...and that's why I'm not a tanker.

On a side note, has the M1 truely been tested in combat? The M1 absolutly kicked a$$ in gulf War 1. I think (my memory is rusty) only 14 or so M1s were lost in GW1, and most of those had their tracks blown off from a mine. There was that one M1 tank that took a direct hit from a T-72 (funny story, the M1 parked infront of th T-72 to take a break ) at point blank range the tank commander had a ringing in his ears, but the tank didn't catch fire.- the crew survived.

What I'm asking is: would the M1 fair as well against a real opponent that knows how to fight tanks.:hmm:
