I was a tanker on M60A1s with the 4th infantry in the early 80s. If I was the TC on that tank I would not be happy with the guy's performance at all. The malfunction was caused by the loader not being strong enough to fully slam that round into the chamber so the breech could close. Maybe it was his first time at gunnery, I don't know, but that was a mistake that could get the whole crew killed in a real tank fight so I would seriously school this guy once the run was done.

It's more a manpower reason. A tank with an autoloader only requires 3/4th the crew of one that doesn't. Which is useful for nations that have manpower restrictions. And yes the USSR and Russia was one of those post WWII. Look up "Echos of the lost generation" if you want more detail. However, it does have a big downside. This means that each man in a 3 man crew is now having to do a the maintenance and upkeep work of 1.3 of what it would be in a 4 man crew. In addition when it comes to defending the tank in closer engagements and against infantry having a loader gives you an extra machine gun and pair of eyes.

In four years as a loader, I was never faced with this situation. Closest I came was when the avcap got caught in the deflector. I grabbed the breech lever and pried it out of there. Only took a couple of seconds. I was prepared to not like this guy because of his clumsy loading technique, but he solved the problem quickly and calmly. Good work.

What were you using those tools for. Did something go wrong when you were loading the round? Edit ( just read the description nvm.)

On the M-48A5 and M-60 series we had a safety switch above the breech that we opened before we grabbed the next round which was right behind the loader. After loading we quickly closed the switch and shouted "UP' so the gunner knew he was clear to fire. These light blue rounds are inert practice rounds but are capable of a great deal of destruction on any target. We did a little dance with our feet to kick the spent case away from us as it ejected, being quite hot. All kinds of noise in a tank during operation.

Looks like hard work. Thanks for serving guys !!

Yep, the arming lever. His arm isn't going into anything. The breech is the large square piece with a u shaped channel to place the round on, guiding it into the barrel. The breech block drops down after firing or can be manually opened with a tool exposing the barrel opening, loader inserts round fully, engaging the release latch and breech block rises. Sit back and lift the arming lever arms the gun. Gunner squeezes trigger and "Boom". That's the basic operation.

It's is strong enough to allow the blowout panels to pop off. So yes, it does protect us. There's a lot of good videos about it, if you look around KZread.

The M1s ammo storage copartment is designed with two blowout panels on top that direct any ammo cook-off up, out, and away from the crew compartment. See attached video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmiortuohtGbnKQ.html

All the electronics at once..making that sound.

Same gun as the Leopard 2. Rheinmetal 120 mm smoothbore. The cartridge Burns up with the powder and only the bottom end falls into the basket. I was a loader on a Leopard 2 tank, in fact the grandson of the tiger 1.

This is the first loader I ever see and it's a slim guy with glasses. Expectations flipped.

How heavy are the rounds?

@SuS_NuG_It

Sabots are about 35 pounds and most of the weight is in the "casing" Heat rounds are about 55 pounds and most of the weight in toward the projectile. Canister rounds are about 50ish (no totally sure, only handled them once) and it's much more nose heavy. MPAT rounds are about 40 or 45 and are pretty well balanced.

@@SuS_NuG_It does it automatically reaccommodate the rounds/rack for the loader? It's hard for me to explain my question in english, but what I mean is, does those (more or less) 12 rounds availabe for the loader (thats is visible when the door open) is gone, it automatticaly brings new ones or does the loader has to operate some kind of system to bring new ones for him to pick and reload the cannon?

@@IllustriousUnknown416 The Abrams has ~40 rounds stored all around the tank, with those 12 quickly available during a fight. In between engagements, a good loader would refill it with rounds from other parts of the tank, to keep the "ready rack" full for when he needs it. If you need to shoot more than those 12 rounds in a single engagement, you're in a world of hurt anyway. I'd recommend you to watch Nicholas Moran's video on the Abrams if you're interested in the stuff: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6CVxrmYdJfUe7g.html

@@IllustriousUnknown416 ooohh, gotcha. No. There's 18 behind the loaders door, another 18 behind the tank commanders door, and if we use all 18 of the loaders, we have to manually move the rounds from on rack to another. Only one ammo door can be physically open at a time, so we close one, open the other, pull as many as we can hold in our arms out, and then close the tc door and open the loaders to reload that rack. If we get really dire, there 6 more in a rack in the hull, but it almost never gets used.

War Thunder new tank interior camera mode.

The constant 'whine' your hearing is the series of hydraulic pumps working to pressurize fluids, for the tanks main gun stabilizer and power turret functions. Driven by exhaust gas recirculation from the engine, without it...turret and main gun goes to manual traverse operation.
