Description says it all: YouTube link I'm sure we have some tankers that can relate. No one know how to play with tanks better than the Ruskies! Enjoy Wolfhag |

Fun to watch. Wouldn't want to clean up after them. Also wouldn't want to let them run over my toes either. Also enjoyed one of the linked videos that run down the side. It is all sorts of improvised "tanks", APCs, AFVs, etc. YouTube link |

The bottom line seems to be, don't try to load your tank onto a transporter |

…and don't park your car near a Russian tank. |

It's called a measuring tape…. |

In the video from 4:26 to 4:52 is why pivoting and neutral turns can break down and throw a track. Notice the cobblestones that pile up on top of the track and get pulled into the drive sprocket. Imagine that on a soft rocky ground with a more fragile WWII tank. Wolfhag |

Why you are supposed to use sober ground guides |

Actually, many WWII tanks couldn't make neutral turns like their later cousins. Still, they could throw tracks with ease. |

Yes, folks forget that the thirty plus tons hardware their models represent all ride on a succession of plates held together by what is basically a long bolt no thicker than your pinky finger, a nut and a fender washer…..put too much stress on one side and your going to spend a couple of back breaking hours with Mr. Sledgehammer.
