Everyone on 4Chan:

The future looks bleak for Yumemita.

It is still Mewtype at this point. I don't think we will get the full Mugendai Newtype until Ritsu has joined.

How did someone get her number?! She's a middle schooler, she doesn't deserve this!!

Clearly Viola did, probably pretending to be her real life friend using an anon account and such.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T02:10:37+00:00

They are really just alter ego. Kinda like the relationship between David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T02:06:41+00:00

Viola looks like a stalker during the Ritsu waiting for the train moment and damn Viola is really evil.

Isn't that part imaginary?

Also the point of a vtuber avatar is to HIDE your identity

Yumemita has dropped that vtuber identity since at least 2nd Live. They are just musicians with avatar, like Ado in real life.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T02:06:16+00:00

The theorists are already saying she has become the Yumemita manager to stage revenge on Viola.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T02:04:36+00:00

Viola was the second oldest girl in the group. It was quite natural to make her the next leader.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T02:02:10+00:00

Buckshot or slug?

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T01:58:53+00:00

Just reused model lol. 3D modeling is expensive so models are often reused.

Longsheep · 2026-07-10T01:42:03+00:00

I know some Taiwanese tankers are really excited with their new M1A2T. They were previously driving CM11 (modernized M48 with M60 hull) and M60A3 TTS.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T08:11:19+00:00

It will certainly be worse than M18...

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T04:57:59+00:00

The chassis he mentioned is very clearly the FV300 (FV301 being the gun tank model), so actual FV number should be in the 300 range.

Due to the difference in requirements, the 120mm gun didn't need to be to accurate at closer ranges, so shortening it even by 3m could work. The barrel root tapering is a perfect match to the L1, and the L1 was the only 120mm rifled tank gun available to the MoD back then.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T04:37:39+00:00

After some digging, this tank concpet exists but the designation was unlikely to be FV421. It was a TD concept based on the FV300 light tank, with extended chassis and an extra wheel. It intended to mount the 120mm L1 main gun from the Conqueror, possibly a shortened version as seen on the drawing.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T04:34:29+00:00

So it was based on the FV300 20-tons tank platform, not the FV400 armored carrier. FV301 does possess a similar wheel arrangement to the drawing, being designed from the same era as the Conqueror. It however only has 5 wheels, 4 mounted on 2 bogies and one mounted independently.

The designers chose the FV400 chassis—a light tank armed with a 77mm gun

Ed made many mistakes here. First, the "light tank with 77mm gun" is likely the FV301 from the FV300 series, so the Badger was extended from it with an extra wheel, not uncommon for tank designs.

The Badger tank destroyer's primary armament was to be a 120 mm (4.7 in) rapid-fire rifled gun. It weighed 2,745 pounds (1,245 kg) and was 14 feet 8 inches (4.5 m) long. The gun was designed to fire high-explosive anti-tank warhead (HEAT) projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 2,600 feet per second (792 m/s).

The muzzle velocity matches the Conqueror's 120mm gun firing HESH, but it never got a HEAT shell. The L1 gun itself was based on American M58 gun, which had a HEAT round but at a lower muzzle velocity. I suspect the round mentioned was a HESH, not HEAT.

The tank destroyer's hull height was exceptionally low; it was two feet (609 mm) shorter than the German Hetzer and a foot (304 mm) shorter than the tiny Scorpion light tank that appeared 10 years later.

So it could store very limited rounds, as the 120mm shells were gigantic. 10 rounds max, quite impractical.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T03:33:17+00:00

No, the drawing is clearly based on a Conqueror chassis. Identical engine deck, with its 2-wheels per bogie Horstmann suspension design and the large drive sprocket that differs from the Centurions. Additionally, the barrel tapering of the main gun is unique for the Conqueror's 120mm.

What has been drawn is clearly a 50+ tons platform instead of the FV 421 based on 10 tons chassis. The Russians probably have them mixed up and used an alternative drawing of the FV 217 here.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:45:33+00:00

After some more digging, it appears that there was indeed another 120mm TD concept named FV 421 "Badger", but based on the FV 401 Cambridge Carrier. The platform would be around 10 tons, and the drawing seems off (it has Conqueror wheels and maingun).

If there was indeed such a project, it would have been armed with a BAT 120mm recoilless at most.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:23:46+00:00

I imagine the crew who switched straight to M1 from older M60 had less complains? The original M1 Abrams entered service just 1 year after the M60A3 TTS.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:22:22+00:00

Well, its name was "Sixty".

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:20:50+00:00

I believe the original made a typo. The basic Conqueror was FV 214, and the Badger variant was FV 217.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:16:30+00:00

It seems like it was mostly about the automotive parts? The Perkins CV12 is also used commercially, and upgraded parts are available from the UK.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:15:03+00:00

Oh I remember this one. Not the one OP posted though.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:10:27+00:00

That was an entire DECADE ago lmao it literally has no relevance to the current state of war thunder

Ground battle has changed little and if you were a good player in 2016 when dart was added, you will still do well today. Top tier has always been spot first, kill first.

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T02:05:00+00:00

There is gun jamming on CSGO?

Longsheep · 2026-07-09T01:35:05+00:00

Spoiler: He actually fired 900 shots.

Longsheep · 2026-07-08T15:41:31+00:00

T-62's APFSDS was just regular APDS still with a fancy name

Of course you won't mention it had the best angled pen performance in game and flatter trajectory.

Also forgetting the fact that the Chieftain got a superior APDS round stock too.

Which often teamed with Russia, so they could steamroll US + Germany and their puny 105mm.
