Woah, there's a buttload of space there. I understand now how important it is to chill when you suffer a mobility kill and drink some tea with your pals.

Niiiiice. Nifty army site! The italian's army sucks.

I know, I'm not justifying anything. Just saying, a hollywood dramatization (in the spirit of the soon to be "hobo with a shotgun") would be a fine sight. Right?

WHY ISN'T THIS THING A MOVIE ALREADY? Sticks akimbo and whatnot, outraged estonian dude. :D:D

Would there be internal pics with electronics in place, so we can have an idea of how much space the fighting compartment offers?

A hippy? You, M.E.? A tree hugging, wolkswagen riding, pot fueled, field frolicking, free loving hippie? OH SO MUCH I pray, tell. Every topic deserves to be derailed in favor of more details about that.

You can't possibly imagine how this simple statement turned my morning upside down with laughter. Funny. And, with current events, machinima's "Gheddafi reviews CoD 4" acquires a new level of hilarious.

Since this fine thread is gonna hit 300 soon anyway, why not devote it to cool tank pics, Damian? We need some eye candy all up in this bee-atch!

I had fiddled around the prophecies, and I say, reading the things instead of accepting blindly catastrophic predictions would have done the trick. End of the world is a gross, heavy handed, far fetched interpretation of what is written about the end of the current cycle.

Woah! It does look very convincing! Thanks, -E!

Goodnight, Polish tank-prince.

As I said before in another post, I like Osprey, but I recently read their stuff until my eyeballs bled, so it's a no-no. (for now) Plus Osprey books, for the sake of reaching a more comprehensive audience, perhaps, never get too detailed, not even in monographies, and they sometimes iterate trite stereotypes and consolidated military history assumptions (like the explodey soviet tanks of before). Don't sweat it! I'm quite tired myself, and I might go to sleep in ten-fifteen minutes.

Woah. A truly ponderous series of monographies. I already heard the name somewhere, so I can infer it's a popular author. I added Military machine to my bookmarks and I'm about to devour the first issue of "war machine".

"T-34 Mythical Weapon"? I'd like paper very much.

Well, there are bigger fishes than you, probably... but I have to see them yet in battlefront Forums! The knowledge of others here is usually of more general nature, and I myself do not aim for overspecialization in the field of warfare, and discourse with you is more fun then immobile essays on the internet. I could use a good informative read, yes. I'll see if the thing can be found in italian libraries (probably not).

You are an excellent teacher, Damian, but you lack empathy! My request of comfort was totally ignored! I even tried to stir a bit of Polish pride, yes? The spirit of Jan Sobieski and his 3000 winged Hussars trampling the Ottomans underhoof at Kahlenberg? Or Pilsudski's forces resisting the advance of Semjon Budjonni's 1st cavalry army? Heartless, Damian... Just kidding, of course. I'm very ready to learn new things, and despite my liking of Soviet/Russian hardware, I'll acknowledge flaws readily, unlike some idiot fanboys on the internet. And you've been a very knowledgeable teacher.

Ah! The seeds of infart! I feel them! Seriously the M4 was that good? I thought WW2 was one of the moments when the USA were still on par with the rest of the world. I thought especially the late models of T-34 were good competitors to the M4, and the IS-3 was tougher than the Pershing? Am I wrong again?

Hmmm. So the yanks are undeniably ahead in something. OUCH! I just felt a pang in my European pride. Sustain me with your fierce Polish passion, Damian, or I might fall.

I think we'll see a "WW2: Total War" before that.

Said so in other post, but for now no bad news came to him.

Guess the info I read was biased. Because they really rave on about explosive failure of the T-80. ALWAYS. Are my sources ****ed up? No literature whatsoever told me ammo cookoff was ever a problem in western tanks, courtesy of manual loading allowing for separate storage.

Yes. That ammo cookoff thing is really what russian type tanks should get rid of, not the crampedness of the fighting compartment. Well, that's bad too, but a soldier can get used to that, unlike HE ammo exploding behind your bum and above your head.

Hmmm. When they do something, these days, it's usually for export. Talking of export, have you seen the YATGHN? If they told me there would be an export west/east hybrid tank some years ago, I would have laughed...

So, you actually know their rules? I've been asking for an opinion about them since forever! Pray tell, if possible! Strudel may or may be not mailed to you as reward! Say, you prefer apple or cheese filling? Or maybe you'r like a roll of strudel with apple and one with cheese?

The Ukrainians have done really admirable jobs, surely, especially in converting older models. I think their T-64 BULAT is one of the finest pieces of olden junk out there. Kharkov's plant really was the great innovator, since the CCCP days, and Uralvagonzavod closed the gap only with the T-90.
