What a Tanker thread

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Does the encyclopedia give a list of useful things for the rest of the crew to do whilst the gunner is hand-cranking the turret? I would reckon to microwave a portion of "Oat-so-simple" porridge in that time, but I'm not sure if M10s were kitted out with microwaves. Or a fridge for the milk.

[levied troop]

The M10A1 had cable TV.

Mind you, it was a long cable.

The kind of vehicle you’d need when picking Gaynor up for a date

[Norman D. Landings]

Open topped. Easy to hose down afterward.

[goat major]

Or to insert the Hoover

[FreddBloggs]

I thought the reason M10s were faster than shermans was that the armour was so light you could throw a rock at it and get a dent or penetration?

[Jeremy]

Agreed, that’s why it’s armour 4 vs armour 6 on a Sherman

[Buff Orpington]

Crews were known to weld on bits of armour from other tanks. Just the thing to use up all those spare hatches in your bits box.

[Norman D. Landings]

I reckon they welded heavy crap onto the turret to mess with the chump who had to hand-crank it.

A triple dose today!
Two Stuarts vs a Stug - we nibbled him, my Stuart got the kill.
Then we took on a Pz IV - more nibbling, this time my oppo finished him.
Then I ran a KV 2 vs two Pz IIIs - they nibbled me!
I cheated the inevitable by bottling out before explodication occurred.
