Awwwww, Hell Yeah!

That wasn't an M1, and the dumbass forgot to lock the hatch. I think it was in San Diego, the one where he got high-centered on a jersey wall?

You're right it was M60. I pictured it in my head as a M1 for some reason. Still the lack of shells for the cannon and him being the only crew in the tank was his downfall. Tanks are cool but without the logistical support for them and the crew to man it, other than a shelter for small arms fire I wouldn't be looking to one to fight the "man". As always just my silly opinion.

Welcome to my world. No imagination as a kid, playing with shit it had to be feasible in the real world. When I would play with gi-joes they needed a support base and MASH unit before going into battle.

Now I see why flint is your only friend

[assateague]

I will drive my tank over this thread.

[The Duck Hammer]

Please do.

[Olly]

I will drive my tank over this thread.

You gonna have the fuel, mechanics, extra parts, and training to drive that tank anywhere? I bet in some army manual somewhere there is a dollar value assigned just in logistics on a per day basis to run a M1 tank into battle. I'd like to see that number.

why do I believe this Olly?

[assateague]

Thank God in just running it over virtual words and not into battle, then. And I've driven enough 113s to probably figure out a tank. I won't need to worry about brakes either, so that cuts the required knowledge base down 25%.

[The Duck Hammer]

Brakes are for quitters anyway.

I would love to just be given the "keys" to a tank to see if I could start it up and drive. I bet I could.

[Olly]

I started the power plant on a 140' ice breaker without direction. Asked the engineers on the ship if I could next time they needed to do it just to see if I could. Rebel will know what I'm talking about. If you've never seen the ECU of a ship it's a wall of nothing but gauges, switches and buttons.

Weren't you scared of breaking it?


And for the record, tanks don't have keys.

No because the Chief was standing right there and was going to stop me if I did something wrong. It really wasn't that hard to start a big diesel engine. I only did the one, one of the junior engineers did the other side too. It all started because when I was on the boat fixing their computers I made the comment that I bet I could start the engine on the boat alone if I had to and they laughed. Before hand I had KIND OF seen one of them do it and had a general idea of the steps.

And I know that's why I said keys in quotation marks... it was a euphemism for having free reign to do with the tank as I wished.

Just putting this out there, when Assa gets his tank, I would gladly volunteer to be part of that crew!

Here's the engine room of the yacht I just retired from. Pair of 3412 Cat main engines and a pair of 50KW northern lights generators. Click on photos for better detail.

The thought of Assa with a tank is a little scary, just saying...
