Re: Soviet tank crew survival.
"M60 is much more survivable than T-72. M60 has quite large internal volume, so there is a quite good propability that penetrating hit will not hit stored ammo or other dangerous (for crew) parts."
Twenty something rounds are stored in the front of the hull (and close to the glacis plate for that matter) on each side of the driver position.An other twenty something are in the turret in the ready racks and in the rear of the turret.That does not sound very survivable to me.
