Tracked mechanic might be a bit strong in strykers

0.869, was in a stryker on ramiel, bomb car went off nearby, we were tracked.

Sandiford, bless his cotton socks, comes over with a repair truck.

When our Wheels were fixed the APC suddenly flipped over due to teh force of the wheels returning to their position.

Anyway to help this not happen? Its the first time its happened to me, so it might not be serious.

It could just be the strkyer since it has a taller profile

It sometimes happen when person without crewman kit enters APC after the person with the proper kit leave vehicle.

I can confirm this story as I had the misfortune of being the gunner in that situation. :roll:

Another contributing factor may have been our somewhat awkward position on the sand dune. ;-)
