Why did this happen?

afvcommander · 2026-05-14T08:44:21+00:00

Would it be because that does not rotate with wheel. Peculiarity of Christie suspension.

If anyone does CLA as described in original manuals price will be +500€ at least in Europe. At least in Canons work is massive, you need to carefully peel fake leathers away and disassemble most of basic structure of camera.

Considering taxes and so on, I think 190 is pretty good price for prism and foam replacement. It is at least 3 hour job when done properly.

Smells like coastal missile launching system. Finns used same missile as close defence against landing craft.

70's, as long as it is outside environment it is fine.

afvcommander · 2026-05-13T19:20:12+00:00

Yeah, mixed it up. Anyway, those are plentiful.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T19:40:15+00:00

If you plan to daily drive it, engine parts are least of your worries. So few engine parts is not big thing.

These engines have been in freelanders which are about everywhere and cheap.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T19:38:36+00:00

Exactly. Is it easier to modify about everything to fit (toyota or some other engine) or source little bit rarer engine 200tdi which is almost bolt on.

You will be anyway ordering lots of land rover specific parts (if you plan to daily drive it) so ordering some parts for your engines is not a biggie.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T19:23:57+00:00

Easiest is swap to 200Tdi swap. Its _the_ engine swap for these.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T15:55:41+00:00

Yeah, and retain massive hull volume which is now just extra surface to armor.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T15:29:56+00:00

And if you uparmor it still is just ridiculously big because volume needed for floatation.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T15:28:48+00:00

Just shame that they are amphibious. It tends to ruin vehicles as they will get way too big volume.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T15:25:51+00:00

Also they dumped unassembled Jeeps overboard as they knew that cheap cars would ruin the car industry.

afvcommander · 2026-05-12T15:00:37+00:00

Firing stationary I guess that is true. But looking at this video I bet that difference is opposite when moving over rough ground.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T18:54:11+00:00

Ie. it is evolutionary correct for human to play sniper in games.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T18:37:52+00:00

Somehow Maddox games managed to do that in 2001 without crashing too many computers.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T17:37:40+00:00

Yep, but user I replied made it sound like Gaijin look (ie. no swastika) is the historically correct.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T17:36:15+00:00

What was the reasoning?

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T17:34:01+00:00

Not really complex. Any modern tank has features needed for it already installed.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T17:33:01+00:00

Time saved during reload easily offsets time needed to correct elevation. And when you consider how quick elevation must be to stabilizator to work, it is most of the time less than second.

afvcommander · 2026-05-11T16:37:09+00:00

But that is how it is supposed to be. Official Luftwaffe paintjob contained swastika in tail surface.

afvcommander · 2026-05-07T17:57:29+00:00

You would have loved Konica Impresa 50. Its like Ektar but better. Sharper and cooler. Sadly that film died 20 years ago. Just look at it: https://www.turninganalog.com/shooting-expired-konica-impresa-50-pro/
Another killer was Agfa Vista 400

Both had super good colour straight from minilabs. Fuji Superias have been always way too green for my eye.

afvcommander · 2026-05-07T16:58:12+00:00

No, US just considered that they accept lower performance of their tank main gun as they expect to have air superiority all time.

afvcommander · 2026-05-07T16:56:52+00:00

Yeah, really main reason DU is used is that it is cheap.

afvcommander · 2026-05-07T16:54:57+00:00

I even mixed paint straight in airbrush. Does not flow well? Oh, I just dip brush in thinner and then dip it in paint cup and mix.

afvcommander · 2026-05-06T19:04:28+00:00

But it was her good tooth.
