the gun. If my memory serves me right when the loader
activated the elevation uncouple the gun returned to zero elevation
so that the gun was always level in relation to the turret.
Once the gun was rearmed it would return to the alignment of
the sights.The_Chieftain: OK, apparently this happens only when the gun is in
depression. (Which is handy, since in such a case the breech would
be way high and difficult to load). In elevation, it locks the gun
in position. One chap reminded me of a practice we used to do on
the ready line at the gun range, max-elevate the gun and scan for
targets without aiming at them. We did the same thing in Iraq, to
scan crowds without looking too threatening.
