Mean as cat pee.
But I’m hearing mixed messages from mates who are still playing the game - the crews love it, the logisticians hate it.
And as we know, tactics win battles. Logistics win wars.

Why is that? Does it use too much fuel? Does it eat its transmission every time someone goes to 3rd?
I can see how that can get problematic rather quickly yeah

Oooh, sexy. What is it?
The shape of the mantlet & rear deck, the position of the coax and central driver, had me first thinking of a ‘next gen’ M1. But then I noticed the hatches either side of the driver and lack of a fume extractor, so now I’m thinking some kind of ‘crew in hull’ prototype?
Anyhoo, even though they appear to be ‘rubberised’, those side skirt extensions aint going to last long

Cheers. Looks like I was correct on both counts - It is a ‘next gen M1, crew in hull prototype’

Greetings Mudspikers.
This video has just been posted on Youtube. It does not say on Youtube, but it is from Friday at Åben Hede (Open Heath) 2022.
This and the other vids I link to here is from the same guy and the same day.
Leopard 1A5’s and Centurion are heading out to the exhibition area, where they performed live test firing to verify that guns where working correctly before the main event the following Sunday.
The blue Mercedes Vito van, that shows up at about 13:27 is driven by me. The videographer in the silver car in front is leading me to the exhibition area and giving me a great experience at the same time.
I took these pictures at about 22:33-22:55
This is a video from the same day including something from the live fire part
And another one. This time me in the blue van shows up at 5:01 and I can be seen taking the above pictures from about 8:08.
This is the Centurion including live firing.
This is mostly recordings from his silver car. (It is still me in the blue van.)
Happy Simming

The video from the loaders hatch (Taking a ride with 3 Leopard 1A5) really takes me back… especially the whine from the radiator fan spooling up and down.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Gutted i couldnt get my flights lined up. Absolutely gutted.
Next year. 100%
You are very much welcome.
The loaders hatch has as a civilian been where I have gotten most of my experiences.
Except the one time when I hitched a ride between our Fredskoven and Kalbyris facilities with turret and gun in transport lock.
I think that the TC mounted the left hole out of habit and I followed suit with the right hole.

There is still a chance to go to Open Heath this year as it is on Sunday June 25 2023.
The event takes place at Grærup Havvej 2, 6840 Oksbøl and starts at 10:00.
I will not attend this year.
It will be a very good idea to get there sooner as it can take quite a while to get to the parking spots. Last year the announced for shuttle buses was cancelled at the last moment and it is a fairly long walk from the furthest parking lots. Some people missed the main event as they where still walking towards the area.
It will be a somewhat slimmer experience this year, as a fair number of the Leopard 1A5 museum vehicles are being used for training Ukrainian tank crews.
2 of our Leopards where not present at our Open House for the same reason.
Next year our Open House will be at Saturday May 25 2024 beginning at 10:00.
You are all very welcome.
According to the GHRVPK activity calender it looks like Open Heath 2024 will be on Sunday June 23.

Open Heath has been postponed due to a very high fire risk. It has been very warm and dry for a long time.
They are looking into having the event later this year.
Its a bummer but the right decision.
