That's proper tank porn, d_Guy!  :D

Does the Black Panther have to lower it's gun barrel to reload?

Also, what's the point of firing off your smoke grenades, then charging through them? This is war, not a Broadway show!

It has an auto-loader so lowering the barrel probably simplifies that process, claims 10 rounds per minutes so doesn't seem to slow it down that much ;)

From what I know about it it is so the barrel can be wet swabbed to quench any smoldering wadding before introducing the powder scoop.

Always do the unexpected in war - I play solo and am forced to do the unexpected to my opponent at all in times in a game.
(If my hair knew what I was thinking.....). It never works of course.

Actually I thought charging through the smoke was a psychological ploy. Need bugles and pipes however for full effect.

I love the voice on this film.

I think the artistry of selecting the last two was skillfully done, fsn. The swept angle of the bow in the vertical position then being reprised by the angle of the B36 wings in the horizontal position! Nicely done!

Sorry - I should have explained that this was one of your early posts!  I am restudying them for hidden meaning and insights into the working of Runcorn.

Yes, the narrator's voice is interesting. I use such narration to learn to speak with a proper accent in the unlikely event I meet denizens of the forum face-to-face. Today I worked on "here" and "appear" which I believe I can now credibly pronounce. The best part of the film was when they  proxied a bottle of Guinness for an Italian or German aircraft, suspended it from a wire and then shot it down! Ripping good stuff!

Most people in Runcorn sound like that Narrator.

Then should I ever visit I shall fit right in!
(Although based on other intelligence, if I were to speak that way in Runcorn I likely would receive a d**n good bashing!)

So why don't you talk like that when I speak to you, Nobby ?.....Or is that your 'speaking to Techno,' phone voice ?

Cheers - Phil.  :D
