Line 41:
* For all their vaunted armor and power, Imperial armored vehicles compare oddly to present day ones. The Basilisk artillery, for example, has a stated range of about 15 km. The British present day [[AS 90]] has a range of 25 km. The Baneblade's canonical armor thickness is 200 mm. The first production run of the M1 Abrams had the eqivalent of 350 mm of armor against specifically armor piercing projectiles, and that number has nearly doubled today.
** While I'm not entirely sure, I believe the thinner armour would be cancelled out by the use of stronger / more resistant (and perhaps lighter) materials.
** Perhaps as stated above they use more advanced materials. Compare [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Baneblade#.T6z_5GbEC9U her] with the real-world German superheavy tank [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII:Panzer VIII|Maus]] (which, by the way, is -much- smaller in volume, or at least seems so).
