Oh my Lord they have an English channel, watching that for the next week

T-54/55 and T-62 do not have semi automatic loading assistance, T-62 only has automatic casing ejection
-
The second one looks very nice, but I prefer the no-frills look of the original
-
I've always liked the Bukhanka's looks, I would like to own a classic one
-
Are you talking about the 1913 Torpedo Cruiser?
-
-
Does Israel have any plans to implement unmanned tanks (or unmanned turrets at least, like Armata)?
-
Don't you just transfer the height into the hull instead?
-
T-64 does not approve

Ugh, now I have to see all this German footage for the 6 millionth time

I'm not sure if I actually have any German tank documentaries on me to make gifs

Trying to make a looping gif

That picture above, as EE said is the Begleitwagen II, a very early prototype of the PzKpfw IV

"I patrolled the Fulda Gap before the Wall came down. 11ACR was a speed bump to allow V Corps and VII Corps time to get in position.
Every hilltop, bridge, intersection, river crossing, choke point, valley, and major landmark was preplotted for instant Arty/mortar/airstrikes. Every vehicle had preplotted primary, secondary, and tertiary battle positions at every phase line. Bridges were predesignated for demolition and minefields pre-plotted to reroute the enemy to designated choke points, natural barriers, and ambush points. Shape charges and cratering charges could be used to create tank traps in a matter of minutes.
Every American tank was fully loaded with tank rounds at all times. Small arms ammo, demolitions, rockets, and other weapons were stored in conexes in the motor pool or at nearby storage facilities for easy access.
Unlike Soviet vehicles, every American vehicle had radios and every soldier used them. Every American combat arms soldier carried maps, could navigate, and was trained to call for direct and indirect fire.
We found out after the USSR dissolved we had greatly overestimated their abilities. In particular the T-72 tank turned out to be a bit of a joke. They had numbers, we had the technology and more highly trained soldiers.
NATO's plan to stop a Soviet invasion was to stop them at the Rhein. If they crossed the Rhein we'd deploy tactical nukes. France declared their intention to deploy nukes if Soviets reached the Rhein, so we also had contingencies to take away France's ability to do so.
NATO had the advantage but it's a war neither side wanted.
C'mon, Reagan triggered a massive Soviet defense spending spree that collapsed the Soviet economy by convincing them our Star Wars program was real. He convinced the we could shoot them with lasers from outer fucking space! It's pretty easy to see there wasn't much of a brain trust on their side of the fence."
Hee hee hee -
What book is that from?

Watching Engineering Disasters 11, and guess who makes an appearance

I enjoyed his Star Wars reviews

"Coffin of 7 brothers"
Not withstanding the fact that the T-34 only has a crew of 5 at most, but don't let little things like facts get in the way of your pea-sized brain -
Did we? I missed it if we do
Ah well, delete it if you want then -
Not a bad game at all
It has both the N1-L3 and LK-700 manned programs for the USSR, and it's a bit less frustrating than Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space (and has more available rockets and payloads)
I think 1972/73 is probably a realistic timeline for the Soviet manned moon program, though I could probably shave off years if I was a better manager and also willing to risk blowing up a few cosmonauts on the way -
Lol, Panthers in 1942...yeah...
