They had the most problems with Panther and Tiger, but otherwise, the recovery system was very effective. Until Late 1944 the Germans could repair up to 75% of their tanks. Ingame, repair times should probably be reduced for the sake of gameplay. This process, depending on the nature of the damage, can be performed in 15 to 30 minutes by a good crew. The solution would be just to do a light repair on the tank, just enough to get it working, but still requiring a trip to the repair depot after the battle.Īnyways, comments are welcome on the topic of recovery vehicles and damaged tanks. Ingame, repair times should probably be reduced for the sake of gameplay." Using the driver's track clamps, tighten and reattach the ends of the track, and torque tighten to finish. Replace the damaged link components using spare track, bolts, and pins carried on the tank.Ĥ.
'Break' the track by unscrewing the retaining bolts and/or removing the track pins using the driver's tools.ģ. Move the tank forward or backward as required to move the damaged track into an accessible position.Ģ. As long as a new transmission is present (carried to the repair site by the ARV), it looks like one to two hours work.Īs an active service tanker I am quite familiar with the process of replacing track links, which is a simple process as long as the automotive systems are still operable ġ. An M4 Sherman's transmission is replaceable under field conditions, as illustrated here. Happily, in both examples you are not correct. Transmission would require a trip to the repair depot. Either took an hour to several hours to repair a track depending on where it was hit and what was damaged. The biggest problem with adding recovery vehicles is the time is took to get a damaged tank back into action. Don't get me wrong, its better than having a destroyed tank, just wish there was a way to get a damaged tank back into action.
I know someone posted a thread on March 8th asking about recovery vehicles, but I was wondering if anything has changed about the idea in adding recovery/repair vehicles? Dead vehicles should remain dead vehicles, but what about vehicles that have a damaged transmission or track? I feel like its a waste to order a tank, it becomes disabled without doing anything (has happened before) and it can't move.
