renhanxue Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 British report on the S Tank. I really wish they had this in PDF instead of 168 different pictures. Still, renhenxue and sp15 seem to be pretty cool. It would be nice to get those dudes on here. Hi hello, Google Analytics referer stalking brought me here. :V I guess I could make a PDF if you want one, shouldn't be too much effort. Also, I guess I should mention I'm TheFluff on SA. sp15 posts almost all drawings I find in the WoT forums thread (well, the low quality handheld camera versions, the scans I have to pay good money for we're a bit more restrictive with) but since almost everything else I find is in Swedish I don't post much of it since there's been very little response to the documents posted to my blog. I do have like 15,000 photographed document pages on my Google Drive at this point though and if you speak Swedish I'd be glad to share them - just send me your email address and I'll share the folder with you. Per Tanknet, S-tank got new APFSDS, but it wasn't as potent as the APFDS used in their centurions at around the same time because the autoloader couldn't handle the longer rounds. I'm pretty sure the difference in muzzle velocity and pen was kinda insignificant but I can't prove it because it's not declassified yet. I'm also pretty sure I recall reading somewhere that a feasibility study of upgunning the 103 was done but it was discarded as too expensive.

renhanxue Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's the S-tank equivalent of the Tigerfibel, do you guys want the entire thing even though it's in Swedish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I can't read Swedish, but I can always badly mangle it through google translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's the S-tank equivalent of the Tigerfibel, do you guys want the entire thing even though it's in Swedish? Does it have as many naked chicks as the Tigerfibel? If so, please post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renhanxue Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 No naked chicks. But here you go anyway, enjoy: http://imgur.com/a/1iSr0 I added some very brief summaries in English to most of the pages.

Life_In_Black Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Found this online earlier tonight: http://www.ww2f.com/topic/16506-post-war-use-of-axis-afvs-and-vehicles/?p=205624 I wonder what the Swedish thought of the German vehicles (and the lonely M4) they tested?

LostCosmonaut Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Saw this posted on the WoT forums earlier; Main armament was supposed to be a 47mm or 57mm gun. I'm guessing it wasn't in a fully traversable turret, but I can't really tell from the drawing. If it was fully traversable, it would be pretty cool for a 1920s/early 30s vintage design.

I'll see about giving you a translated summary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scolopax Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Apparently, the Ikv 105 was a contender in Army AGS search. As for something else unrelated, I know for a fact that I had army-print pajamas as a kid with Ikv 91s on them. LoooSeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scolopax Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks. I'd been lurking here for a bit now, having seen some familiar names and lots of interesting posts and information. Finally decided to come in official now I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scolopax Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 North American birds in general, but the Woodcock holds the place as my favorite. Perhaps a bird thread may appear in the zoology section. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renhanxue Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Chillin': Also, I found the holy grail: That's a blueprint for the Krv hull that was actually built. We previously believed all blueprints had been burned back in 1958 but apparently some seem to have survived.
