How does /k/ rate Cobras HISS tank?
If something looks cool, it will perform well.
As a tank its shit. But as a specialist high mobility vehicle with an anti aircraft capability, its got potential. Like a wiesel, but for sneaking an anti drone platform into areas Joefags will never expect.
MARS latest iteration of the HISS tank has scaled it up to squeeze in a 3-man troop bay, finally addressing a long standing complaint. But continues to expose the gunner and tries to makeup for its other shortfalls by strapping more guns and missiles onto it.
>>64191011Miniguns for drone defense I see. Good to know Cobra has already adapted to the drone meta.
>>64190962It looks like someone sawed off the rest of the tank just ahead of the wings.
>>64190962if it stops quick does it nose dive?
>>64190962It was probably based off of some prototype vehicle like most G.I. Joe toys. I think Germany is wanting to field something similar to it to replace the Wiesel. Calling it a tank is on the same level as C&C calling things that aren't tanks tanks for the normie audiance.

>>64192817What are the Bradley's pronouns nowadays
>>64190962Isn't Cobra like... a more competent version of Wagner group? A private military company that you can hire to do some military bullshit, if you are a tin-pot dictator that can't really trust your own army?
>>64193271Depending on the iteration, theyre a mercenary organization, finance bro antifa or the vanguard of ancient lizardpeople.
>>64192817both the larger-hulled Wiesel 2 and the luwa definitely look like they could be Cobra vehicles with some mods.
>>64193241>Mfw I have Lady Jaye locked up in my dungeon >>64193271Not really, Cobra is an international terrorist organisation that wants to rule the world while getting bitches and money. Wagner was supposed to be a deniable asset for the Russian government (originally but it was so obvious that the pretext was dropped completely come ‘22)
>>64193378I remember reading some G.I. JOe comics which had stuff like "Cobra is here on behest of the local national government, they got hired to do some PMC shit, so we can't technically touch them without causing an international diplomatic incident. And like some of their stuff (like the Terror-Dromes or HISS tanks) were specifically the stuff that they offered for sale for those third world countries at very competetive prices, as opposed to US or Soviet shit.
>>64191011>>64192100Does Cobra use US weaponry? So is that M134s and Bushmaster IIs? Or GShG-7.62 and 2A42s?
>>64190962The V5 is probably the most practical version of the HISS tank, although even then it's more of a fire support vehicle than a true tank. This one has an actual turret and a cockpit that isn't made out of a giant sheet of glass.>>64193446That was more an exception to the rule. Their main goal has always been world domination; they just happen to find some like-minded people along the way.
>>64193477They're based in smalltown USA, but do most of their work in 3rd world countries, so I doubt they have a preference.

>>64193271>>64193446>Cobra is a Ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.They aren't controlled by any other nation, and they are not mercenaries. They have their own company called ARBCO that they use to transport weapons and supplies all across the world. They have deep ties to Extensive Enterprises which is controlled by Tomax and Xamot. They also have deep connections to Destro's MARS which major Bludd also worked for. In both the cartoon and sunbow they are depicted running drug operations or "helping" local governments. Acting as mercenaries is just a front for their real local operations which support their international terrorist operations. The cool thing about Cobra as a opposed to other fictional terrorist groups is that they are legitimately a 3rd state. A group that is in control of islands, and base's all across the world; and that they are the ones doing the infiltration of governments on its own accord as opposed to being a front for government operations.>>64193477They use what ever they can get their hands on including US weaponry, but a lot of their weapons come through MARS, or other sources through ARBCO. MARS is the primary source along with their internal operations around the world, but they have used US and Soviet weaponry a lot.

>>64193243This wasn't an active HISS, this was a training exercise.
>>64191011Where was that guy standing before the door opened? Did the computer guy have to stand up to let him through?
>>64193252>Watch me dodge this exploding tank real quick
There's a lot to like about GI Joes vehicles, but the hiss tank was always a misfire for me. Just doesn't look very cool even in a toyetic way.
>>64194655Guy in the door slid down the bench after first guy got out.
>>64194730I didn't look closely, I thought that guy was typing on a computer for some reason.
>>64193241>>64193243What is this literal IJA shit
>>64194782Don't worry about it.
>>64194787>omae wa mo shindeiru.... cobralalalalalalala!
Sssssssuperb, I designed it mysssssselfProblem?
>>64194787How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>64193271Actually Cobra Commander is a used car salesman from America, who was distraught that his brother came back from the war with PTSD.No Joke, Cobra Commander is using the business of war...to end war as a business.
>>64194670Still got to love the sheer hilarity that Cobra decided that the A-10 is perfectly capable to be used as a fighter jet.
>>64193477propriatary MARS weapons

>>64193271they would sell your Terrordrome flak towers
