Spinelli_ck 6th Gear October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I rep my unit back in 94 for the top gun event. I was the tank gunner. i believe you were using the SM1 tank back then. how accurate was the main gun when you fired on the move? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged October 27, 2014 Author Share October 27, 2014 i believe you were using the SM1 tank back then. how accurate was the main gun when you fired on the move? SM1 cannot do fire on the move. what we do is short halt firing if we need to return fire on the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavver 4th Gear October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 And our OCS guys training in germany. Missed the days of sand table and table-top activities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Last time I also got do using the m113 But M113 manoeuvre is tougher cos its using the pivot steering (2 sticks type), whereas Leopard is using a squarish steering wheel. Anyway M113 is very old machine liao, but nonetheless, a very reliable one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavver 4th Gear October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Me ?!?! Ok, The person sitting on top of the tank, male or female ? Can't see clearly. Hmm.... Is a girl called LTA Ann But M113 manoeuvre is tougher cos its using the pivot steering (2 sticks type), whereas Leopard is using a squarish steering wheel. Anyway M113 is very old machine liao, but nonetheless, a very reliable one. Pre-SM1 era AMX 13 is the worst... Manual Trans + Bike handle steering.

macrosszero Turbocharged October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I can only see the ground being damaged. Who is going to pay for it ?? Leopard 2 has rubber pads on its tracks and all its laying down is rubber - at least until the track pads come flying off. A good monsoon downpour will wash the rubber away. You want to complain about RSAF Black Knights burning away "your" JP-9 during aerobatics display, or the SAF shooting up fireworks paid with "your" money during National Day or not? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 SM1 cannot do fire on the move. what we do is short halt firing if we need to return fire on the move. I remember during Wallaby, a lot of SM1s will breakdown or stuck somewhere.... Dun know why. The M113s dun really have much problems and can all make it back to 'Rose Garden'.

For many of us that was the first plane ride!

Must go into airport via back gate late at night like smugglers, waited along the fence for hours and got to release oneself against the airport fence (which must have rusted very quickly)..... the way our NSFs are treated compare to how the US citizens treat their soldiers are very different. That is why I always make it a point to thank our soldiers for their service whenever I attend a SAF organized events like AOH. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
