Seriously, I only tried it manually once - you spin and spin and spin, and the turret moves a little, the gearing is very high. It's been damn near 18 years now, but I seem to remember it being pretty slow.

yeah, I think that's the manual speed. I'm currently going through a process of updating the vehicle stats for my game and including things like the turret speed. I try to find this type of info on the web but it's hard to find - most of the time I hop onto youtube, find videos of the vehicles, and look how long it takes for their turrets to turn.
I would be interested to know how long it takes to turn the turret manually because I could use that in the event that the electric/hydraulic transverse has been damaged.
This is the file I've been working on in my spare time - though I haven't had much of that lately:

I'd like some feedback into external vehicle load. The twilight 2000 rulebooks give external load (during character creation) as 10% of the vehicle weight. Now can anyone with any experience tell me if a tank can really have 3 or 5 tonnes of equipment strapped to the top of it and still go? I could believe it, a SUV here, a SUV there, pretty soon you're talking about real weight - could the suspension handle it? How about 12 tonne wheeled IFV - 1200 kg strapped on the outside, I don't know, can anyone lend insight?
thanks in advance.
