Yeah, ignore that Trump has done more to fix the VA than the past two presidents, not that it's fixed but at least he's trying. Obama ignored the problem, but of course, back then, most Democrats didn't give two shits about the VA or our Military.

What program did you use to make the model, and did it just have an HVSS suspension in it already?

We need another design team to come up with the tank of the So California faction!

Awesome, welcome aboard!

This looks fun, we have a full complement of judges?

I would say with the guys known terror links and how the media is downplaying it, it's almost surely islamic terror.

Yeah, I read the same thing, I think it was in Yeide's tank destroyer book.

Yeah, that's what all the bolts on the hull and turret were for. I wonder why they never tried it in combat? Maybe because the TD people wanted more mobility, not less, and thought the M10s main flaw was it was to slow.

No one is trying to silence you. Post all you want. Your voice, in this thread, would have more value, if you made an effort to actually have some objectivity about Trump. You basically spew the same crap we get from MSNBC and CNN and every other mainstream outlet. Most of us have moved on from those sources of news. I'm not asking you to like the man, I'm not asking you to like his policies, I'm asking you to step back, and take an actual objective look at the good and bad things the man has done, and accept, he isn't the devil, and offer actual objective arguments to whats going on. Objectivity in all things, achievable or not should really be the goal of reasonable human beings. I think you may also want to take a serious deep dive into the direction the Democrats have gone, far more than a fringe portion of the Democrat Party do not want you to have a voice in the party, because you are a white male. It doesn't matter that you're on their side, or unemployed, or a lifelong Democrat, or a nice guy, you as a white male have nothing a value to offer the people like Cortez, you are a white patriarchal male, one of the current big enemies of the left. If the young people and sell out mainstreamers in your party are spouting this, and your not worried about it, you are not paying enough attention. Maybe the only value you get out of this is you can come back and say I'm full of shit, no Democrats are calling for hate speech laws or draconian gun control measures, or any other insane stuff. Maybe you see some things you don't like. Hell, I know a hell of a lot of Bernie supporters here in Marin County who are pretty damn mad at the Democrat party for fucking Bernie over, and I'd be pretty worried about the blatant acceptance and lying about Luis Farakan, and the Democrats increasingly being openly anti Semitic too, but that's just me. My point on why you should look at this is because the Democratic party is partly responsible for Trump being in office, and more so than anything the Russians did. Most of it is on Hillary for being a garbage human, but her party didn't help. Without objectivity, your posts come off as the same type of ravings as a wehraboo clinging to Barkman's corner, or a Sherman hater insisting Ronsons were a thing. Also, I was not sober while posting this, but, as of right now, I stand by it.

Sadly you seem far more concerned about supposed problems with the Republicans when they are not threatening any of our fundamental rights, but poo-poo the actions of the Democrats like they are no big deal, while they make moves attacking the rights of US Citizens. Since I'm not a republican or democrat, I'll go after either party when they attack my rights, and contrary to the lefty and media spin, the only party doing that right now is the Democrat party. I've said it before, I'll say it again, politicians are scumbags, they always have been and always will be, both sides, and they should be watched and not trusted, and I don't give a shit if they can fake looking like nice people. They can run around in clown makeup if they actually get things done. That's a lot of text just to spew the standard Pelosi/media line, I am almost surprised to you didn't call the cuts crumbs. Also, it's not just me, it's anyone with eyes, who's willing to look around. Even in California, people are spending money again. We've done more pool upgrades for people this year than in the last 5 by a huge margin, and it's industry-wide. The funniest part is how far lefties got to say it's not real, or just for the rich when Obama achieved nothing like it. FACT, the American people, and economy are doing better under Trump than Obama. You can try and be like MSNBC and CNN to spin it as a negative, but its still, better than Obama ever achieved. I thought you said no more snark, or are you really trying to say, you don't understand, when Trump says "Fair Share", he means paying the obligatory amount of money required by the treaty, on National Defense, and you know damn well they were not doing this, and you know damn well their readiness was terrible. You knew all this, yet you still put up that crap, stolen right from CNN BS? Once again, the facts are, Trump, got NATO moving on this when previous admins failed. If the US should spend blood on a bunch of shitholes eastern European countries who have no business being in NATO at all is a whole other debate, and something NO use Citizen was asked about. The shity Iran deal that had them still working on a NUKE, while spreading Islamic Terror throughout the middle east, killing that was a plus and a campaign promise, or was that the Paris deal, also a shit deal. Of course, you could just trust the Iranians when they claim they were not, in spite of evidence to the contrary. The deal is not done, but Trump, as meager as it is, has still gotten more out of North Korea than Obama, or Bush, and without paying a dime. So again, I stated a fact, you couldn't just concede. Yet, its a fact, the media does the same thing, and their credibility is at an all-time low, and the rights hate of the press predates Trump, so don't try and play that silly card. At worst, all we get is the dead soldiers, and things go back to the way there were, at best we get something better. How is that a bad thing? So, you don't understand Trump is trying to use tariffs on countries that unfairly tariff our goods to get a better deal for the US companies, and we have nothing like free trade in reality? If you understand this, why is it a bad thing? What president has been free of Cabinet officials doing stupid/embarrassing things? We only hear about the Trump ones because the media turns minor things, into news stories and then makes shit up, like how many scoops of ice cream Trump gets. Were the optics of the Obama Whitehouse 'better'? Maybe, if you didn't bother to dig a little, the mainstream media litterally worshiped Obama and continually avoided covering things that embarrassed him. I guess if all you care is appearances admin politicized everything and did real damage to the nation. Unless you think a corrupt and incompetent FBI and Justice department are good things and it's one or the other or maybe both at this point, and it is really not deniable, there is all the evidence you would ever need in the IG report. Trumps Chaotic Whitehouse may look bad to people who can't see past the crap the mainstream media insists on covering or the blatant lies they tell using unnamed sources, people who like results can't ignore the fact things are better under Trump, well you can't ignore it if you have an ounce of objectivity on Trump. Yeah Sadly he was stuck with the Obama admins Cage policy. And of course you won't give the man credit for actually trying to push these things through, and I'm sure you know the reasons why they failed, but lack the objectivity to be honest about it. Well, since you ignored/excused the problems with the justice department and FBI in the past, I don't think you actually want to know what the deep state is, or the swamp, or any of the actual deep problems with lifelong government employees having power over the lives of Americans, and the problems that can cause in a democracy. I also think its funny lefties think someone who is already stupidly rich, would try and get rich by cheating the American people, while every media outlet in the in the nation, as incompetent as they are, is watching. I suppose it's no more stupid than the left's insistence on passing laws, to stop criminals from doing things, by taking the rights of non-criminals away, under the assumption, that the new anti-freedom law will be the one those criminals decide to obey. There are so many problems with the Meuler probe, that it stands no chance of actually getting Trump, see that's the problem with having a corrupt justice department and FBI, they mess shit up and it, and ruin their own credibility. We could get into this, but in the past, you seemed really apt to dismiss problems with the FBI and Justice Dept as Trump/republican BS attacking our law enforcement agencies. You might want to read up on some the subject, and aviod lefty sources, maybe start with the IG Report before you dive in. I will say this though, at least under Trump, there is a chance the justice department might go after government overreach and corruption when there was no chance of that taking place at all under Obama. Somehow investigating government curruption is now a bad thing under Trump though! Yeah, that depends on when you look at the poles and what poles, and Obama wasn't much more popular when he was in office, and the media was kissing his ass. If you had any objectivity about Trump, you might wonder if all the unfair media coverage of Trump might be having an effect on the polling, and you'd also note it has spike up into the Obama range several times, but we're back to your lack of objectity. Yeah and spin "high profile" Republicans, who the base hates because they sell out on immigration, as a bad thing, while your party has leadership older than the average AARP senior member. Maybe the left losing some of its prominent Democrats would be a good thing too unless you like have Nancy P as your spokesmummy... I'm not actually sure why you do participate in these discussions. Your mind is closed, you said it yourself, to paraphrase, nothing could ever convince you Trump isn't bad since no objective fact can change your mind. That means you have no objectivity, why bother? And don't try and act like we're all mindless Trump drones when we don't agree with your mostly mainstream media hate-driven opinions on Trump, for me, I will drop support for Trump when he goes after the first and second Amendments like the left in this country has.

Yes, because the Trump admin, who has a record-breaking economy going, with record-breaking low unemployment, and a higher GDP than Obama ever achieved, and who has our NATO allies finally taking defense seriously and starting to pay their fair share, and who has gotten the remains of lost soldiers from North Korea, and who got a tax cut through that helped me and everyone I know, and appointed a great judge, is much more concerning than one party going insane, and throwing away its long-held values to try and resist Trump, while ignoring all the good he has done. P.S. SPACEFORCE!

I hope you don't approve of private leftist corps acting like fascists, cause its not the government. Anyway, I wasn't responding to any link or a particular post. I'm making the statement, I think I've been making for years, that leftist in this country no longer value free speech. And yeah, I know the 1st Amendment, only protects us from Government action, and even though Don posted about how much money they take, that's not even the point. The point is, Freedom of Speech is a plain old good idea, a good idea for everyone. I am very suspicious of anyone who wants to restrict free speech. I find it disgusting Harvard is doing something like this, but its par for the course, whats shocking is anyone is defending them with "well they are a private" line of BS. You act like this is the first time this has come up, but just go back and read the descents on the last few Freedom of Speech cases that went through the supreme court.

Here's the left supporting free speech.

Not sure what your response has to do with the lefts blatant, across the board attack on Free Speech. Frankly, the left wing pushing hate speech laws is a bigger threat to this country than anything Trump has done.

It's like they don't understand, eventually, the government will declare their speech hate speech and ban it too, if we let that camel's nose under the tent. The left was far easier to support/take seriously when they were not blatantly anti-free speech. Ironically, if they did get hate speech laws passed, a bunch of vile leftists who spew hatred at white, and Jewish people would be the majority of the people punished. At least if the law were not written to blatantly attack only right-wingers, but I don't think the left has fallen that far, nor could they get a biased law passed, and then the supreme court, even a few of the lefties on it, would still kill it. This is why Trump's judge pics have been so good.

Hey look the left showing its support for freedom of speech again.

Cali needs to contact Coulson Flying Tankers and get the Mars, that's sitting around in perfect condition with no contract, and get it in action.

Yeah, it probably varied a lot unit to unit how much they tolerated. Back then Officers could make things pretty miserable for men who blatantly broke the rules. Once in combat they would have less time to care, but I bet tampering was way less common in units still in the US training.

It sure sounds like an R975 to me. The gear ratios in the Sherman and Grizzly are the same, so the only speed differences would come from the Engine RPM Governer, and who knows how the one on that tank is set, assuming its and R975, and R975 powered Shermans are still pretty common. They complicated all mechanical little contraptions with weights and springs and finding people who even know what one is, in today's day and age is almost a miracle. I'm pretty sure even back when these tanks were new, the governors were not something the crew was allowed to mess with. If it broke, they took it off, sent it back for repair and put a repaired one on, that was delivered on a truck and came from a parts depot. I'm going to have to watch again and really look the back end over.

Or just move the offices out of New York State?

But he didn't have the trash in a proper bag, so the fine is totally cool!

I love that video. How often do you get to a Sherman hauling ass down a road, I wouldn't be surprised if NO other Sherman owner gets their tank out of second gear, and would be actually surprised if any ran them at max speed, in fifth like these guys did! Hell, the music isn't even horribly annoying, and they stop it later in the video! It a shame really, mechanical things like to be used, and getting the engine up to speed, and keeping it there is good for them. Same with the Tranny and powertrain, heat that gear oil up and really get it moving around! Who wants to see a tanking puttering along at walking speed, like they are afraid it's going to break down like some German tank, I wanna see them hauling ass!!

At least one is, Bill Marr, is hoping for a recession because he thinks Trump's economy is too good to get rid of him otherwise. Maybe he watches Marr. I mean as impossible as that seems, some people, somewhere, must still watch Marr.

Nice work on that image clean up. Having done a few myself now, very clean work, it looks great.

There are enough around in Canada( I think), someone should measure one, like the Chieftain did with the T29 Heavy tank a few years ago.
