Coolest/Ugliest Weapons V5 - Bullpup AKs are the best - General

It's actually a photo of a column of T-28s that's just been edited to look like one continuous tank. I find it funny how they use that as the 'proof' when it looks absolutely nothing like all the drawings of it.

It was awful.

Or this British beast. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/IWM-KID-109-Vickers-Independent.jpg[/IMG] Looks like a Darlek sponsored by Vickers Machine Guns. Which isn't too far off. It's made by Vickers, after all. Saying Vickers this much made me realize how someone needs to make a Snickers parody with the Vickers.

TV-8 [IMG]http://www.twilighthistories.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/strange-tank-TV-8-1955.jpg[/IMG] I love the looks of the turret on this thing.

Hnng, I like me some tank destroyers. I don't know why, I guess it's just the idea of tanks being all sneaky and lying in ambush. Two of the rarer ones from WWII: Jagdpanzer IV: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bimmC0B.jpg[/IMG] Jagdtiger: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Tt6s69a.jpg[/IMG] The late war german tank destroyers were quite decent designs, and could outgun the biggest of the allied tanks. They just suffered a lot in combat because of lack of fuel and sub standard production materials, due to Germany's industry being pushed to its limits. This lead to a lot of extremely rare late war TD's being abandoned because the crews coulden't go anywhere or even turn vehicles that big without fuel. They also coulden't deal with the massive allied air superiority, so they had to hide at all times during daylight to avoid being bombed.

They had all the Tiger Ausf E's and the best German tanks and all that stuff. Then they ran out of fuel, only a few kilometres from their objective. They walked all the fucking way back. That must suck so fucking hard.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;43515732] the swedes do have the StrV-103B though, combining it with german Leo 2s and some danish m113s with 25mm autocannons is brutal as FUCK against everything else[/QUOTE] When it comes to armor, nothing beats a combo of T80 variants and BMP3s. Hell, just a bunch of BMP3's will get you a long-ass way. I'd put a rant about how BMP-3's are absurdly awesome here, but that'd be the fourth of the kind I've done, so you know the drill.

Jagdtiger: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Tt6s69a.jpg[/IMG] Stuff.[/QUOTE] I once read something about a Jagdtiger in a book (can't remember which one.) An M4 was hiding behind a house, but where spotted by a crew in one of these fuck-your-armor-lol Tank Destroyers. All it took was one grenade from the 128mm that were shot into the house, went through 4 or 5 different walls, and then continued out on the other side and tore the poor M4 a new asshole. Can't remember if the shell continued through the M4 or what else happened. But the fact that the shell went through an entire [B]house[/B] and destroyed a tank behind it is impressive.

On the topic of the German giant tanks, the only way I could see them being useful is as a mobile(ish) ship hunter. Just set them up on shore and let them go, a rail system between bunkers would be cheaper and more practical but I imagine the tanks would provide less of a target for return fire.

The unit roster for the Swedes in AirLand Battle is hilariously flawed on it's own, so when someone plays a deck with the Swedish national perk, they are super-easy to steamroll. Anyway, the Denmark-Sweden thing is because of our proud history of getting into wars with Sweden over the tiniest things, at times literally no other reason than either country getting a new king who needed to prove himself a good leader, so hey, declare a war.

Behold, the best tank of Post WW2. The Centurion tank! Seen combat in Israel and many places. And it was used here until they phased it out [img_thumb]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a1/Centurion_cfb_borden_1.JPG[/img_thumb]
