Urdnot669 @ More tanks.

Stands for "Special Armor". Not to be confused with the M1A1SA "Situational Awareness" variant used by the 278th ACR and other units in the Army National Guard.

Urdnot669 @ Iranian Tiam main battle tank

This. It's like almost every military in the world is using tanks built by the same six countries (Russia, China, Germany, UK, US and sometimes France). They're either bought and used as is or they're modified a bit, given a different name and called "new". It does get a little stale.

This is why I respect Japanese tanks despite the fact that their prewar and WWII era tanks may have been mediocre and their postwar tanks may be completely unproven in real combat but almost all of them besides their first FT-17s and their Type 61s (based on the M47) are indigenously designed.

To me it's more commendable to put all of the time, effort and resources into designing and building something of your own instead of simply buying someone else's hard work, slapping a new coat of paint and a few accessories here and there and calling it yours. But that's just my opinion.

Unfortunately work and lack of access to a proper computer prevents me from getting on here as much as I used to. :O

Urdnot669 @ Chinese tankers

More than likely these are Nationalist forces but I can't really tell by just looking at them. They gave the Stuart the title the "Bear of Kinmen" during the battle of Kuningtou.

I'm sure quite a few do but many on here like to bash WoT because it's "unrealistic". They aren't wrong but because since it's not a sim it was never really intended to be.

I'm confused. So is this something that's being released as a stopgap until the M1A3 is released or did this replace the upcoming M1A3?

Japanese Type 10 showing of it's hydro-pneumatic suspension. Popularmechanics.com I would avoid the comment section though as it's likely to be filled with "OMG second Pearl Harbor is coming" and "I bet it crushes like rice paper" kinds of people. lol

This is how it is at my house. We also save sour cream dishes and the thick plastic takeout boxes and soup cups from the local Chinese place.

Tennessee (my home state) is landlocked (not counting the Mississippi river that runs down to the Gulf of Mexico) and is hundreds of miles from both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and thousands of miles from the Pacific coast.

Unless the company supplying them has access to some teleportation technology then there's no way those oysters could have gotten there without being frozen first. So they can't be "fresh".

Old spoiled oysters made him sick.

China's Norinco just talked **** about the T-14. Possible Sino-Russian tank ******* contest incoming? Either way shots have been fired. XD Finance.yahoo.com

The A3 variant is currently in development but they've been pretty tight lipped about what changes it will bring. Though it's probably time to just build a new vehicle entirely. The Abrams platform has gotten old.

Urdnot669 @ X08 Selva Tigre

I actually liked the Federation. The idea of a Latin America super power doesn't get used much in the mainstream media. When they're the antagonists they're always stereotyped as a drug cartel or a corrupt dictatorship.

So them being the premiere world power with a professional military greater in power than China and Russia is pretty cool.

It's too bad that Infinity Ward can't write an original story to save their lives though. Ghosts should've been made by Treyarch, they have better writers. Black Ops 2 is probably my favorite CoD game singleplayer wise. Besides the original ones set in WWII anyways.

Urdnot669 @ X08 Selva Tigre

I dunno man it looked pretty even in-game. They both seemed to kill each other in a single shot in every stage they were in. Not counting the stage were the player controls the tank obviously but that's more of a concession to gameplay.

What confuses me is that if the T-90MS is better than the X08 then why is the Federation still wasting time and money building it?They've had the T-90 in service since at least 2015 as proven in the flashback mission so why have they kept building an inferior tank for the past 12 years when they could have been building a better alternative?

The Federation is the number 1 military and economic power in the world at the time the game takes place so them not being able to afford it isn't really a valid excuse. XD

To be fair though isn't a lot of the Philippines tropical jungles and swamps? Tanks don't really do to well in terrain like that. I guess they could at least buy some light tanks like the Stingray that Thailand uses though.

Urdnot669 @ Tank Lovers Group

Time to play a little game in the comment section. I got the idea from a forum topic I saw.

I know our group here is pretty multinational so I want to try something. We all love tanks but do you actually have any in use in your state/province/territory etc? And if so, what kinds and who uses them?

Here's my example.

User: 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment. History and info on them. En.wikipedia.org Globalsecurity.org

Vehicles used: M1A1 Abrams SA(Situational Awareness)variant. Armyrecognition.com , M3A2 Bradley CFV Fighting118th.com , M1129 Mortar Carrier Military-today.com , M109A6 Paladin M8.i.pbase.com and of course Humvees.

You don't actually have to find a picture of the specific unit so don't worry if you can't. Just the vehicles they use is enough to get the point across.

The sad thing is that my girlfriend at the time actually bought me this as a gift but I never actually got to play it because her bratty little sister broke it before she could give it to me. :(
