When the round hit, the detonation blew hatches open and the tanker out of the vehicle.

    The plume of fire rushing out is the propellant of the main gun's rounds burning. That's one of the design limitations of the T-72. It's going to go up like a Roman candle if that stuff is ignited, and it is susceptible to lighting because the semi-combustible cases are exposed at the bottom of the turret basket.

    That guy must have died an especially gruesome and painful death.
    It blew him out of the turret? Holy Crap!

    Do you mind mentioning the other forum? If so a PM is cool or if not I understand.

    It was on Lightfighter.net. It will require joining and posting a brief introduction is preferred before posting if you ever get around to it.

    Give me a day and I'll get you the link to the discussion.
