T110's Northern Migration

The_Chieftain: Chieftain was one of the first tanks to have a suppline driver's position. Someone figured out that there was actually no requirement for the driver to sit vertically, and with smaller power trains, it was the driver's head which was resulting in the tank hull being as high as it was. If the driver lies back, things get much more compact. As a result, you'll find reclining driver positions to be pretty much standard nowadays.   I've the Type 90 model myself, with the mine-roller. I found it to be quite a good kit, actually.
