Ukrainians seem to have some comfy AFV aftermarket tank customization.
Post your favorite comfy tanks.
>>27843083
There's nothing comfy about slavic apcs.
The back door is literally the gas tank.
Nope nope nope etc.
>>27843711
Plug and fill with cement we composite armor now.
>>27843083
Playboy foldouts taped to the fuel-tank-hatches with no view of the shitty cramped interior is considered comfy?
>>27843083
MFW I'm in my comfy tank
>>27843711
Looks like somebody doesn't understand Soviet armor doctrine.
>>27844855
A nearly empty fuel tank is actually more likely to explode than a full one. 10% full is optimum IIRC.
Enjoy your firey death trap.
>>27844217
The steel/diesel/steel does works as composite armour.
>Particularly against shaped charges, large depths of a mildly resistant liquid are an excellent protection mechanism, with actually a higher resistance per unit weight of material than steel gives, diesel fuel having about 3.1 times as much resistance per unit weight as steel.

>>27843711
OP's pic related is an Mt-Lb.
gas tanks are in the rear compartment. The guys getting a ride sit on gas tanks and lean against gas tanks.
The sloped armor you see is where the gas tanks are mounted to.
>How do i know?
>Mt-Lb/v (wider tracks) grease monkey here
>>27845380
So? In the Bradley the gas tanks are literally at head height if riding in the back.
Where else you going to put the damn things if you want to keep a compact design?

>>27846607
Fuck, those footrests look like a great way to take the skin off your lower shin and ankles when piling onboard.
>>27846572
>but doesn't putting a rug over the top of your ERA degrade its effectiveness?
Probably extremely slightly, the forces and speeds involved simply are not affected much by a bit of fabric.
>>27846621
Doesn't putting ERA under your rug degrade its comfyness value?
>>27846649
Not in my experience, ERA has slightly more 'give' than passive armour.
>>27843406
You have never ridden in a Torsion Bar now have you?
>>27846572
>yfw there are people riding on top while it's going over 50 mph over a bump.

This APC is comfy as fuck, and the crew look like good guys
>>27846717
>>27846688
The one with sound was even better, they have slav-beats blaring away at the same time.
>>27843083
"Ivan, shoot that APC"
"But Serguei, I can't, or I will be of destroying beautiful woman"
Brilliant strategy.
I like Leopards, they're like beautiful girls, look great no matter how you dress them up.
>>27846717
Comfy as fuck.
>>27846592

>>27845213
>with actually a higher resistance per unit weight of material than steel gives, diesel fuel having about 3.1 times as much resistance per unit weight as steel
now please compare the densities of both, tell me how thick the fuel compartment would have to be to stop any shell and tell me why you are spouting useless information
>>27846615
>>27846607
or something to get stuck in while the inside of the AFV is engulfed in fire
>>27846592

>>27846676
Why do you think the Russians are always riding on top? The interior is awful, short and cramped.
>>27846856

>>27846572
>doesn't putting a rug over the top of your ERA degrade its effectiveness?

and Sergey was ERA
>>27845160
The rear tanks are only supposed to be filled when on march, the common procedure during the Soviet era was to fill the rear tanks with sand prior to combat.
>>27845380
See above
>>27843406
>>27847341
That's because you're not a manlet, optimal height for Soviet mechanized infantry/tankers was 5'5". The Russians ride on top now because organization in the RGF has gone to shit compared to the USSR.
>>27846676
This guy knows.

>>27847362
>terrorist
>>27848018
Everyone is a terrorist when it comes to the IDF.
>>27847341
They ride on top because if the APC gets hit with an RPG or mine, they have a better chance of surviving than inside that death trap. Even the ass armor is actually there for comfier sitting on top of an APC.
>>27847362
M60's Ride Really High. in excess of 10ft tall actually and that was a base chassis who knows how tall the Israelis have the magach riding.
Just some perspective the M1 Abrams rides at about 8ft tall.
>>27846879
I get the WOT reference!
>>27847341
safer that way, if they drove on an IED the armor would most likely not hold up

Mt-Lb/v grease monkey here
You do realize there are no gas tanks mounted on Mt-Lb back doors? That was my point all along, the passengers use tanks as seats. It's the BMPs and such that have back door moubted gas tanks.
In my conscription all four gas tanks were also always filled up, in reply to the guy who said the backdoors would only be filled during marches.

1 MAG for the TC, 1 for the loader, and you can see cables running from the .50's trigger area, which probably indicate it can be fired remotely.

My preference is tanks that look like they've been to hell and back. I can just imagine how much the crew loves it for all the times it has kept them safe.

Some claim you can stuff half a platoon in there and its supposed to act as an apc, while others claim that you need to dump like 80% of your ammo and you can only fit 2-3 dudes in extreme un-comfort, with its main use meant to be evac when SHTF.
Anyone know about this?
>>27848911
The latter is true. It was confirmed by Merkgunner in the past. Pic related is in the "troop compartment" of a Merk 3.

You'd put the world to rights every night. We'd lie in the pitch black and talk about everything from the war and politics of it all, to what we'd do when we got home, to just random bizarre nonsense.
It was when you'd get up for a piss in the middle of the night, and you'd bump into someone also up. Two of you would stand and stare out at nothing and just talk in a low murmur about how everyone was feeling, how morale was, etc.
Lots of deep silences.
I miss it. It was the best time of my life, not for the hero shit, that was all nonsense, but life was so very simple when you were out there.
>>27848638
For some reason I thought we were talking about BMPs. I apologize, I was tired as fuck this morning.
>In my conscription all four gas tanks were also always filled up, in reply to the guy who said the backdoors would only be filled during marches.
That might be true for Finnish units, but according to the Warsaw Pact BMP crewmen (we are talking about BMPs, right?) I've spoken to, heading into combat with filled rear tanks was a big no-no.
Your job must be awesome! How do you like the MT-LB? I admittedly know little about them.

Tanks aren't used for riots. Lightly armored JEEP's and such are for Molotovs. Hamas and HEzballah have Kornets alright.
>>27849415
It's not meant to carry anyone in in a taxi way. This option is reserved to situations where you're already low on ammo (and as resolute have opened up some space) and there are wounded that need extraction- so the tank can take them when it goes to rearm.
>>27848935
I mean, you could fit a squad in there. It would suck, but they wouldn't need to worry about small arms fire so it does the job alright.
>>27850129
Not a myth. Only the implication of it being a Brit exclusive, now that's the myth. IIRC US Army liked it so much they copied the exact design and put it in their Brads and Abrams'

You don't remove the ammo for the sake of taxi. the idea was that when you run short/out, instead of saying "oh well, my job here is done" and that's it, the tank could still offer options on the field.
it's utilizing all that you got and seizing any opportunity. Squizing more juice than what the fruit has in it- and that's smart if you ask me.
>>27846572
