88 Gunners wet dream.

TEN halftracks in the open, as long as you had HE rounds. AP would just fly thru and keep on going.

For some reason, it reminds me of our old bad joke for a fire command in the M551 Sheridan; "Gunner!... Missile!.. School bus front!"

Yep, wild kids with serious weaponry.

No, we would never have shot a school bus.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet.
I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
