The interesting ship photos/art thread.
RobotMinisterofTrueKorea replied to Belesarius's topic in Naval Discussion
USS Minneapolis (CA-36) painted to resemble a DD-421 class vessel. Note large fake windows, false raised quarterdeck, and false raft attached to the side. Also worth noting: The New Orleans-class is easily one of the nicest looking heavy cruisers in history. -
The "Today in Military History." Thread.
RobotMinisterofTrueKorea replied to Belesarius's topic in Historical Warfare
The 466th TFS was flying F-105s out of Hill AFB until February of 1984. So, yep, they would have been operating next to each other. Now, if I could only find a picture of such a glorious sight. Related, 1980s Thud Porn: http://www.aeroimage.com/milair/fighter/earlyfight/f105thud/F105ThudPort.htm -
World of Warships THRED

I think I've set the loss streak of all time for Ranked battles lol -
Hats off to the fine people at Hawker. Once again providing a wonderfully capable (if not rather odd looking) military aircraft for the RAF.

Lets talk TV Shows
RobotMinisterofTrueKorea replied to Walter_Sobchak's topic in Fiction & Entertainment
I binge watched through the first Season of Fargo in between WoT Matches this weekend. I highly recommend it. It has a rather perfect ratio of seriousness to dark and absurd humor. -

USS Wisconsin moored alongside the hulk of USS Oklahoma following the latter vessel's salvage. -
The Hippie Hate Thread
RobotMinisterofTrueKorea replied to Sturgeon's topic in History, Culture, and Archaeology
This picture pretty much captures all of my Hippie related hate. I drive past it every day. Edit: The other thing that drives me up a wall, is the fact that it makes it ambiguous as to where they get their power from, is it then coal? Gas? Shit that's worse than nuclear power? -
Sorry to change the subject, I just noticed a disturbing lack of OH-58D. It's not the fastest, it's not the best armed, but I'll be damned if it doesn't just look fun.

Also on the subject of hilariously awful Military fiction. Pretty much anything by Patrick Robinson comes right to mind. Scimitar SL-2 takes the cake though. Former SAS man turned terrorist plans to blow up the Canary Islands with a nuclear cruise missile. The best part of Patrick Robinson books are the negative reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Scimitar-SL-2-Patrick-Robinson/product-reviews/0060086653/ref=cm_cr_dp_qt_hist_one?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addOneStar&showViewpoints=0

I feel obligated to point out I really love pre WWI Naval vessels. -
On the subject of the mind numbing awfulness that is John Ringo, I feel I should mention the mind numbing awfulness that is Tom motherfucking Krantman. A man who wrote a book that involves Germany rejuvenating SS veterans and reforming the Waffen-SS because apparently only the elite soldiers of the Waffen-SS are bad enough dudes to fight space aliens. Also, apparently, the Waffen-SS according to Krantman, were a bunch of misunderstood patriots who didn't actually commit any war crimes. He also wrote a story about a sentient tank that had orgasms when it dreamed about killing T-34s. He's the ultimate Wehraboo. http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Rhine-Wacht-Posleen-Series/dp/1416521208

There was in incident way back where the Turks violated Greek Airspace and shot down an unarmed F-16 killing a student pilot and his instructor. After the incident the Hellenic Air Force mandated that aircraft capable of carrying weapons would be armed in some capacity at all times. The Turkish Air Force has a nasty habit of doing shit like this.
