wow that could have been messy if the tank driver missed his braking marker!

Considering those things weigh tens of tons and carrying the momemtum they do getting that bad boy to stop in that distance is pretty bloody impressive TBH!!

One of the blokes has a quick look, I can only imagine he's making the decision on whether to run or not.

I've had a few blasts in some WWII M4 Shermans of various guises. Good fun if you get the chance. Even the WWII tanks can be nippy. Most of them have derated aircraft engines: Shermans are mainly Radial aviation engines, except the Multibank which is basically 5 Chrysler truck engine grafted onto a shared crankcase...yes that's FIVE 4.1 litre 6 cylinder engines, making a 20litre 30cylinder engine.

I had a spin in a multibank (one of only a few in running in the UK/EU)...Only 450 odd bhp though but it was still fairly nippy.

....brakes aren't so good though

Me too but we knocked them back with CR1/2 . Talking of Fally, I wish my brakes had worked as well when my driver put me in the peat bog on Bergen/Hohne near the Hitlerhof.

I'll dig the picture out, it's not good viewing.

Even though the Leopard is lighter than many MBT's, it's still an impressive display.

It went wrong badly when my driver missed the brake, me shouting "RIGHT STICK YOU C*NT!" and he didn't listen.
