minus-squareulterno@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·13 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-up3·13 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]
