I learned today, as i do every day, that no breakfast is complete without imported Tabasco

Yeah, that video popped up on VIF2NE a while back. The consensus was that the T-64 driver, once caught in the dust, gave up on trying to win in order to not crash into things he couldn't see. Theoretically, the T-64 should be able to overtake the T-72 once both of them get up to speed.

i couldnt tell but im pretty sure the T-72 didnt have nearly as many added ERA as the T-64, which probably gave it a speed advantage

RUSSIA STRONK

Mostly I did it to try to get some more traffic to my website.  Unfortunately, funny stuff seems to generate more traffic than serious stuff.  

you should pick a random MAV and have an unholy obession with etheir loving everything about it or hating the day you saw it to generate hot, sweaty tank nerd controversy 

Sparky with the Gavin/stryker

Me with the T-64/leopard 1

Animea fans with the Leopard 2/Abrams 

etc. 

autoloader means its all left to the driver in slavland

I only load 32 bullitz in ma clip for maximum TACTICUUL REALIZM!

 

as ludicrous as this looks, i cant really fault the guy for getting outside and enjoying a hobby he likes

i mean its not like we really have heaps of respect for the soldiers that fought under Nazi Germany and truly care if their memories are tarnished by having people of-lesser physical discipline to reenact them

hell, at-least he picked the branch of the Hitlerite horde with the least warcrimes per captia and loose-fitting clothes

Only on the goddamn Russian tanks where the controls are so heavy.

Well i dont know if its any different in the west, but traditionally drivers usually do alot of lifting for the whole "maintenance, track repair, etc." roles

the website Russia Today keeps running articles on the history of Soviet tanks, and they keep getting stuff hilariously wrong.  For example, did you know that the difference between a T-54 and a T-55 included:

 

The main improvement over the T-54 was the successor’s comprehensive anti-nuclear defense system, insulating the crew against the effects of radiation. The armor thickness remained the same, as did the weaponry, although the main gun and coaxial machine gun was now stabilized in two planes. The tank’s profile was also reduced by almost one meter.

 

Also:

 

By the end of the hostilities, the Israeli tank crews had seen how the L7 tank cannon not only outgunned the 100-mm D-10T2S cannon fitted to the T-55, but also the more advanced 115-mm U5-TC on the Soviet T-62s. The Centurion’s main gun had a greater maximum elevation than its rivals, which often allowed the Israelis to destroy enemy tanks while staying out of reach of return fire.

what a bunch of Russophobes 

to be fair i could really see the added physical strength of a man being needed for tanking

especially the driver

glad to see western music videos still blur the line between music video and long advertisement 

if someone you were going to execute had a haircut like that, would you? 

I really wonder what the turrent armor on the T-14 is like 

mg-42 is okay now

^ Accurate representation of Japanese armor quality in WWII ^

being that that everyone in the tank didnt die from spalling is giving the armor alittle too much credit 

Peaches are for uncultured swine and taste like moldy carpet 

Just like the Germans to through teenagers at the tracks of British tanks and hope fort the best
