A bit puzzling when it talks of maintenance: what maintenance would there be ? As for "leaving it off ", am I likely to be right in guessing that the tanks are delivered without the ERA and this is then fitted either at some base depot , or by the actual crews themselves ?
Some added more, you can often see knocked out tanks where they have been scavenged for the blocks, I do wonder about the ineffectivness on some is simply down to the wooden and rubber blocks fitted in some of them by those making a quick buck back home.
