Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I was shocked when I saw that. I also was very surprised to see them make that recovery with no outriggers... If they're not needed for that move, why are they even there? The frame couldn't have appreciated that twisting sensation. The HEMTT manual says NOTHING is to be done until the outriggers are deployed.That bit about picking the front of the GMC and rolling it back with the boom IS how you bend a boom.
No shots fired, just wanted members to be AWARE of the bent boom issue after watching the video, for those who did not know better, I did NOT want them to think that was the WAY to do this kind of recovery. This also goes for the outrigger or lack of issue, someone seeing the video and not knowing will think that operation is ok..Don't shoot the messenger, just a neat blast from the past as I was looking at M816 videos and it happen to pop up.
