What are the requirements to make it into the tank Core or artillary when doing military service? Ive got to do mine and im just wondering =P

@killerjulien

I am off the army now for couple of years. When I joined in 1993 I had to take some tests (intellectual/handskills/civil driving licence mandatory) beforehand. At the conscription day the officer decided based on the results to put me in the tank unit. Not sure if it is still the same today. Switzerlan has a milicia so the army prefers to take people with civil skills for such units (like mechanicans/farmers (able to drive tractors) etc.

@Ferdinand1703 Nice! In that case i may end up in the Mess units, i plan to do Hospitality Uni first, then the service, so i may end up in the kitchens or organizing logistics. =P

The loader is only moving the round. Only with an empty breech. That or the soldier is reloading the mag that's it. The mag door is locked. When the gunner calls up a (Heat round or a sabot) the loader would be holding the wrong round. maybe other older tanks? but not a Leopard C2 that I know .And the Swiss don't mess up. I'm Canadian Armed forces.

@rimreeper rules can be different from army to army 

[lukthere2]

[Phyllocrania]

Sag mal...aus was besteht eigendlich die Übungsmunition? Das sind "Sabot's" bzw. Penetratormunition gegen andere Panzer oder? Aber ich glaub nicht, dass ihr da richtige Wolframgeschosse in den Hügel geknallt habt oder? Ansonsten netter Clip!

[swissguy848]

Ist das im Graubbünden?

[Ferdinand1703]

Hallo Swissguy,

es ist in Hinterrhein, direkt vor dem

San Bernadino Portal

[Mazzader]

Nein, in GrauBünden^^

Jo in der nähe von Splügen, beim Hinterrein.

Werde auch dann irgendwann dorthin versetzt, also Pz Sdt (Panzer Soldat).

Naja, hab erst 2 Wochen RS hinter mir :(

Really nice video.

I self served on a Leopard2 in sweden.

But one strange point, why is the loader holdning the ammunition while the tank is still moving? Yes, the loading goes faster but is it safe? The hatch is meant to be opened each time the loader reloads?

[Ferdinand1703]

Hi flugan

Rule is that the loader always have the next ammo ready to reload as fast ast possible, even when moving. Correct would be the hatch closed and always opened/closed for new ammo. However it is too slowly so it is a habit (lack of discipline :-) to keep it open.

btw. even with the practise above we do not load that fast it is more a question of film-editing.Btw. many colleagues of mine served on Leo II in Sweden.

Regards from Switzerland.

I agree, it is a great vid.

By the time I served on the Leopard 2 here in Austria, it mostly depended on

- combat situation (how much resistance is expected over the next ridge)

and

- the order of the tank commander

if ready rounds (alway one at hand) should be loaded, or the "safe" way.

Although our loaders always (!) closed the blast door after they loaded the gun, or got their second round, otherwise they would have been in big trouble ;)

[MacMarcko]

YEAH!!! Feuer!!! Voll Treffer, Ziel verstört! :)
