Special Features

- Six-barreled M250 Smoke Grenade Launchers (located on the right and left sides of the turret, these will allow the tank to protect itself in a thick cloud of smoke which will also block thermal imaging, thus it MAY be able to avoid incoming heat-seeking missiles by "breaking" the Infrared Homing lock).

The M1A2 SEP also received a 3rd generation depleted uranium encased armor with graphite coating, meaning it's more than prepared for engagement with other "3rd Generation" modern MBT's (Main battle Tanks).
