From http://thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.my/2015/12/t-62.html

"The T-62 had a nifty automatic shell casing ejection system. As mentioned before, the interior of the tank is quite cramped, and a few dozen hot brass casings rolling around for the loader to trip over wasn't really desireable, to say the least. Apparently, during early testing of Object 166, cannon fumes accumulating in the fighting compartment were twice higher than the acceptable standard. The culprit was evidently the spent shell casings, which when ejected from the tank immediately after firing, slashed the concentration of fumes by half in addition to saving the crew the trouble of manually throwing them out every now and then."

IIRC, one of those Graviteam games models the T-62 pooping out spent casings as it fires.

IIRC those Soviet auto-loaders had a habit of loading crew members every so often.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

What are the front and side armor values for an AT-ST? Would it be RHA, face-hardened, or ceramic composite? I don't see any evidence of ERA either.

That PaK crew's best bet would be to go for a mobility kill.

What gets me is they're totally out in the open... bald-assed prairie exposure. Nothing to break up the outline... something off camera?
