Everybody (and the kitchensink) knows that the difference between the two was the slightly improved design of the shade-holder, enabling the gunner to draw his shades 0.0005sec faster on the P-22, which makes all the difference when the tanks come out of the sun, or if there are French maidens around and you want to get laid. IMNSHO the fact that important aspects like this are not being modelled makes the whole game not worth playing. If you don't think so, you are clearly dafter than even Ethan. Back to school for you, obviously. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Should we continue to badger each other over who knows how much? Nyet. Is it possible that there is someone on the board who knows as much, or more than I do about a specific topic? Mais oui. Should we all relax and compare notes? It won't be the first time that "scholars" have differed in their view of the facts. Si, senor. (Sorry no extended ascii for me) Are there other polyglots on this board? Ja. Enuf said, let's all play nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you daft? It took the technical design team at {OMITTED FOR SECURITY REASONS} two years to come up with that design enhancement and you deign to refer to it as a SLIGHT improvment? The P-22 (Hamster variant) was clearly superior not only in draw time, for which, for once, you have provided the correct times, but also in the important area of elderberry filtering which, as you should but probably don't know, was a fatal flaw in the P-21 variant which couldn't discriminate between elderberries and chokecherries causing the gunner to choke on his cherries. Please Andreas, stick to what you know ... whatever that is ... and don't presume to clutter up this topic as you have so many others. Can you imagine what Skorzeny must make of this thread by now Joe edited to delete references to Andreas and the Black Goat.

Chupacabra Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Andreas, Joe, you are both clearly out of your leagues. The P-22 was merely the American designation for the British FPE-7 "Thadwapper" mantle, and not a variant on the P-21 "Sasquatch" mantle. I'd advise you both to check your sources before you embarass yourselves again. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Henri Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 I probably should shut my big mouth, but whaddahell, Skorzeny sez he studied at my University (in public relations? )and that like me his mother tongue is French I think that the source of the conflict is that Skorzeny came on (purposely or not) projecting the image that he was a newbie who didn't know much about weapons and tactics. Since he was a new poster, some grognards tried to help him with advice that he took as condescending . someone tried to be helpful by mentioning language. He retorted angrily and the flame war was on. Let's all chill out. C'est la vie...

Mannheim Tanker Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Joe Shaw and Germanboy, you both clearly need to go back to school. Any WWII grog worth his salt would know that the P22 was fitted with a Holy Hand Grenade dispenser! The P69 was designed with the "Shade" attachment. Sheesh! And y'all call yourselves scholars!

Joe Shaw Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Well actually HE calls himself a scholar, some kind of "Fellowship of the Ring" or something but it apparently has something to do with some MADAME ... wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. I, OTOH, call myself ... Joe. And I've become very good at embarrasing myself, taken it to a rather refined art form in fact. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take your real world knowledge and,err, do something with it (please note, for the purpose of this discussion, 'something' in this or any form and also mean 'or other').

Oh quite so Andreas my learned and serious friend with discussions ... and stuff. While our discourses may appear to the uninformed {couGITomgh}to be less than topical they are in fact not ... off topic ... which makes them on topic ... kind of, as far as they know. Andreas, we'd still like to know about your friends the lumberjacks and how "Okay" they actually are ... but I sense a "Silly" padlock coming on so we now return this thread to it's original owners and may God have mercy on their souls.
