If you were the one who had filmed a bunch of tanks blowing up, what music would you put it to, if any?

Chatter that a marine brigade linked up with Azov inside Mariupol. The longer the forces in Mariupol can last out the higher chance the seige will be broken.

Is that a brigade from outside the city, or part of the group west of the beach that hooked up with the steel factory group after they got split?

The 36th Marines were already in Mariupol.

You know even for the poo poo they’ve blown up you could probably finance a large part of the budget by putting parts up for sale on eBay. Not even controlled export stuff, just chunks or captured gear.

Obviously there are far far more important things and I say this mostly in jest.

Yes the 36th already inside. I guess if they can bring supplies to Azov then they can keep fighting. Don't know if they have the required supplies or these reinforcements will make a difference.

Sounded positive from their perspective.

It's going to be strange in another decade or so when the only russian tanks left will exist in War Thunder. Maybe an enthusiast can piece together most of one by hunting through various scrap / salvage yards.

I think it's the other way around. There were messages earlier from the 36th of being isolated and out of ammunition and food. Azov may have a secret stash they shared with them to get them back on their feet.

You're right. A lot of this is happening so fast right now so who knows what is situation right now, though.

Also something for the thread, a true Orky tank (in the 40k sense), the M2 medium tank:





It has one cannon, a 37mm that carries up to 200 rounds in a combat load, which isn't special for the time, but it also came armed with NINE machine guns carrying an ideal combat load of 12,000 rounds: 2 machine guns are mounted on the front-lower glacis plate, two on the front corners (sponsons), two in the rear corners, two on top of the turret outside the tank, and one mounted coaxially next to the cannon. It had 6 crew: one commander, one driver, and four gunners.

This was because some big thinkers at the time assumed that the machine gun would be the most important armament on a tank. Granted, they weren't alone- most nations mounted at least two to three and sometimes more machine guns in their tanks (usually one coax, one bow gun, one outer turret), but the USA took it to extremes with their pre-war/early-war designs. Other nations don't get off so easy though, to be fair, considering how many of them were testing things like multi-turret tanks and super-heavy tanks, but the M2 just has such the vibe of a bunch of dads meeting on the weekends with each other to build a tank.

That game sounds like it was made for me but I'm scared to buy it because I'm afraid it will take up all of my free time, which is spent online posting about tanks.

Honestly? Probably something like Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball". Something somber and beautiful to honor the scenes; plus the whole "wrecking ball" thing (for obvious reasons).
