M1A6 SEP V (Futuristic M1 Abrams Redesign)

Been playing Warthunder since 2013 or so... and I've always been frustrated by how easily the M1 Abrams series is to kill in the game, whether that is because I'm just that bad (I'm a US Main player) or there is just that much "Russian-bias" in the game... it got me thinking about how the M1 series could be upgraded or redesigned moving forward, taking into account design lessons from the Leopard IIs, Challenger II, Leclerc, T-90, and T-14 Armata design philosophies.

Initially, started out as simply buff'ing armor thickness/angling and adding applique armor, but eventually turned into a full on hull/turret redesign to eliminate several of the most vulnerable areas (weak turrent ring, unable to shoot directly behind it, and thin upper armor, especially on the crew compartment).
