Amazingly mine are all tanks. Google thinks I'm a nerd The "can't be knocked out from the front" thing is to make it the ultimate weapon of war, because the myth of german invincibility, when challenged by the reality they lost, tends to be that their strategic decisions were awful but on a tactical level they were perfect. They won all the battles but lost the war, kind of thing. The idea that the KT can't be destroyed in a standup fight, but can destroy anything else in turn, and is vulnerable only to their lack of fuel or allied air power, fits perfectly with that idea.

What is the likelihood that the creepy sex thing was actually porn with people dressed as tanks? No, I'm not going to check if anthropomorphic tank porn is a thing

Do you want it in tanks loving, anthropomorphic tanks loving or tank sprouts tentacles to gently caress a girl flavor? It's probably somewhat rarer than anthropomorphic A-10 porno.

The sexy planes thing seems to be a really bizarre offshoot of the sexy sharks thing, and the fact that's happened is pretty goddamn wild.

HEY GAL posted:are we talking about the sexy planes thing or the anime girls as sexy planes thing There's two sexy planes things, I think. There's sexy literal actual planes, who look kind of like sharks with jet exhausts and wings on their backs, and sexy anime girls in plane costumes like strike witches.

Of course tank sex is a thing, but the question is, is it only considered gay if you're the tank being penetrated?

There is nothing wrong with it as long as the dominant tank is the more superior model.

Tanks penetrate APCs and other lesser vehicles, tank on tank is an abomination and you all are going to hell for even sugesting it.

Ensign Expendable posted:The front came apart at the seams from one hit of 122 mm HE. In trials this also caused the tank to catch fire. It isn't penetration if the plate is intact, no matter where the plate goes! (Imagine a in a stahlhelm or something here)

Ensign Expendable posted:I'm pretty sure that the original claim was "never penetrated in combat from the front" and then "never penetrated in combat in the upper front plate". Wehraboos are dumb as bricks, so that gradually became "never penetrated in combat". Sounds like the allies aren't the only thing that will never penetrate.

Back in the day when two armies met at an open pasture and then the stronger side beat the gonads out of the other one, how did they cope with all the cow poo poo piles? We call them slide mines for a reason, wouldn't a pike formation marching through a dense 'mine field' quickly turn into a slapstick performance??

I would imagine they probably wouldn't fight in a cow field, because cows are quite resource intensive and like land that would probably be suitable for arable crops. Generally if you're farming for efficiency you'd either grow arable crops or keep sheep or goats or something else that likes rough terrain. Also for a lot of human history there wouldn't have been large open fields of anything because that's a modern invention as a result of consolidating many small farms into one big one owned by some rich twat. Or at least the open fields would be this weird patchwork of stuff being grown by hundreds of people, sort of like an allotment, rather than single wide open fields with everything growing or fallow at the same time.

I'm interested in different notions of honor and cowardice. What would bring shame to a soldier in the era you like to study?

There's some good studies on shame and cowardice with relation to conscientious objection, seems like it's been a while since I rambled itt. Might be of interest? Edit: VVVV was slightly more in a "I'm off to bed will do in the morning thing". I always just post about CO stuff amidst the tanks and pikes. lenoon fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Nov 23, 2016 |

spectralent posted:Where does the "No king tiger was ever penetrated in combat" thing come from? Even really basic places like Wikipedia seem to note that there losses (sometimes significant) from combat and presumably not every tank lost in combat drove in a puddle and drowned. I thought that claim was only for the frontal armor.
