    Those explosives look little different from an anti-personnel grenade. Is it going to do anything more than scratch the paint on a tank?

    A shaped charge needs to be presented to the target at a particular orientation for it to work properly.

    WTF? 75lb track pads? The rubber blocks that you replaced once a month? 75lbs each? We must have gotten cheap crap made in China...ours were 6lbs a piece. T158 Track pads.

    Jesus, I would not want to go through having a tank drive over my position like that guy did. I much enjoyed being the fellow in the tank
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

    No big deal if the tank doesn't do a pivot steer over the hole.

    Did it a bunch of times at FT Knox, FT Benning, Bonnland in Hammelburg just to name a few.

    At that range with my 95 mph fastball, that parachute better deploy real quick.

    That would be ~18,5m. Doesn't sound like much. Is there anything I miss?
