Put on your thinking caps now and impress Sarge with the top three tanks from each of 1939, 1940 and 1941.

1939/40:

S39 (The French Somou thing with the 47mm, whatever it was called - or am I thinking of the Renault R35?) :)
Japanese Type 97
Matillda II

YMMV

Yes the S35 Somua was a very well designed tank for it's time and deserves more mention. Quite awsome for 1940.:)

I still think that a more heavily armed/armoured T-35 would make a great tank.

i still think that the commander would have a imposseble job

mkIV was the best all around tank imo.

Not if he was competent.

It's not like people have to be ordered to do EVERYTHING they do.

"Driver, go forward" :p

"Driver, Stop, Gunners, target and open fire."

"Scotty! We need more power!"

I really don't think it'd be that hard, probably if you had them train together, sleep in the same building, the same way you do infantry squads, they'd work together as a cohesive team.

Man, by your tehory screamer I'd hate to be the captain of a ship.



Hades -> (7/12/2002 1:38:12 AM)

I agree with screamer, it would be hared to control. A captain of a ship as many subordinates to help carry out the commands, while a tank commands does it all by him self while watching for threats, while shooting his mg. I think it would be hard, though what you said about them working as a team, might work its still alot of work.



G_X -> (7/12/2002 6:43:18 AM)

Well then, how many guys are in a T-35? I believe it's what, 11?

1 Tank Commander (Sarge) Would be in charge and would make all the command decisions, IE the Captain of a boat.

2 Secondaries (Corprols or Sarges) These could act as scouts, would also take position as Commander's MG gunners, Similar to a Master Chief or Commander IE First mates ;)

The driver(s) would simply report directly to the Commander, while the Gunners and such would report to the Secondaries, who would have charge of gunning (Similar to the way gunnery on a real Battleship works, the captain doesn't say "Fire!" ;))

And all the little nitpicky organization things, loaders would simply just report to their respectiver Gunners...

Chain of Command on a Micro-scale, it'd be pretty easy to pull off, especially if you trained them all together as one team, and housed and treated them the same way Infantry units are.

Infantry units are of similar sizes and have to work together as a cohesive team, and sometimes end up more spread out than a Tank Crew. I don't really think if the proper training procedures were used and you had a competent commander you'd have that much of a problem coordinating 10 other guys to work together.

T-35 crew possitions were as follows,
1) Commander - In main turret, responsible for overall command of the vehicle, also helped load main gun and fired DT main turret MG.

2) Commander of main turret - In main turret, 76mm gunner.

3) Senior Radio Operator - In main turret, 76mm gun loader, radio operator.

4) Commander of #2 turret - In front 45mm gun turret, 45mm gun loader.

5) Commanders Assistant - In front 45mm gun turret, 45mm gunner.

6) Tank driver - In front MG turret (#3 turret), MG gunner, also responsible for engine performance.

7) Commander of #4 turret - In rear 45mm gun turret, 45mm gunner.

8) Junior Tank Driver - In rear 45mm gun turret, 45mm gun loader.

9) Commander of #5 turret - In rear MG turret, MG gunner

10) Junior Tank Technician - In steering compartment, driver

There were also two other men that were considered part of the crew but were not in the tank. They were Mechanics that traveled with the maintenance units.

11) Senior Tank Driver - Responsible for transmission and running gear.

12) Motor Mechanic - Responsible for engine.

Hope this helps!!;)

It does, to me that doesn't look at all that hard to command.


Thanks Kevin!
