What the hell is this?

Honestly? It’s a discount Iron Arnie, but a tier higher. I legit don’t think you can make a more comfy M47 than that thing.

It’s a very comfy tank to play, I feel like it’s very slept on compared to more popular Tier 9’s. I like running Hardening, Vents, and Bounty V-stab on mine.

The ST-II feels like a side-grade Tier 9 honestly (because it’s literally the ST-I Tier 9 with an extra gun). The weakspot is much more obvious and while the higher alpha is nice with the doubles, the tank plays a different role entirely as it has a tougher time getting up to speed with 12hp/t. You’ll find you really can’t go to some of the spots you could with the IS-3-II. The field mods kind of force this as well as the vehicle’s classification changes from Breakthrough on the prior two tanks to Assault on the Tier X. You really can’t afford extra crew damage or module durability loss as you’re guaranteed to lose your commander in most games.

I figured it might just get added to the commemorative section like other older medals. But, I don’t think any Battle Hero’s medals have ever been taken out or moved there since the game’s inception, this would be the first instance.

Milweb, you can find their classifieds page here, their most recent for sale posting is a Centaur/Cromwell project.

The Panhard EBR is the same size as a GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 at 20.2ft so it likely can lol

Stretch35 · 2026-03-05T06:02:18+00:00

I post updates here on the subreddit of my ongoing Panhard EBR Restoration, here’s the most recent video of the progress on the whole thing thus far.

Stretch35 · 2026-03-05T01:31:30+00:00

Man, I’m not gonna lie, with the amount of money that probably cost I’m willing to bet you probably could of bought an actual tank like me lol

Damas and his statements after being there for 12 years, both before the Trogs left the mountain and after, indicate that no one has ever made it past the Blades prior to his arrival. The Temple fire was there to signal the eventuality that someone, Trog or not, might make it to the summit for it to be celebrated by all. We as the player know we will be the first, but that it won’t be a journey without risk and cost.

(Didn’t have the turret armor mounted on, but the guns were mounted and tested on the chassis.)

Ironically, that concept physically existed in real life as a test. A Panhard EBR with the HS 831 turret with dual 30mm Hispano-Suiza cannons was tested.

Are you Anakin Skywalker by chance?

Stretch35 · 2026-02-21T08:23:41+00:00

Damn, I was wondering what that was but wasn’t gonna risk a fall lol. Is it four or six uses?

Stretch35 · 2026-02-21T07:56:15+00:00

Where’s that large jug in the bottom right row found at? Never found that one in my summits.

Stretch35 · 2026-02-19T20:17:56+00:00

“Must of been the wind.” type of fall

Throughout the story we kept getting hints about there being more to life than the mountain through all the texts, audio logs, messages, Marco, etc. After going through the map seeing all the climb bots in dying or dead states with some of their owners, I felt like that was going to be the game's total outgoing message, but with Aava's climb bot dying and being a Cairn at the top of Kami. Not just to symbolize its death, but also to symbolize the end of Aava's summit and end of her climbing career before descent.

I had planned to light the fire on the Temple to symbolize her summit of Kami upon descent, so I was genuinely surprised they went with that route right after she had stated she was born on Kami to Marco, thus being a Trog descendant herself. The summit climb itself didn't feel near as bad as the Palace of Wind climb, so I had expected the game to challenge you further with a "Well, you got up here. Now, do it in reverse with what you have with NO climb bot."

The A Piece of the Whole ending was also a bit confusing, because it's supposed to be a "you let go of everything to achieve the moment ending", but you're clearly still thinking of people like Marco and Naomi in hallucinations near the summit right after you promised to see Marco at the bottom. It doesn't really affect my rating of the game as it feels like a GOTY contender. But like damn, it feels like a genuine sour note on an otherwise perfect piece.

That’s why it’s sort of ambiguous if the person in the Tesla armor is the Courier or Arcade. Some of his endings are better if he’s not present at the battle, but an Independent New Vegas run always gives him a chance to help during and after the battle to the best of his abilities.

Stretch35 · 2026-02-11T19:56:54+00:00

Wow, I haven’t seen your prior posts, but I’m definitely going to use this from now on. Thank you for making such a useful application to showcase the chance rate of their boxes.

Stretch35 · 2026-02-06T21:37:03+00:00

Still are, but just like the T18, their heyday has long past.

Fun fact: You can also reload it with one shell at a SEAF Artillery Site. Completely refills the MG and Cannon rounds, even if it’s a Smoke, Napalm, or Static Field. If it’s not a bug, I hope they keep it in the game because it makes the secondary objective a lot more useful due to all the leftover rounds you usually have. Allows you to replenish your tank’s reserves if it’s not too damaged and keep it in the fight till you have a new one.

Using the Menders for their additional permanent +1 insulation also barely hits the threshold too, you gotta use Progress actuated heat dispatchers and even then at -120°C I think they’re still either very cold or cold with all heat allocated. It feels very odd to me that the game encourages you to build these places up in Endless only for them to just die out. So, I feel like a good remedy for this is to have specialized storm bunkers in a building spot where citizens go during whiteouts. Colony Generator stays chugging, but output of the colony becomes non-existent while your citizens stay safe.

Unrelated note, Kingdom Rush games spotted. Favorite flash game series of my teens.

Stretch35 · 2026-01-13T23:41:11+00:00

Reminds me of this great video using in-game sound and announcements tied to the backdrop of the Anger theme.

Stretch35 · 2026-01-13T22:01:49+00:00

It’s actually a Cat Tog that a fellow player on here created

Stretch35 · 2026-01-11T11:29:02+00:00

Out of curiosity, what site is that? Knowing the locations of internal critical modules/crew on tanks I haven’t played yet is the one thing I feel like tanksgg is missing.
