  1. Oh no, that's the really -good- part...

     

    You couldn't hit anything at less than 800~900 yards with the MGM-51.

     

    i was talking about the HE shell

     

    i think i would of felt alot better in a SU-152, ISU-152, or Su-122-54 or any 20th century Eastern European infantry support vehicles 

  2. Not terribly so, there were examples of industrial or mining equipment that was heavier, using that trackform.

     

    18.5 Vs 24 is a bit of a difference, the whole point was to develop something smaller and more compact than the M41. The '92 was a step in the right direction, versus Sheridan.

     

     

     

    It had a decent sized warhead, it's sole selling point.  IIRC all it saw shots in anger against were fixed emplacements.

     

    good luck hitting anything that isnt and RPG range

     

    and dont get me started on its armor 

  3. A much more viable light tank concept than Sheridan. Scrapping all that work over "but does it float", in exchange for $5000 a shot missiles, a 400 meter armament dead zone and an overcomplicated main armament package, was ridiculous.

     

     

    i wouldnt even mind the Shelliegay if it work

     

    but it dosnet

     

    provided you get a function missile, its so inaccurate it makes a Malyutka (or a AT-3 Sagger for you HATO troglodyetes) look like a hellfire

     

    speaking of which, if you so much as manage to find a mark on a Soviet tank, chances are its just gonna scratch the paint.

     

    A T-55/62 crew could probably take the hit and survive rather unharmed, a T-72 crew will laugh at you, a T-64 crew will be wondering why HATO is using practice munitions, and a T-80 crew will just feel sorry for you and write your mother a letter 

  4. They found it was surprisingly effective when used as either an anti personnel or fortification/building weapon, or as a standoff weapon against many types of armor when using the Bastion, Kan, or Arkan series of missiles for it, and it just stuck.

     

    the ZBD08 as an IFV design can basically be summed up as "Hey, what would happen if someone made a BMP-3M with actual armor and lots of ammunition storage for some reason?" (It's actually slower amphibiously despite powerpack upgrades compared to older versions because of said features.)

     

    dosent have nearly as much armor as the new aramta IFVs  :P

     

    seriously, i could really give 2 hoots about the T-14, pretty much everything else (besides the SPG) seems to be a radically new steep ahead of most AFV development 

  5. the fact that somebody thought a T-55 would be better spent in a music video rather than actually fighting ISIS is the biggest offender of this video

     

    also

     

    non-violence never stopped anything

     

    hell, the only reason 'peaceful' country's like swizterland stayed neutral was being armed to the teeth

     

    the only thing that would stop ISIS, is more violence

     

    assloads of violence
