Jesus, not one IS-3 of the ~600 lasted past 300 service hours and 1000km during government test. For reference this what the IS-2 achieved in wartime:
QuoteIS/ISU-122: 1200-1800 km, 230-280 hours

Wait, why does the top BT-7 have a fourth crew member?

TIL the IS-3 was equipped with a hunter killer system in 1946.

The joke is that the ship is Russian.
A few Russian destroyer were transferred as part of the Lavrov-Tillerson pact. Soon Russia and the US will divide Turkey and put an end to this monstrosity of Sykes–Picot

Now that the S tank is in the game can we get this please?
QuoteThe "all in the hull" layout, designed with a gun in the hull immobile in the horizontal plane, was explored in the USSR long before the Swedish Strv-103 turretless tank, known as S-tank. In 1955, VNII-100 explored the idea of aiming the gun with rotation of the hull. Work was performed using the chassis and armament of the T-10 heavy tank. Turning of the hull was done with a secondary 4MI-22S electric motor, powered by a special reductor between the electric motor and planetary transmission. The oscillating section of the M-62T2 gun was housed in the immobile armoured casemate. Two ammunition loading mechanisms were lined up behind it, for the shell and propellant. The first trials demonstrated excellent precision when aiming the weapon. It was discovered that, with this method of aiming, mechanizing loading was much easier. It was also possible to lighten the vehicle by 500-700 kilograms. Along with the positive qualities, the construction of the tank became more complicated, as a secondary mechanism was needed, and, most importantly, the maneuverability of fire depended on the maneuverability of the vehicle. Such aiming method was deemed unacceptable, and work in that direction ceased. It was not possible to fire on the move in conditions of modern maneuverable war. Additionally, in order to aim, the tank had to rotate its entire hull, showing it to the enemy. The Strv-103 remained the only mass produced turretless tank created after WWII, really being a very well designed SPG that served as a tank destroyer.

TIL that prior to the Second Punic War the concepts of predestination and the demigod are largely absent from Roman religion.

Somehow I doubt that USA today:
QuoteThe United States military has dropped a 22,000-pound bomb on ISIS forces in Afghanistan, ABC News confirmed through sources at the Pentagon.
It's the largest bomb the U.S. has ever used in combat.

Why bother trying to blank out the caption and then giving up halfway?
The way they uploaded the book was really weird. Some of the pictures had their captions retained the others did not.
edit: The caption might have been yellow originally but they just converted it to black and white.

Is there anything special about this T-62?
It's from when they first added back an AA gun other than that, no.

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

On the first 800 or so the cooling system was inefficient plus they lacked dust protection so the fan would break and the engine would overheat rather quickly. So they all had to be sent back to ChTZ to be fixed.
