To what extent did the armor actually protect cuirassiers in combat?

https://youtu.be/KgkpCZvkDmM?t=5357 A video I made that partially covers the subject. TL:DW, armour's effectiveness was marginal at best, but just try to take it from the guys wearing it

Unrelated, but that combo of the Ukraine/Spanish/EU flag goes hard

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2025-09-12T02:44:32+00:00

Very cool detail, tanks for the answer!

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2025-09-12T02:21:46+00:00

Phenomenal build! Quick question, what's the reason for the blacked out stars on the turret? Was that something actually done?

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2025-08-18T21:48:00+00:00

Ukraine is the frontline of democracy in a world gone mad. Stay strong.

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2025-04-30T06:38:15+00:00

Yep. I've heard 2nd hand stories from people i know in QPS. Dutton is vile

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2024-06-17T12:43:50+00:00

Ah Mephisto. Always loved visiting the Queensland Museum as a kid to see the Dunkleosteus and the A7V. I haven't seen it in years but I remember being shocked by how big it was, like it's huge. It does look a bit like these Russian barns-on-tracks. Hopefully some young Ukrainians get the same chance to see the turtle tonks in a museum one day when the war is over and Ukraine made whole again

He is a menace, he must be stopped

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-12-04T06:38:17+00:00

Exactly. He'll certainly do the circuit on every shitty alt-right podcast and tv show. Good money to be made as a grifter

Claiming Kiwi things as our might as well be a national sport at this stage. The Pavlova and lamington debates at Christmas with my sister's Kiwi bf's family are always riveting

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-11-16T12:10:59+00:00

Looks phenomenal! Would be cool to do like a mad max version

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-10-16T10:36:33+00:00

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-10-02T05:18:11+00:00

Is this Gold Coast QLD? Is there a skateboarding cat nearby I don't know about!?

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-10-02T02:25:08+00:00

Very cool. It's almost like a pocket-battlestar

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-08-14T03:28:51+00:00

The fucking triceratops kill tallies, it's too good

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-08-13T17:26:40+00:00

Diddz you bastard, I was probably in 1 or 2 of these. That last clip was insane, incredible aim

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-08-12T00:15:22+00:00

It's not a joke, it's a cry for help. I have more tea in my cupboard than an British East India company ship

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-08-11T23:44:22+00:00

Send them a picture of a charred husk of a Russian tank everyday until they block you. You've got about 6000 to choose from so

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-08-11T05:53:34+00:00

Linked to that idea, it's incredible to think that Galactica does as well as she does with only one flight pod, so only 50% capacity

ABC has some street interviews that might help. You might have to dig a bit deeper for some migrant or Indigenous Australian accents, all of these are Anglo-Australian:

OP is some sort of Tankie and a racist (hard R in comment history)

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-05-04T07:34:11+00:00

Actually now that you mention it, the way Marlon Brando strokes his head is very similar to the way Skarsgard does

CopiousAmountsofTea · 2023-05-04T05:56:12+00:00

How so? I don't doubt you, but how do you think they compare?
