TGIF! So long, work week and hello Dirt Superb Owl! Before that though, let’s learn how to escape an Ukraine war zone with the abandoned tank sitting over there.

Survival – Personal Edition

That’s right, it’s time to learn how to drive a tank!

First thing, we need to get in the thing. Don’t try to do this on a moving tank. The left front on most tanks will have a step to get on the front of the tank. From there, locate the driver’s hatch in front of the turret. Open, secure, climb in, then close and lock the hatch. We don’t need any distractions from other stragglers.
In the center of this small space will be a reclined chair. That’s for us! Hope in and adjust so you can see through the periscopes in front of you and so that you can reach all the controls.
On the left will be a bunch of gauges. We only care about the fuel gauge. Make sure there’s enough to get somewhere. It will take about 10 gallons to start, and then require 2 gallons per mile from there.
On the right will be a bunch of controls. We primarily care about the ones for starting the engine and turning on the fans. The fans are needed to replenish the oxygen supply in the driver’s area.
In front of you are the driving controls and periscopes. A big handle bar for steering with throttle on the right hand grip, a gear selector on top of that, and a brake pedal on the floor. Just to the right of that should be the parking brake. The parking brake can be pulled out to engage, and then twisted and pushed in to release. Normal driving can be accomplished using the two side periscopes which should give you a 120 degree viewing angle out front. The center periscope is for driving straight in low visibility conditions.
Alright, so let’s start this sucker up. Find the start switch and flick it to the “On” position to start the engine. Warm up the engine for at least 3 minutes.
Now, release the parking brake, and move the gear selector knob to D for Drive. Twist the throttle back to increase speed, forward to slow down. Go slowly at first as handling a tank is a bit different than a car. Steer using the handle bar just like a bike.
Finally, release the throttle grip and press the brake on the floor to bring her to a stop. Stop the engines by getting that start switch to “Off”. Make sure to reapply the parking brake.

There you have it! You can now drive a tank. That’s great hustle!
