problems as I see them 1. sand in the lubricant for the turret bearings..also in the barrel of the main gun and secondary machine gun. 2. corrosive aging of primer and powder for the cannon rounds and 7 mm rounds for the machine gun. 3. dry rot of the canvas webbing for the machine gun belt. And yes as any armor vet will tell you, WW2 tanks on either side lacked heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, so 4. hiding in that sweat box will dehydrate T faster than staying out on the dunes.
