It was back then too just not so much computers and muzzle reference systems.. Hydroponic turrets and gun drives where in some tanks way back in ww2 mainly the germans had them. But most other nations adopted similar systems during the war. Ballistic computers along with muzzle reference systems which monitors the warping of the barrel from firing to adjust the sight for it. In the most it made them waste fewer shells by getting more on target. The thing that is different is now there are no casings to eject from the guns as most the only thing that comes out is a charge pan that holds the detonator for the shell or loading is done by a auto loader instead of a human being.

Hi, I was a tank gunner/commander/Instructor '63 to '74 on Centurion tanks then Chieftain in 1st Royal Tank Regiment in Hohne, Germany. The breech block is the 20 pounder L3a2 Ordnance Quick firing Naval gun taken from Royal Navy design for early Centurions and Leopards for NATO standards. Then the block was used for the NATO 120mm ammo for NATO standard. I remember the metal circle in the centre of the breech which houses the firing pin and smaller circle housing "The screw retaining the firing pin withdrawal lever" which we had to learn by rote or get punished by carrying a 120 drill round around the square. Crews never had problems with coaxial machine gunsmoke as we had the more reliable Browning .30 with its easy stoppage drills and less smoke into the turret. Great days.

the loader has the worst job in a tank and is usually the lowest ranked of all crew along with the driver. though the TC and gunner seem to have cushy jobs (and do much of the time) they have more responsibilities in other areas and still have to help maintain the tank in certain cases. the driver also has a pretty shitty job as the tank’s primary mechanic, and tanks break down just as cars do. but of these jobs, driver and loader are the worst.

I was a tank commander on this beauty in the Dutch army in the mid-eighties ... best time of my life. Actually, I was looking for some video's of shooting drill in the dark, "light-and-fire shooting" we called it. Very spectacular with one tank (fire) directing over the radio the search light of the other three tanks, searching for targets. The "light" tanks would alternate every 10 seconds, so as not to expose their position for too long. Would be great if someone had a video of that.

Once one of the wagons 20 meters away from us fired right after our class commander (tank school days) made me remove my hearing protection after not being able to hear what he tried to tell me. I should have trusted my instinct. Another time we flipped 90 degrees. I once almost got suffocated by gas under the tank because someone threw smoke under there while we where evacuating under the tank (there was no oxygen only gasses). A colleague flipped 180, another went through the ice, one tank hit a big tree that broke and a big part hit the commander in the head and he was knocked out. Once two tanks collided, and much more. Nobody died any of those times so we were lucky. Other times people have not been lucky. People have been squeezed to death, drowned and more but usually there are not many accidents compared to all the hours the tanks is in use.

War Thunder: Let me just reload coaxial and the main gun at the same time and be like an autoloader always as effective as I was when I started my service. Ppl just take those 2 times where he held the round in his hands ready to reload as the rule to how wt reload should look like. If you really want realistic reload wait for reduced reload time on move, stopped reload time when reloading coaxials, stopped reload time after 5 shots, so the loader can get rid off the empty shells and also reload time reduction over time due to exhaustion. I have now seen so many comments pointing those 2 times, while comepletely ignoring all other things the loader had to do. Just shut up kid.

I've never served and I'm not a tanker by no means but something about this is so dang cathartic to me

@@infamoussoapconsumer3870 what is this question

Makes me appreciate the combustible cases we used on the Abrams.. also that the coaxial m240 was mounted on the right side lol..

Hopefully they’ve address the issue of the shell casing resting right in front of the breach when he’s getting ready to load it and he has to take time to clear it out of the way before he could push the next shell through,,, I mean don’t get me wrong he’s good at his job I’m sure and he’s doing great but that shells resting in front of the breach is slowing him down a little tiny bit that could make all the difference in the world someday

went over to see how the Lord Strathconas light horse did their simulators a few weeks back and the coms these guys do is so quick and so calculated, i was very impressed, the communication between those 4 men inside the tank will always amaze me, and i always love being near them when they are firing. sends a shock to your chest.

Great memories coming back, especially this sound of the hydraulic pump when keeping up the pressure for the weapon stabilization

Is their turret blower damaged?! jeez the smoke from that coax surprised the loader. I forgot how little recoil the 105 had, that and the super loud coax. In the Abrams, it's quite the opposite with a quiet coax and super loud main.

So much for the essential separation of ammunition and crew...did I see 5 live shells beside the loader? Also the gunnery and machine gun fumes will mean tank crews will tend to leave turret hatches open to remove the fumes.

You sir is an ignorant foo but peace be with you. Its from a demo, it is a live fire exercise with museum weapons. It is called Open heath, it is in Denmark and its free to come and watch. last time 30000 people showed up with their children. You stand close to the vehicles, motars and cannons, you are within a 100 yards from the tanks but no more than 30 yards from the mortarsnwhen they open up, tourists love it, children love it. Type "Åben Hede" and then the the year you wanna see like "åben hede 2022" it pretty popular. These guys are retired vets , volunteers who help with the museum. This uniform is m84, it is not used anylonger either. Everything you see is retired vehicles, all the way from 1940 tanks and vehicles up to retired LEO2A5 in the live fire excise. One of the most fun things are when m109 makes a direct fire, the crowd get seriously surprised every year by the preasure and report from the m109 direct fire. Alot of people have never experienced live fire of such a magnitude before.

Most tank mounted case guns like this one utilize an automatic ejector system to eject the spent cartridge from the chamber. When the gun recoils there is a mechanism that opens the breach block. When the breech block reaches its open most position it actuates a lever that pulls on the rim of the casing extracting it from the breach, this lever is the extractor. once the extractor completes its rearward swing ejecting the spent cartridge from the chamber, it locks in place preventing the breech block from closing again. When the loader slams a new round into the chamber, the momentum of the round and its rim hitting the extractor is sufficient to unlock it and intern the breach block. With the extractor having unlocked the breach block, the breach block is able to slam closed under the force of a spring or similar mechanism. The breech block can only be closed if the extractor is pushed forward into its unlocked position. Theoretically this would mean that the loader cannot get his fingers caught inside the chamber, since the breach block should only be closing when there is around in the chamber itself.

@@moojuice369 if the breach were to close that fast without a round in the chamber, it could absolutely slice your fingers off. The advantage is that the breach doesn't close automatically unless the ejector is pushed forward by the round. With the round in the chamber, it plugs up the surface against which the breech block would do slicing. If you look closely in the video you'll see that the loader makes his hand into a fist as he slams the round into the chamber. Once the round seats fully into the chamber the breach block closes automatically and simply slides his fist off the back of the round. All of that said, I have to give the caveat that I've never loaded a 105 leopard before so it's possible there are other small features or geometries on the inside of the breech block that could clip or slice off fingers.

Even still, that would be unlikely. You have to also keep in mind that these guns are designed specifically to minimize that sort of thing. If your gun injures your loader, he can't load and the tank is largely out of the fight.

The coaxial MG needs an extract fan! Kudos to he gunner; busy dude!

Just to think of how tuff it was in action in ww2 and the stress level inside one of those metal coffins back then. Every tank knows they are a large target. And sure to be attacked. These tank on that battlefield would have been the wonder weapon!! Wow

Why does the breach “door” close so quickly when the round is loaded, is it automatically done or manually closed? Would not want your hand/fingers in the way would you.

@bachelorchownowwithflavor3712

The breech block is automatic. As you can see in the video the loader pushes the round into the chamber with a closed fist, never placing his fingers in a position to be snagged by the breech block. According to an M1 Abrams loader I spoke with several years back, the breech block simply slaps your hand out of the way if you don't move it fast enough.

The breach is triggered to close by a small handle interfacing with the rear of the casing. Simple spring loaded mechanism. Standard operating procedure for the loader is to use his fist to push the grenade and casing into the breach. That way his fingers are safe. You can see this in the video. This loader is however doing an unsafe thing. He is moving a casing in the tray behind the breach after the gun is loaded. That is a good way to break your arm if the gunner fires a quick shot. This crew is working in a stationary tank. This all gets more exciting when shooting on the move - which the Leo A5 mostly did.

It's not much actually. I lifted 20-25 kilos like 500-700 times when I worked as a loader in docks.

Seems possibly easier to keep clear of the breach than in an Abrams? Cleaner area too, less levers, bolts, brackets etc. Looks a good layout.
