Soviet tank crew survival.
Russian T-54 to even the T-80 and especially the T-72 are not famous for crew survival.
An American tank commander stated that durring the 1991 Iraq War, "The only Iraqi tankers that survived the battle were those that abandon their tanks before they were hit."
He also went on to state that there was a flaw in the Russians tank design. EVERY time they were hit the ammo and fuel exploded usually blowing the turret off and killing the entire crew.
My question is, if this is true then why is my digital battlefield overrun with FULL STRENGTH Iraqi tank crews.
The survival number for a T-72 is now 4. IMHO it should be lowered to 1 or 2.
