Go on a mad rampage through the nearest village, continue until radio contact is reestablished then deny it ever happened.

SOP for a tank losing contact is to rampage in the nearest population center until all munitions are expended. Then try to regain contact.

>>33774692
Didn't this supposedly happen in Metro 2033 the book?

>>33774692
Open the Hatch and see if anyone friendly is around. Face-To-Face Communication is the next best alternative when all other Comms. are down.

What happened to them?

didn't the last tank battalion bunker down and use their armor for housing and shit? I definitely remember that they lost contact with the metro and no one knows what happened to them though.

Step 1: Send out the lowest ranking crewmember from the turret to go and rub the main gun's clitellum to try and enhance radio range.
Step 2: Failing step 1, conduct a 360 degree reconnaissance by fire by slowly rotating the turret and firing the coaxial machinegun while rapidly elevating and depressing the gunner's cadillacs. Expend 7.62 ammo until the brass catching box fills up, empty it, and repeat once. See if anybody tries to call you to find out what the fuck is happening.
Step 3: Failing steps 1 & 2, do what these guys said:

While doing this, Murphy's Law says that there will be an American news crew nearby when you do this. (Don't shoot the news crew members if they are all American. If some aren't American, "dealer's choice".) Use the new's crew's communications to contact your unit.

There. You have re-gained comms.

Assume nuclear war has happened and fire his remaining nukes at the enemy

>>33774692
If you lose all radio and visual communication you fall back to the last CCP or until you regain Comms.

like he turns into the guy from One?

>>33774692
if American, hit the OnStar button and order a pizza while you wait for the repairman to come fix it for you because it'd be a violation of your lease to do it yourself

>>33774810
it was a nuclear submarine

All of these answers would like the worst possible thing to do, but I don't know enough to refute them

>>33774692
Hop out, run over to another tank in the platoon and inform them that comms are down. Then trundle back to base, sort out your comms issues, go back out on the next op.

time to do it old school. fucking kids these days and their radios and tactical internets.

>>33774692
Follow their orders?

Challengers are shit m1 knockoffs

The old guardsman is recounting his time as a radio operator and after the strike recieving at first only the sub comanders, who didn't know what to do with CnC gone, and then the guard says he heard some horrific rumors of their fates. The guardsman then tells the story of a tank crew, surviving the initial blasts, raced east into the wildness, picking up some qts and diesel and then fortifying in the middle of nowhere. The guardsman had contact with them for 2 years before he suddenly lost contact, either malfunction or eaten by the strange creatures, once they ran out of ammo...

Launch nukes, then hide for 3 weeks, then try to reestablish contact. If still no contact, head for the nearest friendly country.

> Challenger in Basra takes 70+ RPGs and ATGMs, crew all survives and tank is recovered and back on the line hours later
> M1s getting BTFO'd by sandnegros with ATGMs as we speak

Kek, whatever you say m80

>>33774692
OP are you by chance in a tank in the middle of nowhere?

>>33781533
Of course not, he has comms

>>33781450
>M1s without DU armor
>Crewed by sandniggers
>In any way comparable to fully equiped western crewed MBT
Britbong or vatnik?

> shitty attempt at reasoning, crew doesnt matter because the Challenger had run a track and was completely stationary and surrounded, sandniggers were just bad at tank tactics: one tank got BTFO, the other didnt.

Mentally handicapped or just average Shart in mart?

>>33783904
> Thinking that a shitty monkey model's combat performance is in anyways indicative of the value of the M1 series

It's like you're actively throwing away all logic and common sense

>>33783904
Strip that challenger of the armor packages that were in charge of defeating those missiles and then we'll talk.

That's what happend to The soldiers during the coup in Turkey
Soldiers from the Airforce academy were sent to the bridge on the bosphorus,
the Air force academy forbids anyone from using cellphone communication even the garrisons who were orderedto the bridge with teenagers from the academy
to go the bridge and close it off for the reason that
There was going to be a terror attack
Which Turkey did suffer a lot of in 2016

once on the bridge they were probably on of the last people in the country to understand that there was a coup
their higher ranking officer who ordered them there was from a religious Group
Might have been related to the CIA i personally don't really know,

Might have even been Erdogan which is a possibility since he is the one who profited the most in terms of power.
