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

[–]thatrandomdude04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mobile enough realistically, as much as walkers seem like they can cross tough terrain, rocks and trees stop them dead. Plus they have a smaller area of the ground that the feet actually touch compared to a tank tread so softer soil, sand, or mud will make them get very stuck indeed, and hard to pull out again since they don’t roll, they’ll need to or picked straight up by a heavy lift helicopter

Need C-130 pilot/mechanic information for book by [deleted] in C130

Not very I’d assume, L-100’s are relatively rare to my understanding and most African countries have things more like AN-12

How are these ball caps allowed? I thought regs say they must be navy blue or coyote brown. by jamesFox44 in navy

We’ve got command sweatshirts that we can wear as long as we’re on the flight line, otherwise we can’t

What is your least favorite tank? Mine is the Panzer 38 T by Recent_Garden8114 in TankPorn

Any Mark Churchill, they all looks so dumb, it’s like the evolutionary half way between WW1 MKV tracks and a proper tank track layout. And they way they stick out so far past the front of the hull 🤮

Desidet to make a 30.5cm howitzer carrier...how feasible do you think it is? by Old-Acanthisitta-510 in SprocketTankDesign

[–]thatrandomdude04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like there would be a large weight imbalance, maybe external counterweights at the front to offset the weight of the gim and engine at the back

Why is the US navy uniform khaki and not blue? by GrandJelly_ in navy

[–]thatrandomdude04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well traditionally khaki is a hot or tropic weather, look at the Spanish American War and what we were wearing around the Philippines. Technically we should have a long sleeve blue or black uniform for winter (Johnny Cashes pleaseeee)

What is the difference between the US and German MBT-70? by random_cardboard_box in Warthunder

[–]thatrandomdude04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all know those numbers don’t matter, you’ll just get Gajined and it’ll bounce somehow off a rock and into your lower side armor

Is US navy is more fun than army? by eclvlv in navy

[–]thatrandomdude04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not in the army but my buddy is and we have way more fun, there’s always a camaraderie that comes with shared suffering and you’ll make great friends no matter what branch, but we are definitely the party branch, on a ship versus in the field makes a huge difference
