message: The infobox needs units added to it;  I guess the dimensions are metric (but that's only a guess), but if so, what's the speed?  MPH or KPH?  I certainly don't know the details (only at this page following friendly fire links).  Carre 23:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Add units to the dimensions.  Length is 4.9?  Uhhh, 4.9 what?  Even more ambiguous is the weight.  8.07?  Haha, come on people. KDR 22:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The template used to include preset units. Hard to say how ambiguous a weight of 8.07 is - its British vehicle so will either be in (long) tons or tonnes which are close enough to make little difference. If its length is 4.9 its unlikely to be in feet, so it'll be metres. GraemeLeggett 16:11, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're kidding, right?  Go to other tank pages and see if they use units.  I'm sorry, but have you ever taken so much as a middle school science course?  You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS label dimensions and measurements with units.  M1_Abrams, M103_heavy_tank, M41_Walker_Bulldog.  There are just three random tanks that all have their measurements labeled.  It may be obvious to a tank enthusiast that it is meters or tons or whatever else, but there are a lot of stupid people out there.  But don't do it for the stupid people, do it to follow the proper conventions. KDR 22:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There's the trivia about all British tracked vehicles being able to make tea for crew members. Is this true? If so, where's the source? 84.230.213.132 13:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry but even in a specially ventilated vehicle, who "go's" inside a tank, what you can't make a ten second stop in the fallout out side? The worst thing that makes this seem fake is that, I mean yes, commander is the sh***iest job in the tank because of the danger, but would they really put in HIS seat?! - gabriel

message: Hi. I understand its replacement has been announced (or it could just be a contender), according to a post on militaryphotos.net (which I now cant find). Anyone got any information on that? Thanks Chwyatt (talk) 09:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
