A great source for Abrams action is the book "Thunder Run." It highlights the problems tank crews had with maintenance and tells of how platoons would go into battle at half strength because filters had to be changed, or sparkplugs cleaned, or whatnot. It also tells of how tanks could weather small arms and RPGs all day without serious damage but the crew's gear would be gone or shredded beyond use because of its exposure to the enemy fire.
I feel I can at least pretend to be an expert on the subject.

"Last Citadelle", or something. Not entirely believeable, but that's why it's fiction. The Night Witches do seem to be a little too skilled in that book.

Who, pray tell, who, suggested that you didn't keep to the topic of the thread? You as the creator of the thread, would seem to dictate the subject matter of said thread. I insulted your intelligence, Pseudo called you a retard, and 37mm made a joke, but no where did anyone say that you went off topic. Your logic doesn't make sense, and I'm not sorry.
You are not wanted here. Is that clear enough? Is that on topic? GO AWAY!

You mention engine fires. The tank in question had its external packs (crew belongings) set ablaze, but the engine itself didn't catch fire. It was abandoned because it was taking part in a thunder run that would only experience heavier combat as the day went on. Who wants to fight while towing a tank? It was blasted in place. Are there any other recorded events of engine fires? If not, this could be your distortion.

Did you subcontract that post to JasonC?

Sure, sure. But as the old adage states: "How do you stop a Syrian tank?Originally posted by Battlefront.com:Again, tanks are seen as an important part of MOUT combat. Few would argue against that. However, just because something is seen as good doesn't mean that it is seen as superior. Or at least superior in all situations all the time. That's why there is a little thing called Combined Arms tactics
Shoot the guy who's pushing it."

Looks like a new bike tire with all of the little rubber sprues still on.
Are the bumps on the glacis points for attaching reactive armor?

Not fuels so much as engines.

Once they corrected that they produced some very high quality power plants.

Why did they put the Merlin engine in the P-51 again?Originally posted by Mr. Dozer:The RAf engines sucked
RAF engines didn't have fuel injectors which allowed Luftwaffe planes to dive away.

It seems that way because he is using scale +1 billion.

I'd say this calls for a sticky.
Just make sure it doesn't turn into a CM:SF sticky-fest where you need to scroll down to check the other threads. [i'm better now.]

You speak the truth, oh wise American one.

Note: "merriment" does not equal "gayness".

Dude, I would love to force the "drunken master", or whatever it is you call yourself, to surrender in shame, but the sad fact of the matter is good ole SC isn't on the HD right now.
One day, my good fellow, I shall take you up on your challenge, and there will be much merriment.
Quick artillery question....

The FO needs to have line of sight to the target when the spotting rounds fall, once the spotting rounds are out, you can move him wherever you want.
