IPM1 Abrams | 1.5:1 scale

The M1 Abrams (/ˈeɪbrəmz/) is a third-generation American main battle tank designed by Chrysler Defense (now General Dynamics Land Systems) and named for General Creighton Abrams. Conceived for modern armored ground warfare, it is one of the heaviest tanks in service at nearly 73.6 short tons (66.8 metric tons). It introduced several modern technologies to the United States armored forces, including a multifuel turbine engine, sophisticated Chobham composite armor, a computer fire control system, separate ammunition storage in a blowout compartment, and NBC protection for crew safety. Initial models of the M1 were armed with a 105 mm M68 gun, while later variants feature a license-produced Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 designated M256.

Specifications:

Length: 9.77 m / 32.04 ft (16 blocks) (gun forward)
7.93 m / 26.02 ft (12 blocks) (hull length)
Width: 3.66 m / 12 ft (5 blocks)
Height: 2.44 m / 8 ft (5 blocks)
Mass: 54 tonnes
Crew: 4 soldiers (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver)




The download includes a schematic (.schem) of the IPM1 (Improved Performance) in a normal configuration and a transport configuration with reversed turret. It comes in a plain green and a NATO 3-colour camo livery.

In the near future you can expect the M1A1, M1 Thumper and M1A2 to complete the series.

You may use this build for free for personal use. If you build this on a server however, or put this in an environment where other people may see it, please do give me credit. I'm not scouring the internet in search for uncredited builds of mine, so I'm doing this in good faith.


WARNING
Using Worldedit's "//perf neightbors off" command is advised before pasting the schematic into your world, because Worldedit and debug stick (which I used for this build) don't get along very well.
Using version 1.21.10 or later is advised, any earlier versions will have stuff missing.
