Spacman posted:If you roll your shitbox out and circle it about while cheering at full power while being filmed and photographed around here it gets seized for 28 days under anti dickhead legislation. You need to pay about a grand to get it back. To be fair, you don't need to do donuts in your new car in the dealer's lot just to make sure it won't break down.

Potential BFF posted:Aside from Soviet engineering at its finest, what the hell? Chinese knockoff of Soviet engineering, that is. The white paint makes me think it must haven been en route to a museum or mothball facility when it, uh, gave up.

I've been waiting to be a disembodied brain in a main battle tank since I was 12 years old. After 35 years, there's finally hope.

Omi-Polari posted:This is a fortuitous topic because last night I listened to this lecture by John Prados, who's a pretty cool historian (who also works with the National Security Archive that does a lot of FOIA deep diving). He pretty much debunks all the myths about "how the U.S. could have won the war," like invading North Vietnam. I've read the RAND report on using tacnukes in Vietnam. They said essentially that it'd work, but wasn't worth the escalation risk with the Soviets.

Koesj posted:Any more than Ikara, Malafon, or ASROC? I don't know anything about ASW missiles except that the fuckers alway sank my subs in Harpoon. There's the main flying body, the payload suspended underneath that, and then two launch boosters strapped to the outside. The whole thing looks like an afterthought. And it's likely been out of production since 1993 or so.

Syncopated posted:How does counter-battery fire work when you don't have radar to home in on? You have your own radar, and it tracks the shells and does math. Or if you're still doing it ghetto style, you have observers spotting horizon flashes and counting the seconds until they hear noise like it's a thunderstorm.

MrYenko posted:As expensive as it was, I really feel like cancelling Crusader was kind of a dumb move. No, Crusader was specialized to deliver high volumes of dumb shells, like the Swedish Bandkanon or that two-barrelled Russian nightmare. It just doesn't compete with smart shells. The bigger loss was the armored resupply vehicle that went with it.
