As far as monolithic steel that M48 starship is about as good as its possible to get in terms of armor design, in terms of frontal protection per ton.

They did the math on installing the XM150 (from MBT-70), 105mm M68, the Bri'ish 120mm L11, and the hilarious T123E6.
Installing the M68 required honestly little work
And as we know, it worked just fine - they tested it in Sheridan. (The mount & gun are shared between starship and sheridan)

With 478m/s
spring briar
I was wondering what penned 1.3m of armor
Ironclads could pen over a meter of wrought iron in the mid - late 1870's
just sayin
spring briar
as you can see
the paixhan gun projectile didn't penetrate all the way
but had an explosive charge
which would detonate the shell and destroy the wood it was lodged in
spiral cedar
Ah, so holing limit basically
spring briar
causing huge structural damage and splinter fragmentation
yes
ofc, ships were not 2m thick
usually only around 1 meter
but as they would be shooting from a longer distance or at an angle they might still get lodged in
but often just penetrate and detonate inside like a modern shell
The Russians had used these paixhan guns against the ottomans at sinop to devestating effect
and a while after the crimea war (britain, france and the ottomans vs russia) broke out
France knew well that Russia had been the first after themselves to implement the paixhan
so they needed something that would protect their ships
hence france built those floating ironclad batteries
because the paixhan still used round projectiles with a sabot
the iron armor would completely stop the shells and shatter them
thus winning the alliance a great victory at Kinburn
and from this point onwards the big armor vs gun race was really started
pallister shot would easily go through the wrought iron armor
so compound armor was made
etc
you know the drill
the race is still going on
but the shell is of course winning as it should

Plus it's due to the survivability rate of the a-10 its self is the reason why Estonia brought 100 of them

Since 2001, the A-10 has been involved in four friendly fire incidents that killed 10 U.S. troops. The next highest is the B-1B bomber, which killed five soldiers last year in one incident. Friendly fire deaths are exceptionally rare. There have been 45 total friendly fire incidents out of about 140,000 missions flown by the Air Force, Navy and Marines.
when a single plane is 10% of all incidents
that's not good

Scimitar not warrior btw

it was outdated for CAS when it went into service in a peer vs peer scenario but it was generally fine enough for the third world garbage it was bombing so it stayed in service forever anyway because the cold war didnt go hot

Scimitar not warrior btw

The a10 is just popularized because it’s loud, slow and big
strong plank
two scimitars and 2 spartans from what I'm reading
maiden citrus
the world has moved on to so much automation that the a-10 is not worth it as a platform
frigid karma
Thus perfect for movies and media
strong plank
the A10's also popular bc of how it dives in to attack
thus the troops see what's helping them
frigid karma
And its presence in the Middle East has made servicemen defend it even when it’s not the best option
