i find it entirely coincidental that a german military vehicle and the late outspoken holocaust surviver elie wiesel share the same name.

Those were fun to drive in the BF2 Operation Peacekeeper mod: "Operation Peacekeeper is a modern warfare modification for the popular game Battlefield 2, based on a fictional development of the actual Kosovo conflict. The mod features three different sides - the German Bundeswehr, the British Royal Army and the Serbian VSCG - engaging in the rough and mountainous terrain of kosovo. All three use state of the art military weapon systems, like the German Leopard 2A6 MBT, as well as older, but yet still effective equipment, like the russian build Mi24V Hind E used by the Serbian forces."

'Fahrschul' means 'Driving School'. Here's a Challenger 2 modified for the same purpose: [t]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7u9RCi0ukio/USFQFM7fNfI/AAAAAAAAA94/2LmNJS0jCeI/s1600/8432.jpg[/t] And here's a Leopard: [t]https://deanoworldtravels.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/leopard-trainer.jpg?w=545&h=363[/t] Goofy as fuck but i guess they work.

Why though? US Army and Marines train all their tankers in standard vehicles.

[QUOTE=MAC21500;44341600]Why though? US Army and Marines train all their tankers in standard vehicles.[/QUOTE] Guess to give a better feel of how a vehicle that size handles before you go into a tiny pit with no view out. Or maybe the driver sits the same and the windowed box is for instructors?

[QUOTE=Riller;44341742]Guess to give a better feel of how a vehicle that size handles before you go into a tiny pit with no view out.

[QUOTE=seba079;44346031]Officially the coolest land vehicle (ever?)[/QUOTE] I'm sure there's baffles or stuff in place to prevent this. But what happens if a shell suffers cookoff and discharges in the loading position. Otherwise most impressive - muchos de hi tek - but then, it is German. *licks their German militaria collection*

We share a fetish Meister.

Can't tell if Russia is serious [quote]03.23.2014...The Russian war industry had recently demonstrated its most recent individual combat exposure suit and digitized combat system. The new equipment will make the Russian soldiers get rid of the old style bulletproof vest and leg protection. Soldiers who the new-style combat system, will have 100% better armor protection.

I think they look pretty awesome.

That digital camo with yellow in it looks sexy as fuck.

I wonder how bullet resistant the shoulder pads are [editline]26th March 2014[/editline] I'm also surprised by the lack of neck armour with the western military

[QUOTE=joost1120;44349387]I think they look pretty awesome.[/QUOTE] Even more so with 30+ year old '74 mags strapped to their chests <3 In that last pic, are the leatherbelts testing that helmets ballistics by tapping out cigarettes on it? o-o [QUOTE=download;44349571]I wonder how bullet resistant the shoulder pads are [editline]26th March 2014[/editline] I'm also surprised by the lack of neck armour with the western military[/QUOTE] Probably don't want to [I]get hot under their collars.[/I] Seriously though, protection like that can be pretty restrictive to your vision.

[QUOTE=download;44349571]I wonder how bullet resistant the shoulder pads are [editline]26th March 2014[/editline] I'm also surprised by the lack of neck armour with the western military[/QUOTE] Ohhh we have it... it sucks. Basically velcros on around your neck. That padding is only good against shrapnel and pistol calibers; the militaries of the world realized that shrapnel is the #1 battlefield killer.

LAV III... made in a factory 1 hour away from my house. [img]http://comexhobby.com/mainsite/wordpress-content/uploads/2011/08/lav3_p_1.jpg[/img]

I just found out Stryker vehicles are made literally 5 minutes from my house

[QUOTE=Riller;44351725]M113 GAVIN FOR MBT!!![/QUOTE] Aparrently Mike Sparks has some influence in the Australian army. [t]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Puckapunyal-M113-MRV-1-1.jpg[/t] I know it's not an MBT, but it's still cute. I think someone said that guy would pop up on /k/ from time to time when there was an APC discussion and start screaming about how great the M113 was and how it should be the next space shuttle or whatever the fuck point he was trying to make. I wish i could've seen that.
