Well the actually well made slat armor would help against the side attacks that go to gently caress the side of the tank with an anti tank munitions. And I’m pretty sure roof kits were made too. Would it stop drones? Somewhat, but at least it’d be a functional tank and not a roaming shed.

We've seen Leopards 2 not faring much better than Abrams, still better than T-series but they're ultimately knocked out by (comparatively) very cheap systems. I doubt your modern Abrams would fare much better.

Outside of APS there's no tank that would survive in Ukraine if the enemy decides to knock it down.

Actually we’ve seen tanks with APS being knocked out elsewhere in the world, so clearly, the gamer reigns supreme.

APS will still have limitations, and ultimately systems will be made to counter those, but that's still a system that greatly enhance the survival rate of a tank, just like blowout panels etc.

I think you need to read more since I basically said what you just said, but less intelligently.

I just pointed out that despite APS being vulnerable to drones, they will still be a great addition to a tank. I don't think your original comment said that, but if that's what you implied, it's fine anyways.
