Tank time is my vacation
I wonder if all this drone bullshit means the re-introduction of lightweight support guns.
>>65145583why would it? drones both allow you to lob HE at things easier and those guns offer nothing to deal with them. even more so, with the proliferation of modern portable anti-structure munitions like the AT4 there's even less need for it.
>>65145619is that some sort of field hospital or comand center set up?
>>65145720yep field command setup
>>65145715>doesn't tumble overdissapointing
>>65145414Is that a M5 Stuart in the garage?
>>65145757Should have called it the kotatsu setup.
>>65145815M8 HMC but we have both here
Fuck you, modernized Stuart.

>>65145839What is the rate of Kurd removal though?>>65146062That's pretty neat. Was hard to tell from that angle.>>65146459Each pic I see of that really doesn't do it justice to judge the scale and how big those things really are.
So anons thoughts on posting tank diagrams? Oui/Non?
>>65145414Oh I really liked that tank restoring show on Amazon, looks like a similar shop.

What's the gayest tank?Not in your face sort of gay(No assault guns or self propelledartillery), but still loves men kind of gay.
>>65149196You named the only two straight options and called them gay, you faggot.
>>65149198They are gay by tank standards
>>65149198>>65149200They are only gay if the guns penetrate.
>>65149210Pro-tip: "hand-job gay" is still gay, faggot
>>65149314I bet you are a Panzy tanker.
>>65145399how similar where the 17 pounder and 76mm in performance?
>>65150715nice
>>65148987
>>65150440the US 76mm?76mm was not as good as 17 pounder, though the reason the US didn't go with using the brit 17 pounder on later shermans is because they thought the new 76mm would perform just as well. Obviously it did not once it went into production, but it was still a decent gun, on par with the 77mm HV used on the comet
>>65148459Do you have a higher res version of that?
I just like the look of the turret
>>65151589>First Bong tank to combine a dual purpose gunWas the 6pdr from WW1 a joke to them?
>>65153085I feel like I should call this the fuggpanzer and I don't know why?
>>65154030love Walker Bulldogs esp. the export diesel-reengined upgunned ones
I found a cool vid of a Jap recovery vehicle towing a tank that broke down on the road. Theres even a little cutey jap crew woman.https://youtu.be/YxOPulxyhzk
>>65154072Really shows how useful the adjustable suspension is outside of purely combat situations. They also drop the suspension when its time to load ammo as well which seems like another useful situation.
>>65154072Combat engineering vehicles are really underappreciated I feel.
>>65145414GI museum?
I don't want to start a separate thread. So let's just post it here:>An Australian Abrams tank lost during the defense in the Zaporizhzhia direction
>>65156924I was half expecting it to be upside down.
>>65156924how was it killed? just artillery? or did the drones get through the hedgehog armor eventually?
>>65159283Crew drank fosters inside.
If there is disturbance in the ground beneath the tank, or if the tank appears to be sinking, we suspect it may have been hit by a landmine.
>>65156924why is its turret still on?
>>65159923Forbidden non-Slav magic technology anon, please understand!
>>65162780The only decent Buick.
>>65162891concur
Ratted out T-64BV.
Is T-26 the perfect home defence tank?

I love Korean War tank artWhy didn't tankers do the same thing during WW2 and Vietnam?
>>65165494They did?
Just coming in here to say I finally got some kills with IS-7 after about ten games with just being raped.
>>65165546So you are now one of the pantsu elite?
>>65165656>RestoredDoes it drive?
>>65167422
>>65167424
>>65165604NEVER RETREAT.
>>65165531I stand corrected for VietnamBut what about WW2?
>>65165494
>>65167914WW2 they were going out their way to hide their tank for good reason. I don't think if anyone tried tank art they survived for long outside of a parade.
>>65164326This would have been funny in the year nineteen ninety never.
>>65145399Oscillating turret my beloved
>>65167914Patton would whip them
>>65174151I wonder if that would have been pretty useful in Korea?
>>65174346I think? a lot of the M18s were retired by that timeM39 utility vehicle, that barely saw any World War service, was used in Korea
>>65175586More a case a fast lightweight 105mm howitzer seems ideally suited to the terrain of Korea and I think the infantry would have loved such mobile fire support. Then again Shermans did exist.
Barn
>>65145625That's nice.
>>65175903T88 was under development for the invasion of Japan. It was another open-top turret design like the Army's 'tank destroyers' and M8 HMC, by Korea those types had overall been relegated to second-line units or export.
/k/, playing Metal Max, can you help identify these tanks?

>>65177402>>65177406The armoured car right top is BA-10. I think every BA-6 had the turret with the rear overhang. And the T-34 looks like a bastard child of a T-34 (1943) and some post-ww2 upgrade with a high velocity gun. The first tank up top left looks vaguely like the German leichttractor.
>>65177414>the T-34 looks like a bastard child of a T-34 (1943) and some post-ww2 upgrade with a high velocity gun.There was a T-34 with a high velocity gun in WW2 though?
>>65177422and yes they did get put in the 1943 turret albeit images for these variants are ultra rare and not the best quality.
>>65177406Red Wolfs tank is ALWAYS a red Merkava custom
>>65177406Lower right is the Monotank
>>65177716Lower right is >>65177726
>>65177422>>65177425Correct, the 57mm. But that thing in the garage has a bore evacuator.
>>65179210Actually what the shit? Almost every gun has one. Well that looks gay.
>>65180004explain
>>65180004I love the :O face
>>65178726Of the tanks from 2R
>>65180800checked
How does it feel inside a tank when a shell hits but doesnt penetrate?
>>65181757Like someone putting a tin bucket over your head and beating it.That is, if there is no spalling or somesuch.
>>65181757You know that anon that put a metal pan on his head and had bb shot at it? That.
>>65145551gaijin pls
>>65180777S35 tank destroyer prototype without the cannon.
>>65181794>>65181844Ok, what’s small arms fire like, I mean a shitload of it. Offer a guess? Like heavy rain?
>>65182427Depends on the tank.
>>65180777>>65180791IF this image IS REAL it is the prototype of the Somua SAu-40 a sort of TD\CS SPG based on I believe was theS-40 chasis. This image shows it without the 75mm gun and cupola. Images of this tank are not very common.
>>65183507I just noticed that S-35 has got a face like its desperately holding in a fart.
>>65183455Let’s say a Maus
>>65174109What's up with that shot of a tank coming up a hill slightly side ways aiming at something in the horizon behind the camera that makes my penis so hard?
>>65183712Its returning from a trip fucking your mother.
>>65184379Mom I posted it again!
>>65183507tanks anon
>>65145625Why did recoil buffers below the barrel go away, sorry I only know an autistic ammount of information about small arms and am branching out?
>>65146797"Lets make sure to put the petrol tank directly under the emergency escape hatch"
>>65186387it was a weak spot that needed to be armored. keeping it inside the turret solved that problem. because it it gets hit then the cannon is useless
>>65186389It was literally the second tank ever designed. They didn't know what they were doing.
>>65186389>>65186431The design hasn't exactly change much and if you are in a position where your fuel tank has exploded yet still having to use the rear escape hatch you've got yourself into one hell of a retarded situation.
>>65187137>The Sherman DelusionStill was a decent tank though, especially the later models. And having stuff like an APU and a gun stabilizer really put it ahead of its time, even though the crews didn't even know how to turn it on and use it half the time.
>>65188866Still the best tank of the war. The main issue is they were running on the assumption that the Germans were only going to be churning out Panzer IV's and Stug III's which even a 75mm armed Sherman is more than capable of dealing with. In hindsight we know just how wrong they were.
>>65189450>best tank of the war / 'churning out'No. It was the most produced, and quantity beat quality (in more than just AFVs) for the Allied side. Also quantity 'made' quality, the logistical superiority of America (compared, for example, to USSR) meant that they had access to the best raw material supplies, machining facilities & process, American mainland wasn't being bombed or shelled every 12 hours et cetera. Like the German factories, machine and workshops were. That's why every NPC says all the fucking time>'it was the best of the war'And the arguments about "well the Germans should've dumped ________ and built ________ instead" are hypothetical and not relevant, if ? Germany hadn't invaded Russia mid-1941 and instead somehow concentrated on shoring up its regime's access to needed fuel and raw materials so that what it built industrially was reliable, well machined and QC-manufactured then a ? Panther tank for example might've actually been able to replace the Panzer III-IV series in quantity with quality reliable final drives and metallurgically sound armor by 1943-44. But that did not occur.The war happened the way it did, because it did. There's no alt-history or cherrypicking to be had
>>65188866>this machine kills cishets
>>65189509What would your pick be then for best tank as nothing over 40 tons is going to be in the running not with the way infrastructure was at the time.
>>65192094>best tankOf World War II? Panther hands down. It also had the best power to weight ratio of any non-light tank aka normal tanks.Whether Germany was able to properly mass-manufacture, maintain, and deploy them (in sufficiant numbers or otherwise) after the year 1942—by December of <--said year they'd ninety percent lost the entire war—is another question entirely.Runner-up might be the M24 Chaffee, a good balance for what it was. Both the Panther and Chaffee properly examplify where tanks were headed post-1940s. (Diesel engine power hadn't yet become a thing and wouldn't until the 1950s-later)
>>65192188>sufficiantsufficient*
>>65192188Panther was a decent tank, one of the few Gernab tanks used post war in any significant numbers, specifically by the french. The 75mm used on the AMX-13 basically is a copy of the gun and could fire the same ammo. Unfortunately had transmission and engine problems which required them to govern the engine and limit RPM's
>>65193342Manufacturing quality control, and source materials/metals quality, of all German tanks simply worsened from 1943 onward, even though the (for example) Panther was design-improved in subsequent variants D — A — G. From the engines to the drivetrain, transmissions to the armor plate etc. all of Germany's manufactured output suffered and degraded as time went on.Yes the Panther was for its time an excellent and futuristic overall design.
>>65193566checked, beobachtungswagen
>>65181757You probably don't feel anything because a 20 lb projectile is not going to move a 30-ton object in the slightest degree. Also you probably wouldn't really hear anything particularly loud over your ear protection and anybody who says that tanks "ring" when getting hit is an unbelievably stupid fucking moron.
>>65195467walker bulldogs are kino
>>65195590I still want to live in a timeline where that got attempted.
anyone ever play this? i still play it often
>>65195614impaired
>>65195578what
>>65193342>The 75mm used on the AMX-13 basically is a copy of the gun and could fire the same ammo.What gives you that idea? Different ammo dimensions, different barrel length etc, you cant put Pak-ammo in the SA50
>>65196001>>65196012nice muzzle brakes
>>65196001>>65196012>>65196353tactical advantage?
>>65195650another example of how fast doctrine and design changed from 1940-42
>>65196544Its very much from the interwar design school. I think it was even meant to be multi-turreted at one point.
>>65197656>multi-turretedthat was a thing
Yes the original design concept had two separate 75 mm turrets, and two secondary 37 mm / 20 mm (ea.) turrets with .30 cal coax
>>65196012So, Lorraine 37L with 17pdr?>>65196001Renault UE2 with 6pdr?Also what the fuck the system thinks this is spam what the fuck?
>>65197778What the fuck why is the word Chenillette considered spam?
>>65197779>>65197778Okay it doesn't, why did it think that was spam then? I removed chen and it worked.Yes it's the three words together... Was this spammed at some point? I cannot write Renault UE2 and then the other word in the same post.
>>65146797Speaking of the FT...
>>65197778>>65197779>>65197784Next thread is going to be French tank spam edition isn't it?>>65197786A lot of technology we think of as modern is in fact quite ancient by our standards. Its only that recently that things have matured enough to make the viable.
>>65197784>>65197778yep thats correct, france decided to use british weaponry ford themand yeah, wrod filters on this site are a mystery, some are the result of shit that happened over a decade ago.
>>65197832I have always wondered what sort of encounters the tankers had that they considered nail armor needed to be a thing?
