jshandorf Posted September 27, 2000 Share Posted September 27, 2000 I was wondering why is it that the Coax MG ALWAYS has to be unusable after a tank has taken Gun Damage. I mean I understand why it could happen sometimes, but why is it made to be that way ALL the time? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 28, 2000 Share Posted September 28, 2000 I have no idea why either. Either no one else knows or it has been dicsussed to death so that no one wants to answer. Once you lose the gun the tank becomes an expensive taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted September 28, 2000 Share Posted September 28, 2000 Its because when the gun is hit the gerbils have only one place to hide....in the barrel of the Coax MG!! ------------------ "Death solves all problems - no man no problem" J.V.Stalin, 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patboivin Posted September 28, 2000 Share Posted September 28, 2000 Well, what would you call an MMG Bren carrier with one wounded crewman? A mobile, unarmed, totally vulnerable, observation post that carries no passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schugger Posted September 28, 2000 Share Posted September 28, 2000 Coax and main gun share the same optics. I 'm pretty sure of this with the german Zeiss optics and I don't think it is different with the allied optics either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holdit Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Where do you go to get your trunnions rubbed? Is there a secret address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tank designers sure have a sense of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
