  1. Machine translation in 1967, goddamn. I wonder how readable the initial output was.
  2. http://tankarchives.blogspot.ca/2017/04/porsche-suspension.html The Soviets made a pretty comprehensive report for the British, who were also quite puzzled.
  3. One of the early IS-7s had an external volute spring suspension because the hull had no room for any suspension elements.
  4. Foam core or air filled? Air filled tires offer a smoother ride, but are obviously easy to shoot out. Foam core tires are bulletproof, but have the downside of settling if you're parked for too long, so the first few minutes of your ride will be very bumpy.
  5. That setup looks extremely vulnerable to mines. Did the Japanese write anything about suffering damage from Chinese IEDs?
  6. Wow, that guy is really mad about a business doing businessy things.
  7. Ah, the good old DTIC special. Scan at maximum contrast, and damn the consequences.
  8. They all kind of blend together, to be honest.
  9. Back when I was posting on the WT forums I had a guy tell me that "not penetrated" actually meant "penetrated" in one of my Russian documents because his East German friend said so.
  10. We discussed it here and there. I think @Jeeps_Guns_Tanks had his blog comments infested by DeJohn for a while. I briefly considered trying to con a review copy out of the guy, but couldn't be bothered.
  11. http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf German scientists secretly recorded talking about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Another stick in the wheels of the German A-bomb.
  12. They put the 20 cwt gun into the TOG too? I thought it only had 17-pounder and 3.7" gun variants. Maybe I'll have to buy the book too
