I liked the moment where Alvin and the chipmunks start talking

[@EzioAuditore]

They were taking incoming fire

[@M.Godfrey]

Haha well said.

[@Alpqmzasd]

Thanks for your service chipminks😂

The breach of the 105 mm M68 main gun I had in my M60A1 tank would slam shut automatically. I'm surprised the loader in the Abrams has to close the breach manually. This made loading a lot faster. I loved my tank. It was a blast to drive, and shooting the main gun was close to a religious experience.

[@ghostmourn]

The M60A1 is such a badass tank. What a beast, we have one parked nearby at an automotive museum and its impossible not to be impressed with its sheer girth up close

[@johninnh4880]

@@ghostmourn 52 tons of bad assery. I hit a 6" square, 3 times in a row at 1600 meters. I was shocked at just how accurate the main gun was with heat rounds.

[@s4ss.m8]

That breach is probably fkd man, they should close automatically. Hence why he moved his hands so quick

[@agtkilo03]

They do close most of the time but sometimes they stuck

[@johninnh4880]

@@agtkilo03 Thanks for the clarification. The M68 breach is under a strong spring load. In no way will the breach fail to close and can FU your hand if you are not careful. It closes with AUTHORITY!

[@kevinjohanson5718]

Best job i ever had… yes its cliche, but holds true. Loved my tank.

[@malakis69]

I think MG and the mechs need to take a look at that breech…

[@pwayne3580]

Nah, TC just needs to motivate an unmotivated specialist. An “UP!” would have been obliged.

[@frealms]

[@charleswaits1132]

They sound good!!

[@charleswaits1132]

It’s a different feeling when it’s OUR country!

[@Nonyobiz]

Man, imagine seeing an Armored Brigade Combat Team of 80+ Abrams main battle tanks coming at you... now imagine an Armored Division of 200 Abrams...

[@vincentxavier1317]

👍

[@qball8437]

Imagine seeing this COMMIN AT YOU!!! the ground is shaking........dood

[@trumpsaid3550]

SALUTE! ❤ 🤍 💙

[@philosotree5876]

Yeah, but the description puts a damper on the whole thing when you're reminded of the absolutely deplorable hypocrisy of our support of the dictatorship in Egypt.

[@ghostmourn]

@0:45 its so beautiful 🥲

[@ruvanefriebus-cv6td]

What's up monke

[@nickstonehenge]

[@ReveredDead]

Loader is too fucking slow. Gotta ram that shit in less than 7 seconds.

[@pwayne3580]

Loader is asleep and unmotivated.

Russia, Sweden, and china has better tanks

[@browsebywire4096]

Russia, bro? U serious? China is full of as much hot air as Russia, so whatever China claims on paper likely isn't real. And Sweden, what do they have, a modified Leapard 2? The Abrams is comparable to any European tank, and has seen far more combat. If anyone has a better tank it's the Merkeva with Trophy on board, but the modernized Abrams has been getting Trophy as well.

[@ReveredDead]

Haha Russian tanks? Like the ones that see their turrets blow off and fly 50 feet into the air? Hahahahahahaahahah better tanks??? Hahahaha
