The '''{{Specs|name}}''', or just '''{{Specs|pseudonym}}''', is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} American medium tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.81 "The Valkyries"]].
  
−
[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left|]]
+
The tank does not differ much from the [[M1 Abrams]]. The main difference is added NERA in the turret cheeks which makes the turret slight longer. The IPM1 was never deployed in war.
−
{{break}}
 
−
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} Russian bomber {{Battle-rating}}. This aircraft has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.

=== In-game description ===
 
−
"In the autumn of 1940, the SB-2M-105 variant was launched into full-scale production, equipped with 1,100 hp Klimov M-105 twelve-cylinder, V-shaped, water-cooled engines and VISh-22Ye propellers.
 
−
 
 
−
Planes of this modification were equipped with MV-3 turrets and LU hatch mounts, and they included all of the improvements which had been applied to machines of previous variants, now implemented to the fullest extent. In particular, landing headlights and cradles for the retractable ski landing gear were mounted.
 
−
 
 
−
Some SB 2M-105 aircraft had a new type of glazing on the pilot's cockpit's sliding canopy to improve visibility during landing and taxiing around the airfield.
 
−
 
 
−
A total of 6,831 SBs were produced in all versions, including about 150 SB 2M-105s, until their production ended in early 1941. The SB bomber was the first Soviet aircraft whose licensed production was organized abroad. 110 planes designated B.71 were built in Czechoslovakia.
 
−
 
 
−
In addition to the USSR, SB bombers were in service with Spain, China, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Germany, Slovakia, and Finland.
 
−
 
 
−
After their combat debut in Spain, SBs came to be used in China from February 1938 onward. Bombers of this type participated in the Battles of Lake Khasan and Khalkhyn Gol. They were used in combat operations against Poland in September 1939 and in the war with Finland in the winter of 1939-40. When World War II began, the SB was the most popular Soviet bomber. They were extensively operated as day and night bombers, as well as scout planes, on the Soviet-German front until late 1943. They took part in the war with Japan in the Far East in August 1945.
 
−
 
 
−
The Chinese Air Force used SBs until the end of World War II, as well as during the course of China's Civil War. Czechoslovakian B.71 planes were obtained by Germans and used as auxiliary and training vehicles. Bulgarian planes participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941.
 
−
 
 
−
The Finns had about 20 captured SB bombers of various versions, mainly SB 2M-103s, which they used as scouts and anti-submarine warfare patrol aircraft.
 
−
 
 
−
The SB aircraft were withdrawn from service with the USSR in 1946."

Description

GarageImage IPM1.jpg


The Tank, Combat, Full Tracked, 105-mm Gun IPM1, or just IPM1, is a Rank VII American medium tank with a battle rating of 11.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.81 "The Valkyries".

The tank does not differ much from the M1 Abrams. The main difference is added NERA in the turret cheeks which makes the turret slight longer. The IPM1 was never deployed in war.

General info

Survivability and armour

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?

If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Mobility

Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability as well as the maximum speed forward and backward.

Armaments

Main armament

Main article: M68A1 (105 mm)

Like its predecessor, the IPM1 is equipped with a reliable 105 mm M68A1 cannon, and also has access to the same ammunition.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 800 mm of NERA in the turret cheeks is enough to stop any chemical round in the game
  • Has a very fast reload (6.5 sec when stock)
  • Fast reverse speed

Cons:

  • Armour won't stop most APFSDS rounds fired from encountered enemies
  • The stock M735 shell does not reliably penetrate the tank's opponents
  • Extra armour slows it down

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
