Flying Tanks thread, split from Ok, I have some questions. (Please dont just tell me to read the FAQ)

I thought I was braced but head thought differant and I had 13 stitches in chin (5 inside 6 outside)

must have been quite a hit, because that math doesn't quite add up  ;D

What?!?! You were wearing a helmet?  Craziness!!!  What year was that?? You must have been the "nerd" of your gang.  We never wore helmets back in the day!!

funny you should mention that, for the 113 no helmet. for the Grizzly I had it on as I was on Ex doing a road move to get the vehicle back to maint. I just didn't bother to take it off and am happy I didn't. The back of the drivers seat ( that it goes up and down on ) would of hurt even my head.

And don't forget about finding a deep water puddle and ensuring that wall of water makes its way all the up and into the turret.

Buddy of mine did that with a T-LAV, had to drop the ramp to let the water out.

Your post reminded me of this accident where the driver didn´t closed his hatch, before driving in that hole: ;D

Hmm... is that a AD turret on the Leo chassis?

That would be a Gepard.  It has better battery storage than the Leopard.   ;D

Cheetah has a different radar, if I remember correctly.

Cheetah is the Dutch Variant.
