United States Military Vehicle General: Guns, G*vins, and Gas Turbines
Pascal replied to Tied's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Russians from their first BMP and BMD to their latest iterations had the IFV commander also be the squad leader for their dismounts and from a book written be a soviet ground vehicle designer the designers of the BMP-3 wanted a 3 crew permanent for the vehicle but the army didn't budge with their 2 crew. I guess the designers wanting a permanent commander means its quite important. -
It seems that the fuel is compartmentalized. Very cool.

Problem with other vehicles is that thin buttered armor around everything makes the crew capsule and their suspension comparable vulnerable while capsules like on Jaguar not. And something tells me it's easier to maintain also.

God damn, they nerfed NATO 120MM HEAT shells, who the hell did that, i remember some discussions here about someone on some website was too, very inclined to consider 120MM not having ~600MM penetration and K1 impotent.

350 M2A2 Bradley's and 1200 M1117 for Greece.

Thank you very much for the information. Shame German Leopards 2 gunner's went so much time without second generation thermals. Couldn't gunners use the commanders second generation thermal for firing?

So the German leopards 2 jumped over the second generation thermal imager's for the gunner's sight right to third generation?

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Pascal replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
It's not nitpicking, the post exists for many reasons, for reply's too. It's straightforward, in a shot T-34, one crew member dies from 4. In a shot Sherman, probability of one crew member dying is 0,85% from 5.- 5,220 replies

What you are talking about is the second wave for the 76mm guns. The first one was this: https://litl-bro.livejournal.com/22260.html- 5,220 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Pascal replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
There was actually a think regarding the 76 mm(L-11,F-32,F-34) and 45 mm cannons and their poor capabilities against Panzer IV and Panzer III armor. The firing ranges of these tanks against tanks with 76 mm were pretty much the same until the Autumn of 1941, after that ammo for 76 mm cannons got better.- 5,220 replies

Statistics, well there is something: Reliability of soviet tanks, including post ww2 tanks. http://btvt.info/5library/vbtt_1979_03_garantija.htm Some statistics regarding crew loss, T-34, 4 crew versions and Sherman, of course the latter has 5 crew members but even with that it has fewer crew losses. https://rostislavddd.livejournal.com/365699.html https://rostislavddd.livejournal.com/360075.html https://rostislavddd.livejournal.com/359840.html- 5,220 replies

From the looks of it they are using reserve vehicles. They should move to Enlisted.

It refers to M1 Abrams, but it's interesting nonetheless. -
90mm APFSDS.

I don't remember, i don't have the links anymore just a lot of snippets in folders on random themes that i saved.

Distances of High Explosive bursts penetration capabilities, i figured general AFV thread is a good place for this, after all, all AFV have some sort of requirement to this regard. Some bits of M2 AP too.

Pitching characteristics of Panther and T-34 at various speeds. -
Just some tests of L44/L55 cannons.

What's the identification range of a tank target for the image intensifiers of the early '70 time frame? I had something regarding the M60A3 and it's early versions with the image intensifiers before switching to it's thermals, hope i can find it in time.

In what sense? Were Thermals outside armored vehicles okay in the early '70, if there were any in service? In 1974 a test with an AN/TAS-3 strapped to a TOW, had a 60% hit capability at ranges from 600 to 1000 meters at night, compared to 16% with day tracker and some illumination.
