osiris -> Tactical Driving with tanks (10/24/2012 8:39:35 PM)

HI

Doing some research on tanks..does anyone know if tank drivers/commanders get any kind of training on how to angle their armor of their tanks for maximum protection?

At 19E1/2 school at Knox in 1981, we did not receive such training. We did get "hull-down," "turret-down," and "vehicle-down" training, and it was made clear that we want to keep the front armor pointed at the enemy, but that was the extent of it. The main thing they tried to teach us was to avoid being seen (as if an M60 could be stealthy). Higher levels of training might have included such details, but I doubt it.

Well I know German tankcrews got training on how to set up their tank for maximum protection in WWII. There are leaflets they used to describe this.. there's a thread somewhere in the Panzer Command Ostfront subforum somewhere... can't find it though.

I think the idea was to angle their armour at 30 degrees to target number 1 while the gun aimed at target number 2.
