Situation: not great
Could be better
I’d even go so far as to say there’s a bit of a situation here.
Less than ideal for sure
There must be someone reading this who is familiar with tanks, how much of a problem is this? I’ve got no idea what it would take to unfuck this situation.
It’s certainly not something where the manual says you should attempt a field repair. Chances are, they did it anyway, though and fucked it up even more.
Shouldn’t you break the track in a few places and remove it? Or is that not a thing anymore?
It’s already broken in one spot, bottom right
Wouldn’t dragging this mess onto a transporter be more work than fixing it in the field though?
Not when you have an M88.
But normally this would be fixed in the field. The enlisted are going to have a bad day with breaker bars.
Based on what I’m seeing in the background, i suspect this is back in garrison near the tank ramp and not out in the field or on deployment.
I’ve seen track get thrown, and had to help fix it, but jesus christ i’ve never seen track get this badly fucked up outside of a tank finding a buried 155mm round the hard way.
At least there ought to be plenty of mechanics nearby to help unfuck the track, and someone to remind the driver to stop quickly if they’ve thrown track.
Just stick a pencil in one of the cogs and wind it back.
How did you get the beans above the frank?
With skill.
Yeah that could be better.
You’d describe it as optimal, then? 🤔
