    Looks like someone forgot to hit the “friends only” button when tweeting their battle plans

    In case you were still confused as to whether WT is just another WoT: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/415339-extended-waiting-time-in-queue/&tab=comments#comment-7671916

    Since there is a considerable amount of (expected) progress, I will gladly assist you:

    How does the M551 based “Elke weapon test bed” reload? I saw it has a crew of 2, so unless they’re going the 1930s France route of tank design, it must have an autoloader... right? Edit: This thing.
  5. Lord_James
    B-Baka! Don't you know T-34 is most advanced tank in the union?
  6. Lord_James
    I was looking at it too and though of Nozh immediately. I’m doubtful of the effectiveness of this armor... or, at least how it is described.
  7. Lord_James
    What about the roof hatch, it seems to penetrate into the crew compartment:

    you guys hear they took away the airspawn for the P-47? At least I can try playing my A6Ms again, without getting bounced by a squad of douchebags.
  9. Lord_James
    guilty… though, tbh, they don't sound bad when you're depressed. But here's something better:

    It could probably hold more troops if it didn't have that silly engine arrangement.
  11. Lord_James
    Welcome to SH, Rohr That's impossible considering the rod isn't 1m long.
  12. Lord_James
    Wait... so I was right?! I just eyeballed it and though “hmm, that looks like a Leopard chassis and a Leclerc gun/turret profile”. And they’re sticking with the 140? I thought Rhm was gonna use their new shiny 130. I guess they couldn’t shove it in the Leclerc turret in time.
  13. Lord_James
    Watch it be a Leopard 2 hull with a Leclerc T4 turret On a side note, it will be interesting to see what happens with the project, if it will end up like the Leopard 1 (Germany and France made their own things) or MBT/Kpz-70 (it all fails).

    last I checked, 810 > 763: ... or is this chart wrong?
  15. Lord_James
    I totally forgot the Chally 2 also has the same FCS as it did in 1998 (along with armor, gun, 1200hp engine)... now 20 years old. I feel like Britain is competing with Germany on how quickly they can self destruct their country.
  16. Lord_James
    I was more implying their choice of (subpar) weaponry. ‘cough’ rifled main gun ‘cough’
  17. Lord_James
    Britain doesn’t appear to be doing very well... I wonder why
  18. Lord_James
    I’m not sure how well a judge I will be, cause I’m an idiot (compared to most people here), but I’ll try. I do have some ideas for the MBT, but I’m bad@computers, so I guess I don’t have too much of a choice.
  19. Lord_James
    What about an modern MBT? I'm not very eloquent with words, so I'm just gonna be semi-blunt: (In a fictional universe where Russia can build more than 30 Armatas a year) NATO strategists are panicking over the introduction of the Armata heavy universal platform in the Russian Federation. The remote main turret, active protection, high tech electronics and situational awareness aids, and separated/encapsulated crew compartment have sent chills down the West's collective spine. In their terror, they have turned to you (the scum on the internet) to draft up designs to combat this new mechanical monster! Basic Design Requirements (all criteria with asterisks and 3 more of your choosing): *Be less than 63 metric tons without additional armor packages. *Have a weapon system that can get past the hard kill Afghanit APS (lets assume it doesn't work on projectiles traveling above 1500 m/s). *Have a weapon system that can penetrate the Armata within it's frontal arc (turret doesn't count). *Be able to engage the Armata at 2.5 km. *Be transportable by railcar, somehow (can have some disassembly). Have some parts commonality with, or be based off, any MBT or AFV/IFV currently available in NATO (Including Poland, but not Ukraine... cause they're not part of NATO). Be able to withstand Vacuum-1 at 2km and Kornet-EM along the frontal arc. Travel at 60 km/h. Crew of 3. Crew must be separated from ammo/engine compartments (doesn't have to be a capsule). Advanced Design Requirements (extra brownie points ): Be less than 55 metric tons without additional armor packages. Be able to engage the Armata past 4km. Able to withstand Vacuum-1 at 500m and Kornet-EM along the front arc. Has an active protection system. Can travel at least 70km/h. Crew of 2. Use the "brute force method" (KE projectiles only). What do you guys think?

    I’ve never been that low to consider suicide, though I have noticed it’s harder for me to get out of bed and do everything I need to do for the day. A general lack of interest and motivation have also plagued me for a couple years now. Sorry for derailing, especially on such a sensitive/morbid topic.
  21. Lord_James
    Ohh, Obj. 781 and 787. I thought he was talking about a T-72/90 hull with a Bakhcha turret. Thanks anyway.
  22. Lord_James
    I don’t think getting rid of guns will significantly lower the suicide rate, as there are MANY other ways to kill yourself. Ironically, the gun is one of the more humane ways someone could kill themselves, above hanging and plastic-bag-over-the-head, IMO. I’m not advocating or excusing people whom commit suicide, but there are more (and cheaper) ways someone can take their own life than a handgun. This also seems like another of those “feel guilty” articles, where they point to something other than the root cause of the issue. In this case, suicides. (un)Humorously, I believe the roots for suicides could lie in a similar place to why there is gun violence: mental health. Not so much like autism, but depression, anxiety, and paranoid schizophrenia (among others). How in hell we’re suppose to fix or mitigate those issues, I haven’t the foggiest idea, but the “ban guns” approach will NOT solve it.
  23. Lord_James
    Well, you have been beating around the bush when talking about the T-64.
  24. Lord_James
    Pic?
  25. Lord_James
    Thanks for telling us Iceland is, in fact, an island. Oh yeah, the EU does like to make fun of their friends across the pond... with Donald in office, I'm sure they could get a hard-on blaming the US on random events the US had no involvement in...
