    • @Ugimara-Imokrasa
      @Ugimara-Imokrasa  2 роки тому +10

      Everything up until the stick part is true. For the most part. That would require the turret crew to turn the turret completely to face the back of the tank to then open the swing gate and poke the driver. Just seems impractical. Never happened to me. I can't speak for others.
