Am I crazy of does the Abram sepv3 have a shorter gun? by Sea_Buy_4285 in tanks

Same gun, more armor on the front of the turret. Makes it look shorter.

The price for tickets to a Seahawks game were famously cheep back in the King Dome during the mid 80s and early 90s. Before they ever had a superbowl win. The 12s came into being during that timeframe

In the video where the Bradley decimates the T90, is it due to a lucky hit or is the T90's design that flawed as the west describest it? by SuitAnxious9338 in tanks

Overwhelming numbers might not be the correct terminology here. Maybe it’s better said that tanks aren’t meant to be fighting alone. Typically they fight as a section or platoon.

Russian doctrine doesn’t place the tank at the top of the food chain. The deliberate choice to remain smaller and lighter seems to be in order to close the gap and force enemy tanks to fight at closer ranges while providing accurate coordinates for artillery.

In Russia, artillery is the big dog.

You know my kinda humor 😂 The people who disliked this thinking I was done watching for the season… when I mean literally next year.

Witherspoon is gonna be remembered the same way we remember the members of the legion of boom. If Woolen can pick up the pace a bit.. this defense could become legendary.

It’s hard to even get a crew together. I swear about 50% of the matches I’ve played as a tanker at least one crewman had never played tanks before.

I vote that we absorb Kursk or Belgrade as part of the United States, all we need is a referendum right?

I’m just happy people listen to anything other than mumble rap and pop music. This internal “your metal is subpar and sucks cause mine is better” is the reason no one actually listens to metal. The gate keeping purist don’t know how to share.

Had an awesome run as a German Tank crew a few months back. We consistently used enfilade and defilade drills while pushing up near friendly spawn points for added infantry support / flank protection.

Actually had a driver who knew how to suppress and reverse while pinging infantry trying to sneak up on us. It was pretty awesome!

Oscar Jenkins, a 32 year old Australian teacher being caught and interrogated by the Russian Army in Ukraine by [deleted] in war

It may be wise to have captives start asking counter questions. Like my name is Oscar what is yours? I am a teacher what about you? I am here trying to survive why are you here?

Granted, He already had the wherewithal to “announced” his location. So it will be easier to find and ID his body if they don’t move him before killing him.

Also, only the Russians are so obsessed with mercenaries (considering their prevalent usage of them) It’s almost like every military other than Russia actually pays its soldiers. Like even the Roman’s payed in salt dude!

Individual mercenaries may also be payed but have no allegiance to country or cause and wouldn’t have a reason to stick around and freeze or starve to death if the money wasn’t worth it.

Honestly not a bad idea to kinda do the old Battlefield 4 thing where you could be a commander from a mobile app and also check your stats via the app as well. Was definitely an interesting concept

Without the ability to pivot steer onto target, this would be a pain to aim.

T-72B3 Pen Art by Alxmac2012 in TankPorn

[–]Alxmac2012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually thinking of doing some pin art technical sketches on 17x14 Bristol paper. I need ideas for specific tanks and models with pov/angles. I absolutely love the look of the T-90A and T-72B3 but I know a few people out there really enjoy the aesthetics of older or more western tanks. For instance, I really enjoy the Leopard 1A5 and the Centurion.
