The Sherman is a Sherman IIIC (M4A2 with 17 pdr). It was a trials version which underwent testing at Aberdeen and never left, later becoming a part of the exhibit. The turret bustle contains radio equipment, not ammo. ------------------ "From Halifax or Newfiejohn Or Derry's clustered towers, By trackless paths where conning towers roll, If you know another group in which You'd sooner spend your hours, You never sailed beneath the Barber Pole!" -- Escort Group C5 sailing song.

While I have no specific answers for you, it seems a good place to raise the concern that while any anti-tank team is sitting without a target they are listed as "reloading". That don't seem right. ------------------ "From Halifax or Newfiejohn Or Derry's clustered towers, By trackless paths where conning towers roll, If you know another group in which You'd sooner spend your hours, You never sailed beneath the Barber Pole!" -- Escort Group C5 sailing song.

I believe the elements of T.O.T. were the creation of Georg Bruchmüller in WW1, however it was Brig. Gen. Leslie McNair at the Gunnery Dept. at Fort Sill in the early 1940s who brought together those elements in the form of the flexible fire support doctrine which Germans feared in WW2. ------------------ "From Halifax or Newfiejohn Or Derry's clustered towers, By trackless paths where conning towers roll, If you know another group in which You'd sooner spend your hours, You never sailed beneath the Barber Pole!" -- Escort Group C5 sailing song.

Some basic math tells me a Piiru is a true mil. Based on tss's statement "300=approximately 17.5 degrees", I come up with 6171 in a circle. Smaller than the US/Nato 6400 and larger than the Russian 6000. Close enough to the 6283 true. I've been hunting high and low for over ten years for a good Silva Ranger graduated in mils -- they just can't be found on the civilian market. ------------------ "The whole of Scotland will rejoice if the commanding officer of the Canadian Army could see fit that the taking of Saint-Valery is accomplished by the Highland Division.

A mil is a one unit rise over a thousand unit run, hence the name. I haven't done trig in a few decades so I'll let someone else figure out if that is analogous to a "piiru". ------------------ "The whole of Scotland will rejoice if the commanding officer of the Canadian Army could see fit that the taking of Saint-Valery is accomplished by the Highland Division.

Hey, at least you guys are firing things that explode. My Sherman 105s fire nothing but smoke at Hetzers, regardless of how close they are.
