--- Quote from: john k on August 09, 2021, 09:39:57 AM ---The 105mm gun is the same as on the M-60 tank.  Above the gun tube is a hydraulic cylinder that takes up the recoil, inside the tank is still an awesome shock.  Can see from the videos the gun mount is well insulated, but darn, is still bolted into aluminum.

John,  It's actually a M102 105mm towed Howitzer, not quite the gun out of the M60 series tank.

john k:
Ah, different gun, but the same shell?   Looks the same when you see the air crew reloading.   The shell is a handful, inside a cramped tank turret too.  The aiming system,  must be interesting, with the pinpoint accuracy the are recieving.  Thanks for the update.

Shells are different too

Yeah those Gunships & Crews are something else for putting rounds on target Accurately.

Arty: straight
Tank: reduced neck
