Well, I've got the black-hatted boyfriend working on this one now ...

He tells me that it's also a "rear sproket (or some such wording)" as well ... (I guess that was a hint for me the asshole  )

My google-fu is beginning to piss me off - that means it's time to shower and hit Griffins. Ugghhh ... back to work from leave on Monday - perhaps someone will have figured it out by then ...

 

[NavyShooter]

Bah!

My google-fu will be challenged when I get my daughter home from the range.  Time to go shooting!

Experimental APC? That could be some sort of ramp on the front.

Wiesel (I) armoured weapons carrier ?

 

[ironduke57]

No.

AFAIK it was only a testbed.

I throw in the towel.

Nothing of the things we know yield anything in Google.

1800 HP.... modern MBTs seem to cluster around the 1200/1500 mark and  1800 is over 3 times what the powerplant in a stock M41 - sucker must've been fast if it could be made to work.

Was it a testbed for powerplants?  Gas-turbine or hybrid, maybe?

 

[ironduke57]

Normal 12 cylinder Diesel. At the 22t (metric) overall weight it good an power to weight ratio of 82hp per t. (Leo2 A4 27hp/t).

Was there a bridge attaches to it at one time?

 

[ironduke57]

Unlikely.

Well I am stumped and all my AFVmaniacs are stumped  ???

 

[ironduke57]

Okay then. Should I post the answer?
