@@TheChieftainsHatch I wouldn't be surprised if that light switch ends up on vehicles sent to the first off-world colony. 🤣 I've seen a "modernized" version for sale with light-up button controls, pretty sure it still has the same plug on the back and is a direct swap for the lever type.

The reason that many of the switches look identical to that on vehicles from the 1940's onward, is simply because they are robust and they simplify training. As you said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It also reduces cost in production and makes maintenance easier logistically when they share common parts across a wide range of vehicles new and old. Some of these switches you could probably pop out of a museum piece vehicle and they would install just fine in this one.
spent quite a many hours in the drivers position. it wasn't bad to sleep in with the seat back all the way and various bits of gear put in spots. We called it the hell hole.
Man that's the CLEANEST AND MOST COMPLETE MGS I've ever seen in 23 years with the project. You can adjust back and forward on the driver seat by reaching between your legs. Theres a small lever on the middle of the front of the seat cushion.

@ autoloader problems, suspension problems, engine problems, problems with the gun breach. It’s what happens when you slap a turret onto a vehicle that wasn’t really meant to have one that damn big.
The CTIS "Emergency" is super low PSI, about 15 psi in trucks. the computer will override and restart inflating tires is you drive over IIRC 20 MPH. When the 88M class used to go to the Pismo dunes I would set it to that, then disconnect the system to leave it at the low level.
I believe the emergency setting is if you get a hole in your tire, it just continuously throws air at it to try and keep it inflated so you can escape and replace it
MGS originates clear back to 1983 with the 9th Infantry Div (Motorized) as an Urgent Needs Statement when they were experimenting with the Chenowth 4LWC-based Fast Attack Vehicles, then of course didnt materialize until the OOTWA Operations Other Than WAr peacekeeper craze of the 1990s.
that last access panel on the engine wall is for the fluid for the Transfer Case The second set of controls for the DVE is actually for the rearview DVE, its in the right tail light, it usually doesnt work the driver's seatbelt system is actually very fast to disconnect, the belts click in and then there is a tab you pull on the blue circle to disconnect them and they suck back into position I am a Stryker mechanic, I could tell you what just about all the switches do I can also tell you how unreliable these things are as a whole, the Stryker platform doesn't have a dedicated operator MOS, operator error destroys these poor, overengineered machines
Light switch - it works - it rarely needs replacement - current overstock of spares in inventory estimated to last until 2741. At which time no one will remember what a "light switch" is. Jim Y
@M BR from the live chat, The M1E3 is likely going to use the ETC 120mm gun from what information is available. So it is going to be higher energies than current 120mm guns. They just aren't going to higher calibers because there is still room to squeeze out more power.
I remember seeing a display of these at Benning sometime during OSUT the end of 2004 and dreaming how nice it would be to go mech… That wasn’t to be of course I went “light”.. 🤷🏻♂️😂
I know it was a flawed final product but I’ve always been infatuated with the Stryker Brigades and the MGS specifically. It would have been great if they could have gotten it to work

The turret crew positions remind me of the cramped conditions of the Super Kurassier you toured last year. From a commander's perspective, how effective is the panoramic optic compared to the view out of a traditional turret?
After all these years, the stupid World of Tanks music that would play during these still runs through my head when I watch a new one. Every. Single.Time.
The British infantry support tanks of 1940 couldn't fire HE. I'm upset about that on behalf of my poor ancestors who had to process that slight omission.
Are the white phosphor round literally unavailable to store horizontally AT ALL or if you really need it, you still can store them horizontally for a mission or two?
As I understand it, the issue with storing white phosphorus rounds horizontally is that white phosphorus has a fairly low melting point, which means that when horizontal there is a possibility that the warhead payload may become deformed and shift the centre of gravity of centre which has deleterious effects on accuracy.
@@staffsgtsarge I was thinking it had to do with what the warhead was made of. Like what there was needed to make WP happen. Think like that one russian/soviet submarine which blew up under water because a seal broke and sea water got mixed into what missiles or torpedoes that was stored

The Stryker wheeled armored fighting vehicles series was the brainchild and pet project of later retired, four-star, U.S. Army general, Eric Shinseki. General Shinseki promulgated a vision of a faster, more deployable U.S. Army that could transport needed firepower tactical assets like the Stryker vehicles to potential battlefield around the world. As the premier, four-star U.S. Army general at that time in the late 1990s to early 2000s, Shinseki had the Army political clout and civilian leadership backing to push through his vision for the Stryker vehicles. However the doctrine of the heavy, tracked, armored fighting vehicles and tanks remains deeply ingrained and embedded in the U.S. Army top generalship psyche since World War Two. A number of Shinseki's colleagues and fellow generals privately disagreed with his redirection in a wheeled fighting vehicle doctrine for an enhanced mobility U.S. Army. Nothing was going to hinder or obstruct the traditional U.S. Army heavy armor fighting doctrine. General Shinseki's vision prevailed for the time and the Stryker vehicles entered limited production and deployment. But when Shinseki finally retired, his vision of the light wheeled armored fighting vehicles deployable U.S. Army quietly faded into retirement as well along with the Stryker vehicles. Eric Shinseki was still a man of ability. President Bush, Jr. appointed retired General Shinseki as Director of the Veteran's Administration with the mandate to remake the VA into a veteran friendly major medical administration that showed improved care, attitude, and professionalism towards veterans in need of medical care. From the 1970s the reputation of the VA had deteriorated into that of an uncaring, heavily bureaucratic, sullen unprofessional attitude consistent with the worst aspects of overburdened socialized medicine elsewhere in the world. Shinseki succeeded greatly in recreating the VA into a far more professional, caring, and supportive federal medical administration. One of the best endorsements came from my late father, a retired U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, who recounted the sour, uncaring, and sometimes sullen attitude of the VA personnel he encountered in retirement in the1980s. My late father happily described the new VA and its positive, smiling, and professional rebirth under the auspices of retired General, VA Director, Eric Shinseki. Director Shinseki, perhaps you were not able to leave a lasting imprint on the U.S. Army and are long forgotten. But your great work in recreating the Veteran's Administration is your lasting contribution to the veteran men and women of the United States.

It did change in the late 30s/ early 40s

The company that made them must have made a small fortune on it with how long it has been used
And it has an Economy mode. 'Economy' is maybe a relative concept in USA military vehicles.

They wanted to be in a tank with composite armour. Only the tinned food had aluminium armour

Awesome video! Hey, it would be a hoot to see you do a segment with Chris Cappy from Task and Purpose, he served as a Stryker dismount.

It's based partially on the dual magneto lever switch when they used aircraft radial engines in M3/M4/M5.
