loader fails

[@robertsutton1295]

Former M1 tanker here, I did it all (Loader, Driver, Gunner, Commander) at one point or another. He was pretty rough off the mark, but improved considerably as he went along. Training, and practice, in a stationary tank in the motor pool, is fine; but learning how to reload quickly and efficiently and consistently in a moving tank can only happen at Gunnery. Look at his (much improved!) technique on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds: cupping the AFCAP (base) with his left hand, and using the right hand to pivot the round across his left elbow and into the breech. THAT's how you do it. We call it training for a reason. Fair job, soldier. Showed marked improvement as he went along, still room for more improvement.

[@id_Usher]

To do this, you need to spend the engine life of the tank and shells? To understand how to load the gun correctly? Funny. Are they standing, but at full speed over rough terrain, after several days of marching? What can wheezer do?

[@robertsutton1295]

@@id_Usher Doing basic drills in a stationary tank in the motor pool expends no fuel, no ammo; the tank is off, and the shell is a training dummy. Put the dummy round in the ammo rack. Leave the ammo door open. Open the gun breech. Take the round out of the ammo rack, and put it in the gun. Then take the round out, put it back in the ammo rack. Rinse, repeat. Builds strength, coordination, and speed.

where does he fail? bit slow maybe and bit scared of the "blowback" and sometimes forgets the lever but fail is a bit harsh :D btw whats that lever for? i assume its somekind of safety? we had a control panel in leo2 that does job when pressed fire and also u had to press either heat or apds for the calculator (also stops the gun moving for loades safety) but we had a huge tray to catch the shells. witch leeds me to my final point I love the layout and extra room of the fighting compartment

[@Reemuson]

Autorage It's the breech lock. You fire, breech block slams open and ejects firing pin assembly and you load a round push the block up and lock it.

[@eatsleeptankrepeat350]

Autorage clearly you have never been on a tank lol

[@autorage5337]

yeah i was just wondering since its the same rheinmetall l44 smoothbore gun used in leopard 2a4:s or l55 in a6's and we didn't have the manual breech lock. It's locked automaticly after u push the shell in.. the down side is if u need to remove the shell it's a bit slower.. since the tool to open the breech lock in under the gun and quite clumsy to use.

[@autorage5337]

Sadly I have :D I'm trained commander for leopard 2. Just a different tank but the gun supposed to be the same. And excuse me for my bad language... Never thought the names in english.. like that huge tray.. in finland we call it vetäytymissuoja.. witch translates to retriet cover or something like that.. since the breech moves something like 350mm after fired.. It also collects the shell cases.

Great job on his part for learning so quick no fails there, only learning. I was just afraid his arm would get caught when he was shoving the shell in and the latch closed

Those of you who want to know all the rounds he was loading are called heat rounds high-explosive anti-tank they shoot out a jet of molten copper once they hit the target except for the last one which was an apfsds armor-piercing fin stabilized discarding sabo which is a kinetic round with a uranium core to help it Perce armor

This is a fine example of the challenges and effort of loading the main gun of a modern MBT. While I may be a proponent of the use of autoloaders in MBTs, with enough training and motivation a loader can perform some really amazing feats. And as far as I've seen so far, most countries that have tanks like these have no shortage of either. :)

[@elitebelt]

That guy learned real quick, though. In just a few reloads he cut down on his time by a lot. He's likely new to doing this and when you consider he's lugging a massive fucking shell like that in a rocking vehicle confined in a tight space, yeah that won't be easy for a newbie. That takes time and practice to get used to before you can have it down like clockwork.

[@speedkiller3026]

I was part of a TOW missile loading team, four missiles loaded either side of a Lynx aircraft (eight in total). The first day of training we were a mess. Last part of the drill was engaging the 'arming lever', making the missiles live, something you didn't do until all the team had moved away from the forward and rear blast area of the missiles (in case of misfire) and all of us were forever forgetting to either engage the arming lever or engaging with personnel stood in blast zones. Two days of training it all came together for majority of class except for a few who just couldn't master lightening fast loading/unloading/loading drills or the correct use of the arming lever. First time we carried out live drills all the training and prep worked in our favour, all missiles loaded, fired and unloaded correctly.

Seems like he just needs to figure out a fluid method & stick with that method. Not too bad. No drops. Dumb question: Is the chamber essentially "crushing" the aluminum shell case down immediately after firing ?

[@sopina.]

No, the shell casing is actually made in highly flammable material so that it gets consumed when fired. This leaves only the metallic part at the end, which is why it is so small.

Okay, technical question here: Where are the spent shell casings? I see the metal disk things, (Don't know what they're called... "primer plates", maybe?), falling into a catcher bin beneath the breech after each firing sequence, but where's the rest of the shell? Do they use a cellulose casing that burns with the powder or something?

[@Nyx_2142]

If I remember correctly, the shell casings are combustible.

[@balthy8139]

Nex Gamez yup, that's called caseless ammunition

[@mtaylor44]

Steve, They are called Aft Caps.

[@cameronbrown8113]

On these rounds, the case (the light gray portion between the warhead and the black rubber sealing ring near the base in the picture above) is made of nitrocellulose (heavy duty cardboard impregnated with nitroglycerin) and burns up completely when the round is fired. The only thing left after the round is fired is the aft-cap and primer which are ejected out of the breach and fall to the turret floor to be gathered up and turned back in to the ammo supply point later for re-use in making new rounds.

[@TheChampIsHere9988]
