## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/m1a2-sep-v3.md#general-information)

Description
: The **M1A2 SEP V3** is a Main Battle Tank and a late evolution of the American [M1 Abrams](/md/rv/vehicles/m1-abrams.md) family, with the SEP (System Enhancement Package) V3 adding improved electronics, networking, and optional **Trophy** active protection. The Abrams entered service in 1980 and has been upgraded through the M1A1, M1A2, and multiple SEP variants; the V3 represents one of the most capable configurations in production. Crewed by four — driver, gunner, commander, and loader — the tracked vehicle weighs 66.8 tonnes and is powered by a **Honeywell AGT1500** gas turbine producing 1,519 horsepower for a 22.7 hp/t power-to-weight ratio and a top speed of 68 km/h.
Main armament is the stabilized **120mm M256** cannon with a laser rangefinder, fire control system with lead computation, and Gen 2 thermals (3x and 10x zoom); secondary weapons include a coaxial **7.62mm M240**, a commander **12.7mm M2** in a remote weapon station with FCS and tracking, and a loader **7.62mm M240**. The vehicle is fitted with smoke grenades and an engine smoke system.
This vehicle features four addons: **.50 Coaxial**, **Loader M134**, **M829A4** and **Trophy APS + TUSK**. The .50 Coaxial addon costs 250 points and equips the gunner with an additional 12.7mm M2, enhancing anti-infantry capabilities and foliage clearing. The Loader M134 addon costs 150 points and replaces the loader's stock 7.62mm M240 with the M134 minigun, providing a significant increase in fire rate for anti-infantry and anti-air defense. The M829A4 addon costs 750 points and upgrades the stock M829A3 with M829A4 APFSDS, granting a 50 mm increase to maximum penetration (from 610 mm to 660 mm). Finally, the Trophy APS + TUSK addon costs 750 points and installs the Trophy APS (featuring two launchers with three charges each) alongside the TUSK ERA package; this adds a single layer of ERA to the hull sides, significantly improving survivability against both HEAT rounds and ATGMs.
