Summary

Description Hull down tank diagram.png	English: This diagram shows the Hide, Turret-down and Hull-down positions that a tank may adopt. The tank shown on the right is an M1 Abrams with a maximum gun depression of about -10 degrees. The tank in grey further to the left is a T-72 which can only depress to -5 degrees, and is forced to adopt a more exposed position as a result. Русский: Правые три силуэта — М1 Абрамс в скрытых позициях («в окопе», наблюдательная и полностью скрытая). Слева более открытая позиция «в окопе», которую вынужден занимать Т-72 из-за его меньшего диапазона наклона ствола (-5 градусов у Т-72, -10 у М1).
