[Bob Seijas]

Amen, "Hooked," amen. WHAT were the designers thinking with all those straight surfaces? Dumb, dumb, dumb. Hey, if we angle the turret and sides, they become thicker! Whooda thunk?

I think because hull and turret where cast? Is why the Sherman is rounded. On a side note on Utube under ( FSAvs SAA) there are tons of videos of the Syrian Rebels killing T55 and T72's with EASE.! you think the Sherman lite up like a Ronson....In one the Tank fires and while the breech is open for reload a teenager tosses a grenade down the barrel!!! Guess what happens next...

You guessed it Hooked!! Good job,, keep up the good work...

Does anyone remember the details of the video filmed by the tank crew of someone climbing out onto thier main gun to toss a grenade down it ? They waited till he got right up to the muzzle , then fired a round. After the smoke cleared , you could catch a glimpse of the body comming down , missing an arm , landing about 50-75 yards downrange . Chilling.

I've been just off the muzzle of an M1 when it fired a fin stab...shocking! I was down in a trench too...I can't imagine being up at the muzzle when he touches off.

Let's just say the noise was horrendous...Oh look! That Sherman has early reactive armour...
