[@2727daqwid]

​@@SledgeHammerMindOpeneryou can recognise older tanks by how they look. Most were a bit round, often very noisy engines, and new tanks generally are very angular, sharp edges everywhere (especially front), and somewhat cleaner designs. Probably best to know how Challenger, Abrams, Leopard, Leclerc and T-90 (/80/72) look like if you want to be able to recognise basically like 80% of tanks you're gonna see anywhere in the world. Polish now are buying K2 tanks from Korea, they basically look like Leopards 2A4 (although they are a separate constitution).

So many stories from time served on Chieftains. That howling engine at night, in a pitch dark wood as it's getting closer to your hide, we used to chase the poor bloody infantry with them, but then during live firing ex they would shoot our optics out! We would also tell some new infantry lads that the OTT (onboard Tank Telephone) could be used to call home, the commander would act as the telephone operator and keep em their for ages! Last one, we had one of the loader/operators (loading rounds into the breach/radio op) who's leg slipped off the guard rail as the turret was being powered round, it broke his leg into 16 fracture points and the only way to get it out was to slowly hand traverse the turret back to get him out of the turret!

I used to drive Mk.11's like that one for a living. They were still being used as front-line gun tanks until 1992 (some units retained a few until much later too) and in that version you have exactly the same gun, gun control kit and Thermal Observation and Gunnery Sights (TOGS was not IR, it was MUCH better) as the newer Challenger 1 MBT, (the seller was in error though, Chally 2 does not share the same gun and it has completely more modern fire control kit) with a half awake crew a Mk.11 Chieftain could still spoil anything on the battlefields morning and the L11A5 120mm rifled gun is still the record holder for the longest direct Tank v Tank kill in combat. A few words of advice lads, regular halt parades (check your track tension and adjust manually) always rev the engine down after use for cool off, don't just kill switch it immediately off, the Leyland L60 in the back is her Achilles heel sadly so treat it gently where you can, it's basically a badly made copy of the WWII German Jumo 207 aero diesel engine. Oh the most important thing, NEVER run the L60 past 2500 RPM, as you can get an engine runaway, where basically it will rev itself to destruction (even if you kill the power, it will keep going) and you don't want to be near the wagon if the lump goes Super Nova in the back. We were instructed in the event of a runaway, aim the wagon up a hill and let the crew bail out., because when the engine goes boom you don't want to be in the vicinity - TRUST ME! Oh and ask any Chieftain crew what the scariest job was, they should answer replacing the suspension spring pack - changing those is the best laxative known to man, done wrong the nested springs will go off like an artillery round and fly down range with bits of whoever was stood in front of them attached!

Hi Folks, Yes its a Chieftain and the Fitter is bang on in details pretty much all the way, I was on the Chieftains in the 70,s and can even confirm the one about the engine running away, this is something I have witnessed on an excersize when doing a run, as one of the lead tanks started to emit really thick smoke as it stopped without reason. Then the hatches opened and the crew bailed and ran as the smoke began to pour out of the engine decks faster and thicker, We could hear the engine bustin a gut and then all hell broke loose though we couldnt see the damage happeneing due to the Thick smoke it basically Effed the tank. in fact we had a saying. Chieftain tank, oil on the floor since 1964... BTW the big box on left of turret is a pretty powerful search light, and also has an infra red filter behind the door, so you could have white or infra red light. of course you would need the infra red sights to see the reflected infra red light come back in the sight. the convoy light was a very small normal red light under the rear of every vehicle that a following vehicle would have to follow for night driving in battle conditions. hell of a job trying to watch one tiny red light over any distance. point to note though, the lead vehicle would have the advantage of just pure natural light, although by night this is very limiting you should try it, sit a while the you will be suprised how much more you can see once you become used to the limited light. Just to add. it wasnt common practise to use a tank to take out trees, one to limit damage to the very expensive gun and second not to damage tracks or leave a feking gaping big ass track showing position to over head danger lol. I wouldnt want to be a tankie now though with modern A/T weapons around. sleep tight Ladies.

[@flare9757]

The thing about Track Maintenance is ideally you pull the tracks off the vehicle every month or so and grease every link so it doesn’t squeak. You don’t have to do this, but the track could start rusting and squeaking when they are being moved. Generally speaking, you need to cut the tracks off as they showed in the video. So you will need to replace around 48 new links every year under ideal circumstances, plus many hours of meticulous care of the joints. I also don’t think they showed him how to do track tension, which you need to adjust before taking the track off or it will snap apart violently, and after putting one on so the track isn’t loose.
