Fun fact about the Type 94: The suspension wheels had the exact same diameter as the typical manchurian furrow.

It jumped repetively each time it crossed a rice field and a few minutes of that treatment were enough to make every crew member completely KO.

 

It was such a problem that they actually modified the tank, hence the bigger back wheel on the late models.

Today I got a Hobbymaster prebuilt 1/72 scale M18 tank destroyer in the mail.  While I always knew it was a relatively small vehicle, I never realized just how small it was until I compared it to other models.  It's really no bigger than an M24  light tank.  Here is a picture of it next to an M24, an M10 TD and a Panther.

I posted about this thing several times, IIRC first info leaked about a year ago.

I made a post on my blog with lots of pictures of early WW2 US armor at Ft Knox.

This is my favorite of the bunch.

This seems relatively ill-advised unless your tank has been disabled

So you can buy a T-55 Driver's night vision sight (TVN-2t) in Baghdad Black Market.

India is apparently working on a Thermobaric 120mm tank round.

Given how their procurement process seems to work, I am pretty confident that the round will be excellent for putting out fires of all sorts.

I wish I knew more about postwar British tank development.

I wish i knew less, we should trade sometime 

[Collimatrix]

I think that's one of the alternate configurations considered for chieftain.

 

Cleft turrets deserve another look in my opinion.
