Vehicle recovery

[Weasel]

Im agreeing with all the mechanical fixing stuff but if a vehicle is just stuck there might be chance that it can get itself out without the crew getting out, just rocking back and forth to climb the bank or shift some ground etc.

Bags not to be the one who gets out under fire to do repairs.:whis:

I actually did this. We were on a live battle run and we had just jockeyed position when my crew commander called for a forward hard left. Well I did as he asked and ended up with one track six feet down touching the ground, and the right track six feet in the air and the tank was on a pivot point. He drove me into a hull down position from the drop off end. I heard my gunner telling him "that isn't his fault, he can't see what is 5 feet in front of him"(blind spot extends to about 15 feet in front). Anyway, we were stuck and thought we were out of the battle run but then I said screw it. I floored the pedal and starting shifting gears from reverse to forward without letting off on the gas. That bitch was jumping all over the place but after a few minutes the track finally dug in enough to move us forward. Glad it was a loaner tank from the Lord Strathacona's because I am sure that transmission was toast.
