>APC Made by a Finnish company to replace the MT-LB & M113 for NATO
>>65583566cute
>>65583566Fuggg :DDDD
>>65583566they just be slapping M230s on everything
>>65583579Your tone suggests this is a bad thing.
>>65583584of course not, it should be standardized even faster
Is it intended to look like it came from a cod.game?
>>65583584It's fed by Nazi ammo.
>>65583618even better
>>65583566>project name: Patria FAMOUS>cool, finally a marketable name. Hell must be frozen ove->final product: Patria TRACKXWe would fail to sell water in the Sahara Desert, wouldn't we
>>65583594i love seeing the kongsberg logo popping up on more hardwaretotal scandinavian militarization
>>65583617That's fucking cool. Love seeing around do this. Used to happen sometimes back when I operated a bulldozer if it had rained a bunch.
>>65583617Holy shit, that looks like solid ground until it very much isn't. No wonder the Russians got fucked.
>>65583801Yeah, most of the south-eastern part of Finland is basically forests, lakes and bogs. And occasionally, black clouds of mosquitoes.Many of those bogs have been drained over the centuries since they're among the better places to grow something in there (the soil can be pretty thin or sandy in places), but some of them are still like that.
>>65583623Is Finnish advertising notorious?
>>65583831They're too autistic to appeal to human emotions.
>>65583594>>65583584>>65583579I always feel a vague sense of unease at the idea of universally adopting a weapon like this that requires electrical power to operate, like it should have a manual capability. I suspect it comes from the west's utter inability to even consider the possibility of making a Gast gun.
>>65583831Most finnish advertising has the letters *fin* in this exact succession at least once or its in the name of the brand. So TRACKX is an improvement.
>>65583831Consider that we tried making a bread named "RAPE" for export. EXPORT.Because, you know, "rapea" means crisp. But the final A was too hard to pronounce and what the fuck are you even doing
It looks like it's good on paper but not reality.
>>65583885Its fine. Not great not terrible. They just need a metal box to hide from bullets and shrapnel.
>>65583899Lol okay
>>65583566>Read brochure>STANAG 1Well thank God they don't have to worry about threats like steel core 7.62x54, after all why worry about something that can't happen?
>>65583926That is the price to pay for low ground pressure.
>>65583931At that point why bother? Why not just issue out old school busses for the job?
>>65583931I don't think ground pressure is the issue, to replace MT-BLs it has to float, any up armor kit will probably involve floatation skirts. I am mystified as to why it doesn't appear to already have BMP/Nork style hollow road wheels.
>>65583876i'd buy some rape bread
>>65583951You don't want to try eating a sandwich that doesn't want to be eaten
>>65583594L O W E S T B I D D E R
>>65583599CoD slop literally apes real world shit.
>>65583876HowlingMutant in charge of marketing.
>>65583926Anon, it's an APC.
>>65583801from a couple of years ago
>>65583566They did what Ukraine did and gave a Soviet vehicle side doors.
>>65584017>MT-LBHave these gone extinct yet?
>>65583944Wheels don't cross country as well due to high ground pressure from a fraction of a circle making the contact.>>65583949Floation kit won't help when bottoming out in marsh or snow.
>>65584017And that's with something that's actually meant to cope with those conditions...
>>65584095But if it can't stop rifle bullets then it seems pretty pointless overall. Obviously doesn't have to stop crazy shit, but has to stop 7.62 AP rounds, seems like a bare minimum
>>65584095>Floation kit won't help when bottoming out in marsh or snowCorrect which is probably why they didn't bother using one in their terrain. Still could use hollow wheels.>>65584011Armor typically includes small arms protection, if we ruthlessly mock Russian APCs and even IFVs for not being protected from small arms i don't see why the Finns should be immune to mockery. They clearly want a bigger role for it than intended for the MT-BL hence the AC.
>>65583801t. heavily clad German knight stepping into a Samogitian forest ca. 1230's
>>65584142I sunk my whole leg up to my hip in some boggy ground that looked solid. That happened as a kid, now over 20 years later I still worried it'll happen again but be all my person next time instead of just a leg
>>65583617>>65584017Why not use airboats at this point? These are basically the cold, muddy, slavic version of the Everglades(the Everslaves)
>>65583926If STANAG ratings for projectiles are all measured at 30m, how does that translate to longer ranges?
>>65584256Airboats need to be light. If you try to up armor an airboat then you will end up with a hovercraft with all the extra thrusters needed to keep it afloat.
>>65584256>Why not use airboats at this point?Because those are an engineering nightmare, noisy as fuck, difficult to control, hard to keep armored, and you generally don't want to have a dozen different vehicle platforms on each and every army branch if possible.
>>65584109Armor is always a luxury to the luxury of having a cross country ride with cabin ac and storage in snowy winter. Full power rifle and machineguns isn't as common as before intermediates are accepted. Small cal AP is highly sensitive to range degrading the velocity, and dense cold air won't do it any good either so penetration at a distance may not be a guarantee. For kinetic bullets of little after effect, penetration only means a possibility to kill. Most thin skined apc won't go down easy with just small arms fire.
>>65584323One would think that the Finnish Khanate would be smart enough to making something that protected against 14.5mm since they have Imperial Hwan troops on their border.
>>65583566rubber band tracks? i guess they would be light. but, man, the durability. any break and they are junk.
>>65584389Some rubber track are segmented like those on m114 so you only need to replace a segment much like the old shoes.
>>65584017>lights up cigarette>'such is life in the zone, dmitri. aahhhh, motherland'
>>65584243i went over my ankle in a little patch of ground once and pulling my foot out sucked my 10 inch boot right off.
>>65583623>Patria FAMOUS>>65583853>Most finnish advertising has the letters *fin* in this exact succession>Patria FINMOUSWhat could've been...
>>65583617why is russia like thisthey dont even have rocks
>>65585288But they have T I G E R S, isn't that more important?
>>65584416okay. that makes sense. i always think band track is like the old shit like on WW2 halftracks where they just coated steel cable with rubber.
>>65584091iirc they're critically endangered in the wild but there's still a few healthy populations in captivity
>>65583852Imagine being a retarded brown like you and posting this
>>65584296>and you generally don't want to have a dozen different vehicle platforms on each and every army branch if possible.Pretty sure that ship has sailed on both sides
>>65583617BOGGED
>>65585288A buddy I knew referred to Russians as "dirt people" like 15 years ago, because of how Russia seems to always just be flat brown fields, and it stuck with me since. Dirt people
>>65584091for russia? yeah pretty much
>>65583566I wish to boop the snoot
