Is the M8 the longest serving armored car?
>>62496947One more in wedding white.
>>62496681For me, it's the M8 Greyhound, it's still used by Colombia and it even destroyed a Tiger 1 once.
I want a real one.
Chonky boy
for me it's the Humber
>>62496681>It's a car>it's armored>It's an armored carChange my mind.
These seem fun, an armoured lorry with a frikken lazer.
>>62497047That's not a BRDM tho. It's a PSZH, the Hungarian FUG's turreted derivative. Or are you using BRDM generically for 4-wheeled scout cars developed in the Warsaw Pact?
>no CentauroYoink.
>>62497695I'll be honest, I just thought the PSZH was a funny german name for the BRDM.I probably should have questioned the myself after spotting the side door and the missing middle wheels.
>>62497286>even destroyed a tiger 1 onceSadly that story is most likely bullshit. It was probably just a misidentified pz4
>>62497725You can be forgiven, though that acronym in German would probably be for Panzerhaubitze, or an SPG in burgerspeak. Hopefully the East Germans had graduated from Sd. Kfz. to something simpler and more specific for their BRDMs.
>>62496914Looks like something from old sci fi
Panhard EBR, with drivetrain by MC Escher and HR Giger.
>>62497922This gets worse the longer I look at it. How was the reliability?
>>62497969Dunno, but some were in service for a long time in places. Couldn't have been impossible to keep running.What you don't really get from that photo is that is the engine was an air cooled flat-12 located under the fucking floor. Everything about this vehicle is surreal.
Panhard AML 90
>>62498452I was wondering how you'd fit the engine in there. It looked like the driver was entirely isolated from the rest of the cabin. Honestly, a boxer engine in the floor was a good idea. Lowers the center of gravity without taking up internal space.
>>62496681You done did it.

>>62499794GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GARDEN
>>62496918I know (knew) someone who drove a Ferret around Phoenix. He was broadsided by a drunk Mex in a F350 back in the 90's. The collision all but destroyed the Ford, and the beaner broke his arm trying to beat his way into the Ferret with a tire iron.Yeah, this guy saw the drunky Mex crawl out of the wreck, pull a tire iron, and his first response was "Fuck Him, I'm in A Ferret!" and button up.
>>62500262Somebody said "I wanna bring back sword bayonets" and this is what won the contract?
>>62499827Huh. It's basically just a wheeled 250
>>62496681This thing is so much fun to play in Warthunder. I'll go back to 2.0 BR and put just this on my lineup. Tanks? Planes? All are fodder. Anything with a higher BR on the lineup and the magic starts to die though because you can't pen tanks as easily.
>>62497922french engineers actually confuse the shit out of me.how do these 'people' continually design this deeply flawed psychotic Looney Tunes bullshit.... that mostly just works well enough.It's like Icarus couldn't actually fly close enough to the sun to be in any danger.

Can’t recommend this book enough. I got a physical copy for like $20 on ThriftBooks. Christopher Foss fucking rocks. He has a book on defense contractor advertisements for AFV equipment (modernization packages, turrets, thermal optics). A lot of his stuff is available for free online as well, even on the internet archive
>>62502204also luv me fiat 6616, too bad only the darkies use them for mindless head-on assaults
>>62500324I know this thread is about armored cars and not tanks, but your story reminded me of one that I have. Here in Finland reindeer collisions are a real traffic hazard, and the most common killer of conscripts is traffic (source: I'm pretty sure about it). So anyways back in 2013 we were in a field exercise and heard that a vehicle hit a reindeer doing like 60km/h. Kinda hit us all, thoughts and prayers, you know. Anyways our sadness soon turned into laughter when we heard that the "vehicle" in question was a 60ton Leopard 2A4 main battle tank. Later heard from someone who saw the thing the reindeer just pulverized into pink mist.
>>62498574You have to take the turret off to pull the engine.

>>62502260>the reindeer just pulverized into pink mist.Saw the same, but it was a M60 at Camp Grayling. You could see the TC hollering into the mike, but the driver was buttoned up, and that dumbass deer was not moving til it went under the tracks.

>>62496681Morris Light Recon. Three guys sitting in a row, driver in the middle, side turrets with a light MG and an AT gun. Something which would only ever be effective in early WW2.

>>62509934driver's seat doesn't look very comfortable
>>62508609Glorious Rhodesian Tumblebuggy.>>62508982The front wheels are supposed to be blown off.The connections between drive, steering and cab sections are intentional weak points so that when they hit a mine instead of shredding and mangling the whole section of the vehicle it blows the tire that hit the mine, rips off or bends the rods connecting the wheel units to the body and then the rest just gets thrown around.The guys inside then fight off the ambush, which was never really an issue they won like every fight, and then repair the very easily reverse damage to simple lightly built failure points.A more robust connection might resist a mine that would immobilize this vehicle. But that more robust framework if disabled in the field by a larger would not be repairable and the vehicle would have to be abandoned in the bush, and like captured and scrapped by rebels.As it was designed in nearly all cases hitting a mine would blow the front wheels off and stop the buggy, and then they'd just get out and re attach the wheels with relatively light parts that could be easily packed into the bush precisely because it was so simple and minimally built. The idea with the thing was to make it so the crew would always survive a blast and then have the drive system built out of parts so simple and common that it could be patched together anywhere.

Probably the dumbest thing ever but it's a tossup between this and the Bob Semple.
>>62511462So you have drones dropping grenades and directing artillery all around, and somehow that makes you think having your vehicles shrapnel-protected is a bad idea? Well if you think any protection that doesn't render you perfectly immortal is useless then feel free to strip naked and run screaming towards the enemy.

>>62497541I would say that for a vehicle to be considered an armored car, it needs to be constructed out of armor plates as part of the frame itself. The HMMV is a utility truck to replace the Jeep.
>>62514814>The HMMV is a utility truck to replace the Jeep.its actually a 2-in-1 replacement for the ford M151 and dodge M37it had the handling characteristics of a 1/4 ton truck but the cargo of a 3/4 ton truckthe jeep was already replaced for 40 years at the time the humvee was acceptedthe humvees high capacity of 3/4 tons meant you could take up to a 1/2 ton of armor while still retaining decent speed
