Notice how a significant portion of what appears to be the engine
compartment extends over the tracks? What's inside that? I highly
doubt it would be engine bits. Volk was also noting how they don't
appear to be there in the original plans.

look up the operator's manual. If there's anything in there, I
presume it'll say.

make things worse, evidently decals don't like my water, as it took
over a minute for the decal to separate after I immersed it in
water. But I was finally able to get them onto my IS-3
Now to let them dry.The_Chieftain: I've become quite the believer in Microsol and Microset for
positioning decals and getting them to settle tightly against the
surface. Can't do anything much about having to soak them for a
long while to release, though.

243 pen at 1k is still pretty amazing.The_Chieftain: DTIC has a number of documents on the 120mm penetration. I
saw 19.5" for one round, as I recall. HVAP, though, if memory
serves.

RPM of the M103? When was the M469 HEAT-T issued?The_Chieftain: I strongly suspect, that in a similar manner to many other
tanks, the real limitation on ROF is the engagement process of the
gunner/TC, not how long it takes to shove a round into a tube. That
said, I see little reason why 6-7 should not be feasible for
the loaders for as long as the ready racks are filled.

final word in giving the ok or not right? If you truly do have
ultimate authority in what WG, then it's fine, cool. But if not,
then this is what gets some people to want to bring your apparent
ego down some pegs. Even though WG takes your proposals seriously,
they still inquire into them and give the ultimate OK. I wouldn't
want to word statements that make it sound as if you dictate
everything from the top down regarding future developments, unless
that is indeed the case.The_Chieftain: Well, they certainly keep asking me for my opinion, and it
rarely goes anywhere. That said, I'm fairly confident that the days
of the T25/2 are numbered.
