Misc. Icons and Pics

[MarkSheppard]

I've been working on a SP Icon Database once again, and I took the time to add to PlasmaKrab's old M8 Buford AGS set by:

Adding a Winter Icon for it.

Adding a Level 3 Armor Icon Set for it (Level II Armor is pretty much indistinguishable from Level I at the scale of SP Icons)

Doing good LBMs for all three levels of armor (I/II/III).

Next thing:

Calculate protection from known constraints (size of vehicle and mass/performance levels)

Level I against splinters (18,052 kg combat weight) -- base aluminium armor

Level II against armor piercing small arms and small cannon fire (20,820 kg combat weight) -- titanium applique plates.

Level III against cannon up to 30mm (23,586 kg combat weight) -- ERA + Spaced Armor Modules?

A long time ago, someone (I didn't save who), did a mod of the XM-60 Silaceous Cored Armor prototype.

Recently a declassified paper on it has shown up on DTIC here:

And it includes results of test firings.
