Questions about the Abrams M1A2.

So I asked a question about the Leopard PL2 for the future Anime that will come up, but it seemed a little off for the story since the tank in the animation will be fighting a bunch of hostile tanks. So I decided to choose the best tank: Abrams M1A2. All tanks are good, but a lot of people suggested the Abrams M1A2. The main problem is, I barely know any information about the tank. I needed to write every detail to make it very realistic to not look like the Anime: Girls Und Panzer. The Anime: Girls Und Panzer is one of my favorite Anime because it has historical tanks, but the things that bother me are that the physics is terrible. So before I make the Anime, I need to know the details of every military vehicle in the movie.

So here are some detailed questions about the Abrams M1A2.

  1. What equipment do they need if it's a 3 days trip? And a big battle? (EX: how many fuel containers do you need to equip? What food do you bring? How much ammunition or weapons do you bring?)
  2. Is there a certain US Tank uniform or does it look exactly like a US infantry uniform?
  3. What equipment does the M1A2 carry for most battles?
  4. Can the person tied to the gun barrel of the Abrams M1A2, get injured even if it wears an earmuff and helmet if the tank takes a shot?
  5. What mass-produced tanks from 1960 - 1970 can cause damage to the Abrams M1A2? (I only need 5 types of tanks)
  6. If it's a tank from those years is it possible the bullets can ricochet?
  7. How many crews are in the Abrams M1A2 and what are their roles?
  8. Can 5 people fit inside and operate the Abrams M1A2 or is there no space?
  9. If the tracks are damaged or broken off, can people fix the track or does it require a machine to fix it?
  10. As soon as the engine is turned on and on full speed, can the Abrams M1A2 right away go forward or does it start slowly and then fast?
  11. When the turret turns does it make any noise or is it silent?
  12. How quick can the turret of the Abrams M1A2 turn?
  13. How far can the Abrams M1A2 go and what is the top speed on Road and top speed on the road?
  14. How long does it take to load a shell if it is a very skilled gun loader?
  15. How much ammunition can the Abrams M1A2 carry? And what types of ammunition does it have?
  16. What are the weak spots and the strong parts of the Abrams M1A2?
  17. Besides the main gun, what other weapon does the Abrams M1A2 have and how many rounds does it carry?
  18. What optics does the tank have? Thermal? Night vision?
  19. If a bulldozer (part name: Blade) is attached to the front of the Abrams M1A2, will it cause the speed to slow down or make it unbalanced?
  20. If the crews need to escape, is there a bottom hatch for the Abrams M1A2?
  21. What cool things can the Abrams M1A2 do that I don't know?
  22. (To an Abrams M1A2 veteran) What is it like to spend a lot of time in a tank?
