We would set up AN/PRC-77 jump radios in M1A2s back in the early 90s at Yakima training range in WA.

The M1A2 didn't live fire back in Fort Lewis and you can only do so much in a simulator.

[@user-xo4jk1pi7k]

Было дело

[@ActionScripter]

When you called "identified tank, 1200", you lased and the TIS appeared to show over 2k range. What's up with that? Were you just calling battlesight range for simplicity?

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

Before I fire, I have to give a target description and a range, but the manual never says the range has to be accurate. However, notice how the tank commander doesn't tell the driver to move up from behind the berm until I give a range. The gunner can keep refining a range if their laze is bad while the tank is moving, but waiting to read off the actual range takes precious seconds away from the rest of the crew.

[@ActionScripter]

@@dreadnaught_37_kilo Interesting. So it's purely a way to satisfy the requirements of the exercise while maintaining maximum speed? Would this also be done in a combat situation?

[@MonkeyLibFront]

@@dreadnaught_37_kilo interesting, as a challenger 2 gunner and now tank commander the only time we ever gave a range in a fire control order was when systems have degraded or firing off of the auxillary sight.

[@cferbentn88]

@@MonkeyLibFront We do the same. If the FCS has the ability to give a range, then it can be omitted from the fire command. Most gunners still give a range only b/c it's what they have been taught. When I was a gunner i learned to just say LOST every time I pulled triggers, not b/c I lost track of the round but b/c you must give a sensing, so it was just an expedient way to satisfy meeting the requirements.

There's not really an "extended version" as most of these are individual engagements that last anywhere from 50 seconds to 75 seconds.

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

How exactly does the TC's gender affect her ability to fight the tank? I think the fact that she had only been on a tank for 2 weeks prior to this video has a lot more to do with it.

[@CrowDawg11]

@@dreadnaught_37_kilo she is clearly not in command there. The gunner is walking all over her and commanding. Of course there's individual exceptions but nobody can honestly sit and deny that often times women are not assertive enough or command enough respect to keep control of their troops and she was most definitely not.

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

Once again, you're assuming it was due to gender rather than inexperience, even after I stated that inexperience was involved. Instances exist where females aren't assertive enough to command troops in battle, for sure. That's just a fact. But that doesn't excuse your automatic assumption that "lack of control = female" in this instance. Soldiers must be evaluated purely on their ability to complete a task. She didn't do great in this video. However, go ahead and show me a male soldier who can do better with 2 weeks of experience, and we'll talk about how your example is still an edge case and your argument is still discriminatory for no reason.

Perhaps in this world the new tank models almost used automatic reloading mechanism, but the American tank line still uses manual reloading mechanism. And even though it is twice as expensive as some other tanks, our country still has to choose it if it does not want to be sanctioned by the US.

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

What country are you in? The Japanese are the only nation that have a viable autoloader for a 120mm round (apparently one that reloads in only 3 seconds), and 125mm rounds as used in tanks such as the T-14 and T-90 have tradeoffs that reduce their effectiveness. In my opinion, a manual loader is far superior to an autoloader, but we're getting to the point technologically where that might not continue to be true. Still, I'd love to know where sanctions are being threatened over Tank contracts...

The coaxial machine gun doesn't use that handle as a safety, in fact, it's a huge safety violation to fire the coax with the arming handle engaged. It wasn't planned, the electronics to fire the machine gun came out of alignment, so I ended up having to fire it manually.

[@tankcommander33]

​Watch your trigger pull, you launched that round before announcing on the way. Tell your loader to work on his stoppage drill. You should never have to get off the browpad. He just sat there. Announce stoppage, charge it, attempt to fire, announce stoppage, then your loader should hit the EL and fix the issue if he can. Good job firing manually. Remember, scan range fan to range fan

@@denthdeath1 No ready racks, from the tank's front perspective the rear turret bustle is split in in two, you load from left to right with each compartment having doors that open and close automatically, theres a couple other ammo places in the lower hull but the rear turret for the most part is all you got.

That's why the tank crew is sooooo jacked up. If we would have done that in OIF we would have been in the pine boxes instead of the Iraqis.

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

Yeah this wasn't the greatest engagement. It was the one I got the best footage of though lol

[@Airrage88]

Yeah no shit bro that's why training exists. If your table 5 doesn't suck, your MG fucked you and didn't make it hard enough to prepare you for 6. Old timers always acting like they didn't suck at some point...Very cool video though, especially with the Through Sight Cam on the TIS.

[@mattz1230]

@@dreadnaught_37_kilo Yeah, not your best. Good training. 1. Your loader; though I defended him earlier, should be quicker. Not every shot you sling will be a hit- or even a kill. I know that you hit it, and the 2nd target was a coax target, but he can work it a bit faster. 2. Coax maintenance. You should have known you had an issue from your LFAST day. You know how to build the platform in the coax box? Get that solenoid adjusted, that should have been a prefire check. 3. Good job using your tactical break time to fix your coax. Most crews just hang out and flap in the wind. But... 4. WTF?!? Don't ever let your loader work on the gun like that with the cadillacs engaged! Especially when moving up! One hard stop, one slip, and your loader is between the breechring and turret roof, and guaranteed to pass his next Ht/Wt. You got to have him work on it, fine; let go the handles, and make sure he's clear before you pull up. 5. Yep, there's a trigger on the coax. Good job finding it. 6. Coax zero can be tighter. Lastly....TC. Your gunner does not run your tank. You are the tank COMMANDER, not the tank rider. You should be doing more to scan, to prep your crew, to LEAD the engagement. You have a good gunner, but he's carrying you. You need to work the crew duties, chair drills and get comfortable doing that job. You're the brains of that crew, you need to step up and act like it. Gunner, good job. Hope you've been to the board, and have your own tank; you seem like you're ready for it. Hope your TTVI went well.

Loader: "Stop looking at me with that mustache..."

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

He may have said that verbatim...

[@thepatriotwarrior4823]

Next time when you go to fire the main gun make sure you arm it. Arm up rounds are live. If it’s down your out. Plus the loader was a little slow on loading the round. He needs some dummy round training. Get him good and strong.

[@TheTh903]

Question, why did the loader not push the safety arm up for the 120?

[@jamestheotherone742]

Because the next engagement was coax. He was just battlecarrying sabot. Loader does not arm the main gun until the TC issues a fire command.

[@setesh1294]

after loading the first round, or after loading the second round?

[@jamestheotherone742]

@@setesh1294 Second round. See my first post.

[@mattz1230]

Because it's a 5 point crew cut for the loader to arm the main gun when the gunner is directed to engage with the COAX.

[@vozhdenko932]

Imagine actually loading the turret by hand This post was made by the T14 Armata gang. (Btw I mean no offense I really like the abrams and this is a really cool video :)

[@reaperslaughter4554]

I don't think it's a big problem to manual loading in tanks,to me the outdated M109 is the real joke.

[@vozhdenko932]

@@reaperslaughter4554 I dont think manual loading is a bad thing at all. In some cases, I would actually prefer manual loading over automatic.

[@tankcommander33]

Im not sure why the gunner is giving the driver commands. The fire and adjust is for the turret. Also it's a safety crew cut for firing before the "way"of "on the way"

What happens to the spent shell casing? I never see what happens to it.

The entire shell except for the metal base disintegrates when the gun is fired. The base of the shell is ejected down into a basket by the loader's feet.

[@tankerchino9920]

As having been a M1A2 SEP V2 tank driver, loader, gunner and ending my career as a tank commander I would say this is one of the worst engagements I have seen. Slow load times, not citing the correct range, and also that coax was just horrendous. Whole crew needs to re train back at the AGTS and maybe re train on how to maintain the M240 coaxial machine gun.

[@Alvah707]

Wow almost like they are training or something.

[@dreadnaught_37_kilo]

73 points, qualified. "Correct" range is not required, just "range". And yeah, we forgot to do solenoid timing for the coax. Definitely a learning experience. We did a lot better on table 6 lol
