We meet up with Scott Rickard of Battlefield Vegas to get an in depth look at the Syrian T-62 that they restored. In Part 1, we do a walk-around of the vehicle and talk about specifics of the development and history of this specific tank. In Part 2, we get inside of the T-62 and find out what it would have been like to be a crew member on this tank. This is Part 2 of 2.

Absolutely fascinating. Ergonomically, t-62 seems remarkably spacey for a soviet era tank. Funny how it took a mechanical need (bigger 115mm single piece shells) to get some proper legroom in a soviet tank.

Beale Air Force Base has a T-55/54 on display and you were able to climb inside on certain days which was cool. The T-55/54 was captured during the 1991 Gulf War, but after that guy who stole a M-60 tank running over cars motorhome freeway divider before be killed by police. Well after that bullshit the Base commander order weld the crew hatch's closed so no one can start in up to steel, but there was no engine inside the tank anyway.

If the loader is situated to the right he must handle the ammo with the left arm. Most people are stronger in the right arm. Why did the soviets choose to place the loader to the right

Soviets want their gunners to the left of the gun. Why? I have no sources, but I suspect it makes aiming the main gun (especially handling bore offset) more intuitive for right handed gunners. Loading efficiency be damned. With autoloading tanks, it's OK. With manually loaded tanks, it's not worth it IMO. But the worst thing by far on these Soviet tanks is the lack of a turret basket. Walk along the moving turret or risk getting your limbs crushed against the hull.
