    We cannot allow a log gap!

    If that was like the merkava you'd have a very short spring - it seems to hide entirely behind the road wheel. IMO thing #1 is a damper, and #2 is a bump stop in an odd place (acting on the swingarm connected to the damper, which probably made sense when they designed the thing)

    I look forward to the counter-counter assault rifles to counter this counter assault rifle, perhaps it would be some kind of modernised mosin nagant. Also, according to the manufacturer they include 100 rounds of greek 30.06 in the $4.7k package - now that's good value!* *per firearm blog interview with designer of weapon, weapon is not guaranteed to work with cheap ammunition.

    Ob. 699 has turned up! (found on tanknet)
  5. Xlucine
    wow, very unified. Much commonality

    Why does it have half an IR countermeasure system?

    A mention of piezometric efficiency lead me to this site, which is worth reading. Read it

    So it's safe to say that the swept wings on Me 262 resulted in worse performance?
  9. Xlucine
    Goes without saying, really

    The flamingo really makes it

    Depending on what's in the turret basket, there shouldn't be any issue with that in armata - the crew seats are right next to the basket after all.
  12. Xlucine
    It's happening! Now we just need to see the new turret

    If we add charons mass to pluto we won't need to argue about whether pluto should be a planet, because dust clouds can't be planets
  14. Xlucine
    How hard would it be to apply charon to pluto?

    Didn't looser post plans for a russian seaplane version?

    planes at 30k ft are not the issue for ships, missiles at sea top level and other low level stuff are

    So the body of the aircraft becomes one huge-ass wing fence? I'm still not sure if I understand the idea behind it helping improve the ratio of chord to height - surely wing area (and so wetted surface) would be constant? Sure, the chord decreases (measured normal to the leading edge), but the length increases by the same amount so I don't see why it's different to a straight wing with the same chord measured along the airflow. I do know a guy who's meant to know a lot about this kind of stuff though, so I will talk to him and get back to you.

    According to the tanknet hivemind that's just the new turret being tested on a T-90 hull, so no look at T-14 yet
  20. Xlucine
    Sponsons are inefficient, I dislike them. It could kinda work for an IFV, but not something with a hull as low as an MBT

    Er, 9.75% for P(a or b`). P(a and b`) = 0.25%, so P(a xor b`) = 9.5%. (` added to stop it turning into an emoticon) I recall reading an article a while back that claimed teenage pregnancy was linked to average life expectancy, but I suspect it's stuck behind the new scientist paywall

    Second film made it - the fight scenes were contrived to the point of ridiculousness, and the bit with the gold defied all logic. The third film makes the fellowship of the ring make no sense at all either, although I'll grant that the first was okish

    I just marathon'd the hobbit trilogy. I shan't do that again
  24. Xlucine
    Didn't that tiger commander also lose their left side or something?
  25. Xlucine
    That makes me moist
