I know what an HET is. Marines don't have them.this is a HET.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I know what an HET is. Marines don't have them.this is a HET.
ok. didn't sound like you knew what a HET was. but i understand now, you don't know what a HEMTT is because you guys have those LVS things. gotcha.I know what an HET is. Marines don't have them.
I guess while posing a question in post# 17 made it sound like I lacked the knowledge of current military transportation equipment as well as the search engine google.oh, and i'd've given anyone a field grade Article 15 for trying to tow an M1 w/ a HEMTT. not only is that retarded, it's deadly.
Thanks for posting that Keith
we're talking about 2 different things, and it seems that it is my fault. when i heard "towing an M1 w/ a HEMTT" i thought that you were saying towing an M1 w/ a HEMTT wrecker - no trailer involved. yes, the MK48 appears to be the same [or similar] animal as an M983 HEMTT tractor coupled to a lowboy trailer capable of handling and stopping an M1. the issue i had w/ towing w/ a HEMTT [with out a trailer] you would obviously not have brakes to keep the M1 out of your back seat.... Why can you not use a HEMTT to pull a tank? Is a MK48 not a modified HEMTT or have the same drive train? We use the MK48 to haul our tanks. I am just trying to find the reason why one service would use it in one role and the other would not...
never provided any. if it was recieved, i appologize.... If you can answer this intelligently without the sarcasm it would be much appreciated.
you asked the question ofI guess while posing a question in post# 17 made it sound like I lacked the knowledge of current military transportation equipment ...
and therefore, showing that you did not know the difference between the two critters i tried to help illuminate the issue. andWe as Marines do not have an HET as far as I know. Is this not the same thing as a HEMTT?
obviously, if you had googled these items as well as looked at the pictures of the HEMTTs that i had linked, then you would have realized that i was not understanding the question and that this was just a misunderstanding. so, no, apparently you don't....as while as the search engine google.
They have civilian everything. KBR and Haliburton are borrowed so far up uncle sams ass, the military couldn't take a **** without them.They had civilians for firefighters? Cool!
ha! agreed.......The 4 side had all the scenery though.
