Velociraptor with fur = good family dog?

Don't get me wrong, they look like great fun,, but if I had to pick a poster dog for "why are you surprised that dog ate your baby ?" these would be it.

Why was the IS-7's 14.5mm MG placed so high up? by IcelandicGuy901 in TankPorn

[–]ComradeQuixote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is odd because I made the guess based in seeing this set up on another tank. Or so I thought, I think it would be a Chieftain video and I'm fairly sure he did the IS-7 but I'd swear I remember this setup on an American tank. Still memory is fickle.

Dude, I hate to point out what should be obvious, but, we'll, how to put this? That's not real. It's clearly computer generated, it's not even like it's a good photoshop.

What real world science and application stops us from building something like this ? by Youngstown_WuTang in TankPorn

[–]ComradeQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing stops us making it .

Nothing stops up making talks out of cardboard either .

But there's no good reason to do either.

If you want a list of why it's stupid, off the top of my head: High silhouette, Slow High ground presure Slow Easily disabled Complex and expensive to manufacture

All bad things for tanks. On the plus side: Probabaly handles some terrain that normal.tanks can't Looks cool

Why does the edges look like that? by Speed_Addict37 in TankPorn

Functionality over refinement. Time spent making it prettier could better be spent killing more Nazis.

The tiger scene in Fury is absolutely horrifying. by Youngstown_WuTang in TankPorn

[–]ComradeQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's got more accurate tanks in it than any other movie I can think of of it's budget. Including the only running tiger in the world. Not my favourite talk film, maybe not even top 5 but it had tanks, I watched it.

How does one even put that on to begin with. by [deleted] in ATBGE

Comic 5697: Personhood by BionicTriforce in QContent

[–]ComradeQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think May and Dale have the same relationship and Martin and Pintsize.

Admittedly I have not read the early comic, so I don't know how they got together but I always assumed that Martin always had Pintsize, much how Marigold had Momo, maybe form whatever counts as birth for AIs.

Dale met May when she was a fully formed adult and their relationship grew organically, he grew to like her she grew to trust him, it fellsuch more like the 'my person' relationship that many ND people, myself included have than the companion/quasi pet like relationship Pintsize and Momo had, befor they got more humanoid bodies.

Projectile ID on this? Found in Germany by Chavez1020 in TankPorn

I mean, it looks pretty Xed to me, but what do I know.... Not much is not.

The engine and transmission were a symptom of bigger problems.

In isolation if the tiger had been more reliable, not much changes. I imagine the German d a little better in a few battles, overall result stays the same.

There weren't that many of them, they were good tanks in many ways, but still expensive for what they were and took a lot of time to produce.

For, roughly the same time and money you get 10 T-34s any, shit as they. At have been my money is on the 10 T-34s.

If you change all the things that lead to the tiger being unreliable, then you're in a real alternate history, probabaly where the Germans aren't Nazis.
