are now a fairly mature technology, but significant improvements continue to be made in tank subsystems.
		Paradoxically, a tank is usually in its safest state when the commander is in a personally unsafe position, riding in the open, head out of the turret, with no personal protection save his helmet and a flak jacket.

		The name "tank" first arose in British factories making the casings of the first battle tanks: the workmen were given the impression they were constructing tracked water containers for the British Army, hence keeping the production of a fighting vehicle in secret.
		As their tanks will rarely be away from support and repair units, less emphasis is placed on the crew's ability to maintain the tank themselves or to continue fighting it once damage has been sustained.
		Tank guns have fired many types of rounds, but their current use is commonly limited to kinetic energy (KE) penetrators and high explosive (HE) rounds.

	Tank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		As the amount of armour on the battlefield increased the chance of running into a tank grew to the point where every vehicle had to be an effective anti-tank vehicle as well.
		These medium weight tanks had come to be known as Main Battle Tanks, in reflection of their role, and would become the heaviest fielded direct fire weapons with the end of heavy tanks (which are also still called MBTs sometimes).
		Since an immobilised tank is an easy target for mortar (weapon)mortars, artillery, and the specialised tank hunting units of the enemy forces, speed is normally kept to a minimum, and every opportunity is used upon to move tanks on wheeled tank transporters and by railway instead of under their own power.

	Tank - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		Later tanks became more reliable, had more powerful engines, and were adapted to the first anti-tank weapons, such as German armour-piercing bullets.
		The result was the concept of the main battle tank, a single design that would make up the vast majority of the armoured forces and be used like the last generation of medium and cruiser tanks, and in the same roles, but now the heaviest tank accommodated by a armies support system.
		Fuel tanks are commonly placed at the rear of the tank, though in some designs, such as the Israeli Merkava, the diesel fuel tanks are placed around the crew area.

	KV Tanks
		As the German Army threatened to overrun the Kharkov Tank Factory in the autumn of 1941, the factory was moved east and reassembled at Nizhni-Tagil.
		The new turret was mounted with an 85mm gun and the armour thickness was increased to 110mm on the front and 90mm on the turret.
		It is a matter of life or death for the tank to avoid the deadly effect of enemy fire by being able to move quickly from one fire-position to another.

	DEPLETED URANIUM - FAQs - Jane's Defence News
		It is used to penetrate the armour of modern, the residual penetrator (and the high temperature fragments created as it passes through the armour) striking everything inside the tank and setting fire to its fuel and ammunition.
		The armour design modification to the M1A1 incorporates steel-encased depleted uranium which is two and a half times the density of steel and is already used in a broad spectrum of civilian applications.
		Once the armour has been perforated, that part of the penetrator which has not melted, together with the molten armour and fragments that break away from the interior, ricochet inside the vehicle.

	Tank
		For secrecy and not to arouse any curiosity the crates and the tanks themselves were then each labeled with a destination in Russian for Petrograd.
		In fact the tanks were never shipped in crates: the inscription in Russian was applied on the hull for their transport from the factory to the first training centre at Thetford.
		For example, flame tanks use flame thrower with the purpose of destroying fortifications, vegetation and infantry.

	Review: Kyosho Pocket Armour Panther A radio controlled model tank
		Most cheap models of tanks like the Panther don't bother with full road wheels, because there are three overlapping ranks of wheels, and the inner ones can't be seen unless you're peering under the model.
		Kyosho don't quote the scale of their Pocket Armour tanks on the Japanese-language page about them here (you can plug the URL into BabelFish for a somewhat hilarious translation), but just going by the measurements, this is about a 1/56th scale model.
		The rotating road wheels on the "High Grade" Pocket Armour tanks are options on the other ones, but Kyosho, being a serious Japanese model company with a large audience of arguably quite disturbed people, has a couple of other bits and pieces you can add.

	Mitsubishi Projects: Gen I Fuel tank Armour
		This was the deciding factor for new tank armour - the Rubicon left its mark!
		Whenever doing work near the fuel tank, be sure to have adequate ventilation, and fire extinuishers close by, in the event of a mishap.
		To install the new protector, prop up the fuel tank by supporting it on either side, up against the tank flange where it's closest to the wheels.

	Electric Tank Armour [Archive] - Halflife2.net
		In a recent demonstration of the electric armour for senior Army officers, an APC protected by the new British system survived repeated attacks by rocket-propelled grenades that would normally have destroyed it several times over.
		Even if the tank had enough power to generate this in a very short instant, it is very unlikely it can do it without damaging itself.
		The distance between the plates and the tank or the ground has to be longer than the distance between the two plates.

	Battlefront.com Discussion Forums: Penetration of guns against armour
		AIUI Russian armour plate was somewhat different in makeup and properties than Western allies plate.
		And these numbers were changed because, IIRC, the type of armor used on US tanks had a different hardness than the type used on soviet tanks, and the number in the info box reflected the penetration vs. the most common armor that would be faced.
		The russian tank armour is thin compared to the abrams.
