@JohnGordijn

Жыл бұрын

@@Ares-nt9bu Hi, the shell casing of a 120 mm shell consists of a kind of cardbord that burns completely when fired. Only thing that is left is de bottom part that contains the ignition. It makes it a bit lighter. The downside is, that when you have fired a couple rounds and the loader has already put a new shell in the breach and wants to pull it out again, it can tear off. Happend to my loader once :)

@@SandorSoptei Its a serie of buttons and a turning knob. With the buttons you select the correct ammo kind (in my days KE for kenetic or HE for heat), a safe button (if I remember correct) and a turning knob to determine the angle of the gun when the loader can load another round. So when the breach is ready to receive a round, the loader puts for example a Heat round in the breach and pushes the HE button. As soon as he doen this, the gun can be fired. The selection is used by the targeting computer to calculate the correct angle etc.

Brings back memories.. :-) Clearly, the Loader has never ben hit by the recoil of the cannon due to an eager gunner. Sticking your hands into the basket with an armed gun is really a gamble.. ask me how I know :-D

Am I the only one who thinks the loader has the most fun job?

Man that loader gives me anxiety.

What are the shell casings made from? They aren't ejected with the base and primer. Anyone??

Most of the case is made out of combustible material (that s why storage standards for these shells are higher), so it goes away during a shot from the canon. The only thing that's ejected is the metal cap on the bottom of the shell. It looks like a huge pin.

For those complaining about the loaders arm/hand’s please note the gunner always checks the loader before firing the main cannon. They’re a team, meant to look out for one another.

Not true. By pressing the ammo selectbutton on the top, the loader is technically handing over the canon to the gunner. He can also set the gun to safe with the same buttons. The gunner can see in his visor if the canon is ready to be fired. The gunner should never turn his head away from the visor. It is his primary job.

@@JohnGordijn I was thinking the same, the gunner should be keeping his eye on the target, like a sniper, not looking away to check on his loader. They are a team, and they need to trust each member to do their job.

It doesn’t have to be visual, that’s why they’re always yelling out before they fire, communication is key

How heavy is a 120mm shell

Think I notice about western tanks to Russian tanks is that when the Russian tanks fire all the smoke goes into the cabin in with western tanks there’s very little smoke whether they have the hatches opener or not

The Leopard tank has a automated smoke absorber - the knob on the barrel. The fired shot fills the knob with pressure and after the shot the pressure is realeased to the front of the barrel.

What the hell are you talking about, no modern tank has smoke flushing back into the cabin. Go look at some of the Russian yearly tank competitions and you'll clearly see the system pushing the powder smoke out the front. You are reading far too much propaganda.

Can anyone tell me how tall this guy is. I’m anxious that I won’t get taken because i am to tall.

@@Orca19904 T-72 uses autoloader, so technically no one is in that role.

If you think those Canadian sounds weird, Commander is most likely from Alberta and the Loader from Québec or New Brunswick so they both have fucked up accents. I would say the loader is more likely to be from Québec since he messed up estimé and estimated. Close enough words and any Canadian would understand but it seems like he was looking at the commander for a little help so he could correct him.

Well If you want to know if they can load yes I think they can they did in similar tank systems like the M1 Abram’s in the gulf war

What I find interesting is the fact that it takes him 7 to 9 seconds to reload, just like in World of Tanks. Pretty accurate;)

How good is ventilation in our tank? I heard that lots of US personell got cancer due to fumes of big guns like gunship gunners or tank gunners working with DU ammo.

Strats or rcd?
