all in all it’s just really not practical for a Sniper who relies on low/no visibility positioning to observe the enemy. Tanks draw way too much attention from the enemy, immediately become targets of Priority, you are way to exposed on top, with a poor position to set up on, over all it would be really really dumb unless there was some outlandish odd ball reason I don’t see why any true Sniper would even bother doing something like this. As an US Army 19DB4 qualified Sniper I could never seen any viable reason why A Sniper Would Go Prone on top of a Tank in active combat. Tank aka Armour warfare is primarily Manoeuvre base combat I personally would not want to be riding around prone on a Tank that’s engaged in Active Combat. Could you imagine how ridiculous that would be ? A dude in a ghillie suit proned out on the turret of an Abrams Tank that’s hauling ass across a field attacking 2–3 Russian T72 Pop-Tops ?
That’s the last place any Sniper would ever want to be is on top of is a Tank rolling into combat. Everyone looking at that tank is going to be like “Holy F There is a Guy Laying down,in some halfassed prone position feet hanging off the Turret With a Bolt Action Rifle!!! Fire that Javelin, TOW, NLAW, Zoomy Boomy Drone, RPG Etc At that Tank while I call for Fire on this.
In general No,I have seen some Bizarre Off the Wall Batshit Crazy Shit go down in Combat Zones so I’m not going to say Without a doubt it’s a No Go. After all I am sure it could happen but it’s most likely probably not going to. As a Sniper you rely on your ability to stay hidden from view. Tanks are not things that usually go undetected or unnoticed. Tanks are attention magnets, I don’t think I have to explain why? But just in case Tanks are mobile Cannon and MachineGun platforms covered in armour. they traditionally have been a nightmarish opponent to have to face off against unless you are another Tank. (Drones Javelins NLAWs have changed this now) Tanks are not sneaky, Low key or easy to overlook. Tanks grab immediate attention from friends, enemies and everyone else around. The enemy infantry smartly so immediately gets ghost when a Tank starts rumbling in up, at the same time their anti armour teams start shifting around getting into position to get a shot and or someone usually gets on the radio and calls their own tanks, or requests Airframes or Artillery Assets to stop by and say hello to whatever Tanks are coming to visit.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
Snipers on Tank Turrets While Tanks Are In Combat That’s Some Video Game Shit and Not Usually Going to happen in Reality but Sometimes In War On The Battlefield Crazy Shit That Normally Is So Crazy It Isn’t Done Normal Happens You Never Know…..
Plus The Turret could be rapidly spinning from target to target as the tank is porpoising up and down over the bumpy hilly terrain . I mean the turret is stabilising the whole time but still I’m not going to be able to break off rounds at targets because I’m holding on for dear life praying I don’t get anally probed by a Suicide Drone and blown off the turret. If the Muzzle blast from the main gun doesn’t rattle all my dental work out of my head….
You are totally exposed to every weapon system being fired at the tank and you are also “Skylined” if you stand upright. If the tank is moving at speed your going in be hanging on to random points getting bounced around.

What about when that main gun goes Boom I do not want to be Laying Down on the Turret. Yikes !! The Tankers keep all their gear in their bustle racks or hanging on the Tank, so I don’t want to ended up with someone dirty underwear getting blown out of their pack when someone shoots at the tank and someone’s Alice pack shreds open throwing Dirtty Foot Fungus Smelly Socks and Nasty Skid-Marked Tanker Panties all over me. 🤮
It’s a horrible position for you to be. It’s not a flat level surface there are Hatches, mounting points, Bolts Heads, Rivets, Sharp welded pokey metal protuberances, Reactive Armour tiles, Cope Cages, Whole Amish Pole Barns (Like The Russians are using right now in the Ukrainian War. )
