Based on a Combat Car hull, this Recovery vehicle
is an essential item for the Slammers regiment when in operation in the
field. Since ACV cannot easily be towed (though, at the risk of damaging the plenum chamber, they may be dragged very short distances) the crane is used to lift Combat Cars, Command Cars, jeeps and other smaller vehicles onto a large, 'flat bed' ACV trailer. This can be towed behind the Recovery vehicle. Blower tanks almost always use dedicated Tank recovery vehicles which are based on a tank hull with a stronger crane and utilise a larger, wheel-less, ACV trailer, towed behind said vehicle. In situations where these specialised vehicles are unavailable, multiples of Combat Car Recovery vehicles have pulled tanks onto tank trailers but this requires at least four recovery vehicles. |
