Re: MBT's
Well, I have a few.
The first was taken at their tank training center I would that is about 100 miles NE of Melbourne.

That picture shown looks very familiar to me as one I posted originally when they got those tanks back in 2007.

You might find the next interesting as well...

More arrive in 2008 ...

As I'm sure you noticed opening the above, you're seeing most of what I did.
So, here's my thought on the matter, I believe for a period of a year or two as the shipments arrived it is possible some retained our desert colors until painted to the AUSCAMO scheme. So is it worth it to have them in the U.S. desert camo, I don't feel it necessary to do so.
That being said, the many pictures of the current AUSCAMO scheme would definitely support a little more of the desert color. Maybe just slightly widening out what you already have.
Regards,
Pat

Two of the links I added to my previous post failed ....I have just corrected the problem but here is what you missed seeing before you posted
The ones just shipped from the States and driven off the boat don't count
The Icons above are what you will see for the Australian M1A2 SEP the final release

Re: MBT's
All three are perfect, because if you look at the actual pictures closely you can see clearly see the variance in the AUSCAMO you've duplicated with your ICONs.
Like I said, the U.S. camo was a non-starter for me personally. I just followed the information where it took me.
Regards,
Pat

Re: MBT's
And there will be revisions for the Australian winter and desert m1a1's as well
Alternate winter....... I favour a more " well used" look of late especially for winter icons.....no more pristine starched linen table cloth white battle tanks

Re: MBT's
Simply the following from the source that matters:
AUSTRAILIA/ADD/ABRAMS M1A2C EXPORT/START/APR 2025. // As already built from last year. That date based on my best guess from the following quote...
"About 130 soldiers and officers learned the ins and outs of the new battle tank before the first of 75 M1A2s begin to enter service in early next year (2025-mine) with 2 Cav Regt."
Unfortunately, the page would not allow me to " cut and paste" so a little back and forth was required.
It was also reporting on the live firing testing and quals currently ongoing. Picture showed three tanks.
Paint schemes same AUSCAMO as revised so the newer Icons are good.
One of the Senior tanker's WO 1 Bernie Maus reports "...enhancements are like going from Windows 98 to the latest operating system." Also,
"After a short burst, crews can hit targets at 2500 metres every time."
I will attempt to post the page from the paper. Again, THIS IS NOT LIKE our Army Times or any of our other branch services "Times". This is directly from their Army with the other services having their own as well.
https://www.armynewspaper.defence.go...4/flipbook/10/
(IT WORKS!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS.)
Regards,
Pat

Now that's a proper name for a tanker

Re: MBT's
Only might've been better if it was Bernie "Von" Maus!?!
Had to go back to make sure I had that right, just not what I expected but I agree, it certainly is a " proper" tankers name.
Regards,
Pat

Re: MBT's
All I will say about the next video is it reminded me of the SHERMAN vs. PANTHER or TIGER. By that I simply mean they were much more reliable, faster, maneuverable and generally outnumbered them on the battlefield. The last though probably does count for less overall concerning the video.
Enjoy!
