Question for tankers and other people who work with armor.
We watched this Show on spike TV, Hey! Spring of Trivia. One of thier tidbits of trivia was that Japanese tanks come equipped with turn signals. Are American tanks similarly equipped?

2. American, German, Russian Tanks... et all
are equipped with several things that tankers routinely rip out in the field, turn signals just being one example, (to conspicuous in the field). The first thing disabled is the infantry to tank crew telephone link located in the back of the tank. WAY to many "unfortunate accidents" with tanks backing over infantrymen!
At a ratio of ~170 lb's verses 60 ton's the result is ....well icky!
