MikeyD Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I'm surprised nobody's brought up the entirely bedazzled T34-85 tank in the Blackpink video 'Ddu-du ddu-du' (the title is meant to represent gunfire, BTW). No Blackpink fans in your area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Regarding Prob Bob's youtube lecture above. My old dad always said "Never trust the Liberal Democrats, they're just as bad as The Tories". And sadly he was proven right just a couple of months before he died in 2010. Meanwhile here is a tank, maybe not sexy enough for the willy scalders amongst you, but it did a decent job in the Western Desert. ... "I can't find FartyTrollers anywhere on this bleedin' map".

John Kettler Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 For WW I (and maybe mass produced tanks in general), the hands down winner for ugliest, in my view, at least, is the St. Chamond. Not only does is look ugly, stupid and ungainly, but from a functional aspect, it seems optimized for taking core samples out of the far wall of a trench when crossing! The Cromwell baffles me. As a tank that looks martial? Full marks. But as a design I'd want to go to war in? Seems to me that the positive aspects of the Crusader, all those sloping surfaces, were abandoned utterly, resulting in an armored box whose only real armor slope on upper hull and above was the glacis plate, a device for assisting arriving projectiles to hit the driver's plate. with everything else vertical. Compared to a Crusader, the Cromwell was a super tank. Regards, John Kettler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least it was based on an M6. Not many were made and it was so heavy that Eisenhower said No Thank You. We don't want it. The original tank had guns and machine guns sticking out everywhere. Someone who knows a little more about it might elaborate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 MIkeyD, Have seen various pics of the many times repainted (including hot pink overall) T-34/85 in some UK park, but not this one. If the tank's self-aware, does it cry inside over what's been done to its proud martial self? Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually on a piece of waste ground just off the Old Kent Road. Not far from where Brian Epstein used to get beaten up when he went out looking for rough trade. It is seen here sporting a blend of NHS blue, rainbows, hearts and a poppy. It reminds me of the days when County Hall would be "adorned" with the number of unemployed, just to piss off the Milk Snatcher. ... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
