RedLetterMedia thread. RLM is gud, u must watch it, yo!
Scolopax replied to LoooSeR's topic in Fiction & Entertainment
I haven't watched the entirety of this one. I did see The Critical Drinker's response vid, which seemed to cover most everything but was much shorter, so I'm curious what the hackfrauds had to talk about for so long.- 230 replies

It's a battle bus if I've ever seen one, that's for sure.

So straight from the Kawachi to the Ise then? It also seems that the Baltimore is getting locked into being an event-only vessel. Because that also makes sense.

I wondered if it was a matter of manufacturing something domestically, either of foreign license or native design, but I believe all the other AA systems used at the time were purchased directly from Russia. Worth noting that these (Strela, Osa, and Kub for example) are all missile systems though.

The USS Shaw, a Mahan-class destroyer, was the victim of a catastrophic magazine explosion that was famously captured in a photo during the Pearl Harbor attack. While her bow and bridge superstructure were lost as a result of the blast, her presence in drydock meant she was still able to be salvaged and refloated in due time. Shaw was later rebuilt and went on to actively serve in the Pacific throughout the remainder of the war.

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Scolopax replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
This is the same thinking I have. I do not claim any real expertise in my opinions though. Related to the topic, I didn't realize before that there were two Object 781's produced, with slightly different armament. One has a turreted MG in place of one of the sponson grenade launchers.- 5,212 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Scolopax replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Which is why I suggested it as a joke, hence the /s sarcasm tag. Guide rails sound like they would help, but I think we both agree that something greater than two 30mms would be more desirable.- 5,212 replies

Scolopax replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Huh, I don't think I've notice until you mention it that the muzzle brakes aren't off-angle from each other. They should swap the 2A42s for 2A72s and see how much that helps. /s- 5,212 replies

North Korean armor: little Kim's less explosive tools
Scolopax replied to SH_MM's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Are you sure? The apparent size seems right for a 122mm. To me, it looks similar to the 2A18 on the 2S1 Gvozdika, but North Korea doesn't have any of those and the entire mounting is obviously different. I would think that the Norks might realize an 85mm gun might be a bit small for such a fire support vehicle by today's standards.- 33 replies

General artillery, SPGs, MLRS and long range ATGMs thread.
Scolopax replied to LoooSeR's topic in Mechanized Warfare
What would be the rationale for using (buying or borrowing?) K9s in Korea over the M109s that are in use besides maybe some slight logistical ease? I wasn't aware of any interest by the US army of pursuing the K9 for any future use, not with the XM1299 in development.- 1,911 replies

I forget, was the thing supposed to go ashore (near) there, or did it break away while being towed and beach itself?

Some strangely American-like designs there. The tank appears like the offspring of some scandalous encounter between an Abrams and a T-14.

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Scolopax replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Certainly doesn't seem like it at a glance, but if you look at a larger photo (see below), you can make out the gas holes in the barrel where the bore evacuator used to be. The number and position of 'rings' around the barrel also matches the 2a46. I imagine there's probably been plenty a derelict T-64/72/80 to pull one out of. Why it was inserted in place of the 122mm or 152mm, I'd say that's up to imagination.- 5,212 replies
