      Amen! M Co, 3/2 ACR. Spent lots of time at Graf and Hohenfels. Tank Table VIII was fun, but TT XII was the best.

    Awesome live fire demo. My cousin was a Cav Scout and spent a lot of time in M-3’s. He said the M-1’s were absolutely amazing to be around.

    This makes me wonder how much destructive power would a 120mm HE round have, and also, for some reason, in some play-by-post wargame, I seemed to use MBTs as artillery (short-to-medium range field artillery to be more precise)...

    What m1a2 varient are these? Telling from how old the video is I'd assume they are SEP or SEP V2

      SEP v2, only a handful of units in U.S. Army are still using the SEP, a big number of them were upgraded to v2´s, the rest is in Armor School and lucky National Guard Units

    Why do they back up and move forward after every shot of the cannon

    • @AlekseiR
      @AlekseiR 3 роки тому +21

      They do that to back up the tank away from the Line of Sight(LOS) of the enemy . Also when they move forward to shoot, they do so being careful to remain in a "hull down" position, using the terrain to hide the body of the tank and only exposing the amount of turret strictly necessary to shoot the gun on the target. They then back up the tank hiding it completely while it reloads. The objective is minimal exposure to enemy fire because even though the armor is effective and likely not fully penetrated even in case of a hit, other equipment like optics, laser range finder or thermal viewer will get knocked out easier with mounting hits.

      Tank tactics aren’t much different from infantry tactics really. You move from cover to cover using fire to suppress the enemy fire. When in a cover position you make yourself as small as possible. When firing you expose as little of yourself as possible and then get back behind cover. It’s a combination of maximum firepower while minimizing risk.

      Best part about the tank really it makes it look rugged with lots of stuff. Various tanks have different ways of storing items but yeah basically there's no room inside for stuff.

      ??!?! Where's your tank knowledge from. Both tanks are comparable to a high degree. In the end whatever tank you have has 0 effect. In actual tank combat usually who sees each other first or gets the first shot usually wins be it mobility kill, mission kill, optic damage etc. Its all apart of the survivability onion and a Leopard, Abrams etc can be easily taken out if the crew is oblivious or it isnt supported by infantry.
