Meanwhile in Russia…

Hello everyone,

this was linked by Yuri Pasholok on his blog – changing the vehicle tracks seems really easy on the video and not the pain in the ass it is in real life.

  1. Damn that is an impressive artillery piece from the looks of it, anyone know which it is?

    It’s in amazing shape too, man I wish I was Russian and in the army lol

  2. One thing is doing it on concrete in an army base, another is doing it while stuck in several feet of snow and bogland, with the lost belt nowhere near lined up with your vehicle.
    I’ve spent anything from 15 minutes to 5 hours putting a belt back on. It’s very dependant on the conditions you’re doing it in, what kind of extra help you get and how exhausted the crew allready is.

    On another note. How un-stronk these russians are! Three men to guide the track back over the return rollers? We used two, sometimes even one. :P

    • Exactly. The real thing weighs a lot. You really can’t have a feel for it until you try to just lift one track link.

      Then again – I liked working on the tracks. Always got volunteered after I said that out loud….

      That is because you belong to the aryan “master” race…

  3. Panzerhaubitze 2000 says hi with a 10R/M ROF. Dat would be so much fun in WoT. Like current FV304 >.>

  4. “Comrade Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovsky,I am afraid that the top secret delivery of artillery piece #87 to Ukraine must be delayed due to maintenance issues”.

  5. well there is another version of this, The Koalitsya-S, that has two of theese guns with even higher ROF for each…
