    Russian bias.

    Intel sez they see moores law going down to 7nm, but after that all bets are off.

    THE POWER OF INSTABILITY COMPELS YOU

    So, you lose 10% of the payload if you want ejection seats? That doesn't leave much weight for a gun

    Or any indication of the actual shape of the armour arrays underneath - I look forward to the better views we'll have from the parade

    Isn't 10 close range shots of 7.62x54r AP a bit much for individual body armour? There's only a 1 in 3 chance that they all missed the exposed bits at that point, and realistically how often is it needed?

    Ooh, I like those. The rocket assisted ones should let you reduce recoil as well.

    The microstructure isn't that complex - creep is the diffusion of atoms which moves grain boundaries, letting the material run away from the load, so designers avoid grain boundaries perpendicular to the applied stress. They used to do this with columnar grains by setting up a temperature gradient along the blade (so all the grains run top-to-bottom), now they do something cool to make the structure a single grain. Maybe a hot wire sensor?

    Diving is a non-starter for CAS - any useful angle is suicidal. You're going almost straight down to get a useful reduction in armour thickness, which means you're high - which means every MANPAD for miles around has a perfect view of you. treetop height is the only safe option, and side armour has got much better than it used to be.

    IMO drop the 40mm launcher altogether if you're doing that, and strap the guidance system to a ~50mm mortar. Like the french spigot thingy - it's already long enough for fins, and has better throw weight

    What exactly would the LAG do that the sniper wouldn't? Is it something delivering worthwhile HE, or is it just a fancy ATR?

    www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-32503660 Hopefully this doesn't mess up the nuclear treaty

    Followed by a failed attempt at towing, judging by the lack of track nearby

    Otters could kick your ass. Otters could kick anyone's ass. Otters kick crocodile ass all over the world

    What's the difference between BMPT and BMOP?
  17. Xlucine
    Excellent! We definitely have a hatch (unsurprisingly), and probably a ramp (looking at the extra space available between what I assume are hinges and the stowage on either side of the back) I agree on that, and challenger has a similar system (only with the radiators either side of the engine)

    That's about what you'd pay for a common uni textbook, they are making the most of getting those rights

    Tank commanders are meant to deploy such that turret hits are more likely, although it would be harder if you have to move.

    And already leaking oil Have you seen any photos of the back of a T-15?
  22. Xlucine
    Heh, so WT has copied WoT and split apart the T95 and T28, and not given the T28 the outer tracks. Only difference is the WT T28 is a premium

    So it's like kids on deviantart tracing their COPYRIGHTED OC DONUT STEAL, but with steam. The most popular page is filled with DOTA IP infringement, I can see this going very well.
  24. Xlucine
    Doing it in space would take co-ordination. Maybe straps also. It'd be a neat "first" for the couple
  25. Xlucine
    M60's do a similar thing
