Post–Cold War tanks
The M1 Abrams third-generation main battle tank named for General Creighton Abrams. Highly mobile, designed for modern armored ground warfare,[15] the M1 is well armed and heavily armored. Notable features include a powerful AGT1500 multifuel turbine engine, sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing nearly 68 short tons (almost 62 metric tons), it is one of the heaviest main battle tanks in service

When I was in the Army they had the M88A1 Tank Recovery vehicles. Man those things were slow and loud!

[beatnavy]

I loved our M88. They were slow, loud, and a total beast (albeit a needy beast).

Dumb ass tanker should have called the recovery section (no offense intended to dumb ass tankers).

I think you punch it the same as any other gas powered vehicle.
