Dragon6g Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 3 of the pictures are of an RPG hitting the TC storage box. We didnt know what kind of RPG it was. We were thinking it was an RPG 7. Our S-2 was thinking it might have been an RPG 29. The rocket motor was found still in the sponcen box. We gave that up to S-2 but we never followed up to see what kind of RPG it was. There are two other pics that you can see something went through the skirts and the bottom of the turret. That was an EFP type IED. I have a bunch of better pictures of that one but cant tell you for sure if the skirt and turret armor is still TS or at the minimum classified so I aint going to be the one to put it on the Internet. But its the real deal out there in the Rakk your bound to see some good stuff or armor buffs. And to clear it up for Daskel the RPG hit was on a M1A2 v2 SEP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar19681 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Those pictures give me a hardon! I like the m1 tusk version but i guess the remote weapon station for the commander and loader never made it into the final tusk kit huh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon6g Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Not yet . We dont have it yet. But we got another 50 cal. On the tank. That pic of that cal 50. thats up, thats the “gunners” 50 cal ! So when we roll we are packing 2 50 cals and 2 M240s. Thats a lotof small arms fire power. Shes a bad bitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSnake79 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice pics.Surprised you would upload picks of damage though. Even if it only appears to be cosmetic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskal Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Nice pics.Surprised you would upload picks of damage though. Even if it only appears to be cosmetic.I've put it on because if you hit google or youtube you are able to find in 10 seconds much more pics and even videos of M1's getting wacked the same way. Hopefully it doesn't endanger anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAlienware Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Does the TUSK have the rear grill I've seen in (pre-production?) pictures? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daskal Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 How do you reload the new 50 Cal mounted on the gun? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon6g Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 You re load it when you get back to the FOB. its an anti-sniper weapon and not really to be used as a HMG. Hell a sniper will shoot your face off if you sit out there for 10 mins. and try to reload that thing out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolitionMan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The CSAMM is a very nice addition for the TUSK package. However, with no CROWS on the M1A2, the M1A1 TUSK has an edge as it features a thermal sight for the commander´s M2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankenator Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 If it takes you ten minutes to load an M2....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar19681 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 What about the infantry phone that is featured in the original tusk package? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon6g Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yea, we got the phone in back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskal Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 What about the infantry phone that is featured in the original tusk package? I thought I've heard that this idea was abandoned, since the temperature was extreme high due to the engine at back of the tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
