can they play music in the tanks?

[rudeguy]

sorry if I am having Top Gun flashbacks...but I would be wanting to listen to some ac/dc or something hard if I was in one of those....can they bring some tunes or no?

 

[SgtBuddy]

no

 

[HappyPuppy]

If you were in a tank going into battle, the last thing you would want to listen to is music. There are far too many other things to occupy you.

 

[Bulk Beef]

More importantly, can you smoke?

 

[MacGaven]

Too many nerds here equate going to war with playing counter-strike on their computers.

Only if you take several direct hits.

 

[WhiteKnight77]

You couldn't hear it over the engine and other noise and I doubt you could smoke in a tank. Explosive material around.

They're going to war, not playing a video game.

I'm outta here.

M1A1 does about 45 mph.

 

[WhiteKnight77]

In the neighborhood of 45MPH for an M1 Abrahms. An M60 is around 40 IIRC. The M1 uses a turboshaft jet engine.

I'm back.

No, I was referring to the fact that your body would be smoking if your tank took several direct hits. Smoking any type of substance or listening to music in a tank going into battle would be frowned on.

How about in the back of a Bradley? I'd be smoking like a f-ing chimney, I can tell you that.

Surprise, buddy. No you wouldn't.

Forget AC/DC... just give me some A/C.

 

[Bulk Beef]

Guess I'd be walking then.

 

[SgtBuddy]

max ground level speed

M3 Bradly= 66kph
M3A1, 2, and 3 = 56kph

M1 Abrahms
Max Road Speed- 41 mph
Max Speed Country- 30 mph

 

[WhiteKnight77]

I see they have the newest camo scheme for the flak jackets, but still the same OD green duece gear that I used 20 years ago. :disgust:

 

[Anubis]

it would be cool if they could blast

Holtz - Mars The Bringer of War

Here is cool quote about it


"The full horror of mechanized warfare confronts us face to face in this bleakest of all tone poems. Its face is unrepentant, unrelenting and merciless and it offers us no hope of redemption. Thousands of pairs of jackbooted feet parade across the landscape, scurrying to their graves. Tanks pound cities into rubble. Bullets fly and bombs fall. Airplanes swoop low overhead. How surprising it is, then, to learn that Holst completed this piece long before the opening of the First World War, before the invention of the tank, before any plane had ever been fitted out to carry bombs, before the slaughter in the trenches, before the use of poison gas."

LOL! No doubt.

To answer your questions let me first say this. My cousin in the USMC was a tank platoon commander for 3 years until he rotated out of that MOS and was assigned to the Pentagon.

Can they play music? Yes. He said they commonly played music and the gunner in his command tank was a big fan of Disturbed and Pantera so they listed to that a lot.

How fast can they go? He wouldn't tell me exactly because that's classified, but he did tell me once that during war games in the California desert they were hitting targets between 2800-3000 meters away while they were doing over 60MPH.
