Seems the Iranian team is not having a good day in Tank Biathlon... That's bad right?
http://is2.4chan.org/k/1565165404327.webmIts a time race with a staggered start
Start with a Slalom
Then 3 main gun rounds at a tank target at 1600, 1700 and 1800 meters
Lap of the track
Pintle mounted hmg to shoot a helicopter target at 800-1000 meters
Lap of the track
Use coaxial machine gun to hit a man sized target at 600-800 meters.
Finale lap and finish
Crews must fully dismount before shooting and then load the ammo into the tank
Missing targets adds extra length to the lap after shooting.
Some sections of the course have black and white posts that if hit, have a stop for a 10 second penalty
All hatches must be closed for firing excluding HMG of course (some crews seem to forget this alot)
Crews do get a reserve tank in case of complete mechanical failure
On that last note, some of them need it. There's been some pretty epic fails this year so far...
Several African nations running the tanks in high gear and getting stuck or destroying the engine
Myanmar crashing into a ditch
Iran burning their tank down after forgetting to reopen the air intake after a water crossing
Zimbabwe stopping an having an ambulance attend them (chat guessed a hand got pinched by an auto loader but nothing serious)
Zimbabwe some how opening the bottom hatch below the driver while traveling at 40 km/h
Sudan doing a reverse Iran and not closing the air intake covers and completely flooding a T-72
Cuba going one better than both and flooding their tank and then on the next lap with their reserve tank they flooded that one as well
And even better Sudan did the same thing in the same race all while dragging it out to 58 minutes (average time is 20 min, Russian and Chinese normally hit 17 mins)
And we all thought Girls und Panzer was a bad idea.
