I thought the SU-100 was a Hetzer for a moment and got kinda wet
The world seriously needs more tracked and wheeled tank destroyers.

By the way, whatever happened to the US Army's plan to make a new light tank?
That was the M8.

BAE showed off an modernized and upgraded version at a show last year and were apparently trying to tempt the US Army with it again, but that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.

[t]http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/50/1418417603-teledyne-continental-motors-ags.png[/t] I don't know if it was submitted for the AGS competition, but there's also a couple of AAI light tank designs that were proposed at some point. I think they were kind of cool.

The M8 (Thunderbolt?) and that second last tank are both in the game Act of Aggression, the latter has a railgun cannon tho.

tank sport is best sport, fuck the Olympics everyone should be watching the Tank Biathlon
I wish that one day more countries will be invited, that would be a HUGE dick-measuring contest.

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYVRL5Tp5Tk[/media] It fucking weighs less then the M82 Lighty.
That thing is fucking sexy

[QUOTE=DaBeaver;50885692]I wish that one day more countries will be invited, that would be a HUGE dick-measuring contest.[/QUOTE] The US and various NATO countries were initially invited to the 1st Tank Biathlon World Championship in 2014.

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;50887532]I want to see how well the Abrams would do against the T90 series.[/QUOTE] Exactly. I'm tired of chairborne experts screaming "T-90 IS BETTER THAN ABRAMS!" "NO, ABRAMS IS BETTER!" Get 'em in the field and let them compete.
how much does a tank wheel like that weigh? i was thinking about the part where they have to go recover it and they don't seem like the sort of things that a regular dude could just pick up and carry

[QUOTE=DaBeaver;50885692]I wish that one day more countries will be invited, that would be a HUGE dick-measuring contest.[/QUOTE] Just FYI there's a similar military contest called the Nordic Tank Challenge which has been hosted in Denmark since 2014 where the best crews from each attending country complete a variety of tasks and maneuvers.
