hello all, for mz next dio i need an abandoned T-55 tank, since i dont do much modern tanks i need info if there is a possibility that the crew just abandoned the tank becouse of some malfunction and quick advancing enemz infantry (for example: broken tracks, out of fuel...etc...) was this possible to happen?


thanks
Mirko

yes it could happen broken down engine ect and the crew may not have had time to destroy the tank (some are fitted with explosives to ensure it doesnt fal into enemy hands). At the end of the day the trained crew are worth more than a tank. many German tanks in WW2 were blown/left due to lack of fuel.
you could also have it were the crew have been doing some maintance to the tank and have been ambushed

I've seen numerous photos from OIF of undamaged tanks that were abandonded, some even before the war got underway.

I did an abandonded (well, I did 1/2 the tank) Iraqi tank, check my gallery. It was a fun little build.

Hi Mirko,

I got some photos of iraqi abandoned and destroyed T-55's here:
