has anyone made the original abrams, not the M1A1 or A2 but the old abrams with the 105mm gun and the RHS armor no DU or Chobham(spelling)
last M1 i saw was in a National Guard unit but in 85 they were probably still front line tanks
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m1.htmtis states that 1985 is when the first A1's were delivered so the originals would still be main battle tanks they would look similar except the gun would be different and the armor characteristics would be less
i guess somewhere comparable to a T72 but far better than an M60
the cannon would probably be slightly better than the M60 but not much since it seemed to be a revision of the M60 gun
