minus-squareulternolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·15 days agoIt really looked as if it won’t. Guess it’s just the camera angle. The tank looks much shorter (length) than in the diagrams too.
minus-squareJohnnyEnzyme@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 days agoHey folks, maybe this’ll help: https://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints-depot-restricted/tanks/tanks-a/arl_44_90mm-66769.jpg In the lower-left image, you can see that the turret rotates well behind the two, circular forward hatches. And of course, the main gun is well above the lookout’s head. @[email protected], @[email protected]
minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 days agoThat’s a LOT of gun. I just love those post-ww2 heavy tanks with their absurd proportions

minus-squareJohnnyEnzyme@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 days agoWhoopsie! Oh well, I’m happy to have added a little more context to the diagram, FWIW.
minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·15 days agoThe turret ring is WAY in front, so it basically rotates right along the edge, not bringing it forward much at all.
