Well, isn’t this thing interesting: https://www.qinetiq-na.com/wp-content/upl…

Not saying it is a sonobouy, just that it would be the right size (and thus be the same size as a sonobouy dispenser. That size is a standard for class of gear.

Looks about the right size for an air-dropped Sonobouy. The AN/SSQ-47B is 36.00 inches (91.44 cm) long 4.875 inches (12.4 cm) diameter

The need to use the “professions” isn’t used throughout the series, only in those places where it serves a function. It does serve that function and IMHO, contributes greatly to the mysterious qualities that hooked me in the story. As Andrew says, it works.

It would have to have video monitors, although from the front view of the tank you can see periscopes for three crew on the front slope.

I was an M1 tanker, once upon a time, we had fairly good periscopes for each station, in particular the commander's cupola. However, the difference between your ability to know…

A large secondary autocannon, another secondary vulcan cannon in a completely automated turret is the "simple design"? I don't think so.

Pershings in Poland may make them reconsider

They are multifuel. When I was in the army they swapped from diesel (which they ran fine on) to JP8 (which they also ran fine on). I always figured you could drink real heavy then piss in the tanks and they'd run.

Doesn't hold a candle to the M1 Abrams startup whine:

As long as he gets King Conan right, I'll not complain about anything else he does in the meantime.
