StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)

So is there one covering the gunners and commanders spots?

That'd be Part 2

Shit, anyone want to link it, I'm retarded and on a phone and couldn't find it

Time to get some more Wiesels in here:

Lightweight composite roadwheels were trialed on the M60.  Somewhere there's a picture of a little kid holding one up to show how light they are.

I could get behind this neon underglow and sick rims trend in armoured warfare.

Is it just me or does looking at the Lynx's sides makes it look like it's made of plastic?

Selected YT comments

 

"Imagine if Maus entered serial production and worked without tehnical breakdowns, would allied tanks stand a chance?"

 

"Tiger tanks and crews, we salute you for your valiant bravery and efforts!"

 

"The Tiger actually saved on resources. This is what a lot of people don't understand..."

 

Fucking hell

[Collimatrix]

If the tiger tanks had actually achieved the sorts of kills that were claimed, then yeah, maybe it was a decent cost/benefit.

 

But then again, if what was claimed in Berlin were actually true, then by early 1945 the Soviets were unable to make another offensive, fortifying the Eastern Front was a complete waste of time, and that both Porsche and Henschel tigers should be produced because the tiger (p) was better for the North African theater and the tiger (h) was better suited to Russia.

Ze Germans were relocated from Kubinka to Patriot park.

Not just Germans, one of the photos had a SU-152.

They should really clean that garage.

Are you saying German tanks don't belong in the trash?

[SH_MM]

 

Let's germanize the bad British tank!

Nicht scheisseposten!

Actually I meant the things like that 80 ton hunk of scrap steel in the front.

 

It's taking up so much space.

[Jeeps_Guns_Tanks]

I hate to admit it, but that's pretty cool, but also probably  huge pain in the ass.

[EnsignExpendable]

True to the original, then!

[Bronezhilet]

Turns out that the driver seat of the CV90 isn't a seat at all, but more like a hammock. I did not know that.

Thickness of add-on plate on the turret front of the CV90. This is the plate that's to the left of the gun (to the right when looking at the front).

Thumb for scale. Hatch is about 3-3.5 cm thick.

Whatever this armour is called, the periscopes are the driver periscopes:

The glacis add-on armour from the previous post is the bit where the driver periscopes are located on. The previous photo is the right front.
