  11.  @ceu160193  Wrong again. I have years of tank driving experience and combat experience. What do you have? I worked with M1s in combat, and many ran without side skirts. None of the other vehicles we used had side skirt protection of their tracks and wheels either. Side skirts don't prevent busted tracks. We once threw a track off an M60. Driver pivot steered in sand. After much fussing and some not-so-wise ideas, we managed to get the track back in place without killing anyone and without having access to tools, and without resorting to breaking the track to get it back on (the proper way to do it). And side skirts do NOTHING against land mines, nor do they cover teh entire track and prevent direct hits against them. Also, if you had any clue, you'd know that some measly shrapnel is going to do next to nothing to a track. Maybe some large bomb fragments, such as from a 2,000lb JDAM, or even a 500lb bomb, at very close range. Ever experienced bomb shrapnel like that before? I have. We had 38, 500lb bombs dropped within 200-500yrds of my position once, and our vehicles got absolutely peppered by the shrapnel. We're lucky no one got killed. Huge chunks of shrapnel. But even that did no damage to the vehicles that we had to fix (not our vehicles, nor the British who were with us on that operation). Even if you placed a hand grenade right in the track. Wedged it under a road wheel directly on top of the track, it would do absolutely NOTHING to the track. You watch too many Hollywood movies. I have destroyed an M60 tank on a demo range with real explosives, I can tell you what works. I've also seen many tanks and other vehicles destroyed in actual combat, as well as many that survived attacks as well. I am actually very experienced in destroying armored vehicles, as it was part of my specialty in the military. I also know how to defend against all attacks on an armored vehicle as well, as I literally modified vehicles for that exact purpose, many of which took many hits. We had multiple vehicles that survived over 90 explosive weapon attacks against them. Often times they survived with little or no damage, other times we had to replace parts and patch things, but always got them running again. One is now in a military museum here in the US.
