As you would expect driving a tank is unlike driving anything else...
What did you get up to?
I arrived at the venue and was told I could explore their museum whilst I waited for my turn. The museum has such a vast collection of military vehicles and memorabilia worth exploring.
After a brief and friendly introduction it was off to get kitted out. Then I had a long practice run in the tank, which included the following:
1. Driving the tank with both the driver’s hatch open and closed, looking through the driver’s optical periscope. While I was the driver, my battle comrades watched the view through the open turret hatches.
2. Aiming the gun at dummy vehicles with targets painted on them by the rotation of the turret and vertical movement of the gun.
3. Pressurising the gun, loading and firing when the person aiming calls ready.
We then had a cup of coffee and talked strategies before the battle commenced!
As you would expect driving a tank is unlike driving anything else and worth trying for that experience alone. With the element of a one on one tank battle this brings even more fun to the experience.
What did you enjoy the most?
I really enjoyed the whole experience from the team bonding to the battle! The museum is also not something to be overlooked!
