Yes - we did not have it on the M60A1 or A3s plus the M1IPs and we did just fine with these tanks in desert environments and in South Korea. At least on the M1A1 we could turn on the overpressure system and this would help out.

Jup, the NBC system works.
But nowadays an air condition is not really an expensive item and it just helps you staying comfortable and showing the infantry that you deserve such luxury.
It is not a have to but a logical, cheap and easy upgrade for countries having constant high temperatures during summertime.

I used get a kick at how many infantry used to hang out at the rear of the M1 series due to the heat from the exhaust, also during evening times if we were not on manuvers they would ask to sleep on the back deck of the tanks to keep warm. I agree with you that we have reached a time with armor that all tanks should have AC, even the Russians are doing it.Jup, the NBC system works.

I hope you haven't gave them the best place on your tanks aka the back deck!

You are going to think that I am crazy, but I actually had a West German tankers sleeping bag, you know the universal style that could be turned into a parka, I would get in this and actually sleep near my TC`s override in a sitting position while the driver slept in the drivers position and my gunner and loader slept on top of the turret. The older I get though, the more I wish I hadn`t done that.I hope you haven't gave them the best place on your tanks aka the back deck!

That's why I loved the old M113, as useless a piece of it as it may be operationally. Plenty of room in the back to stack packs, "ech" bags etc against the bench seats and you've got 2 lovely "single beds" in the back, whilst grunts are lying in the ground...
If only they'd let me wear the "knee high" polished Black leather boots and Afrika Corps hat on exercise when I became a crew commander, I would have been one happy chappy... I might not have discharged either...

The best sleeping vehicle I ever slept in was a M113 in the medic version. REAL BEDS AND FEMALE MEDICS!!!! :nutkick
(Okay, they looked like human gavins but definitely better than my 110kg/195cm loader )

Fellas, can we not continue the discussion about women in this fashion.
I'm not a prude, and I would guess that a lot of us have been around the block, but there is no need to bring attention to it.
can you please sort out and edit your own posts appropriately and limit these reminisings to PM's

Ah, but we were "recon" by then, meaning you grunts had to find your own way about the battlefield...
Going recon equaled = "jackies galore"... It got to the point where our boss issued an order that we were only to bring 1x ech bag each on ex...

Time to drag this thread out and give it a dusting ...
So ... we brought in one tank for trials on June 7 ...
So ... we brought in one tank for trials on June 7 ...
And we liked it so much, we bought another 36!
Just a re-cap, the initial purchase was for 96 tanks ... 66 + 30 "spares". This additional purchase will bring the total purchased to 132. Interesting way of categorising 30 of these purchases as spares, so that in future press releases they need not be mentioned anymore.
Not exactly....
36 + along with a few more spares.
If the few more spares are 12, then it will be 3x of.........
