Ah yes, the New Zealand Ned Kelly of tanks.
And then the Aussies thought "Oh the kiwis are giving the whole 'homemade tank' thing a go, we'll give it a crack" and managed to produce literally the only thing Australia has made thats better than New Zealand

The reason it was so much more successful than the Bob Semple tank, is that it was actually a tank.

The first three names literary translates to "Storm Artillery Wagon m/43", "Tank 103" and finally "Combat Vehicle 90" We're apparently not very good with creative names.
Our new Aircraft Carrier is pretty sweet. It looks the same as others but all the weapons and shit are like lego. They can be removed and replaced with different weapons easily
But my favorite:

I really miss it. Does anything look more badass than the F-117?

These two photos show how all the photos of the F-117 are intentionally a bit different so that its exact shape can't be discerned

[quote]The NI Tankm also called the Odessa tank or Terror Tank, was an improvised Soviet armoured fighting vehicle, based on an STZ-5 agricultural tractor[/quote]
[quote]Even though the tanks' speed was a very slow 7 km/h (4.3 mph), their armour was able to withstand small arms fire. In the second half of September, a battalion was formed equipped with NI tanks. In one memorable episode, the tanks entered a village occupied by German troops and while under fire were able to tow away 24 German guns.[/quote]

They made these with limited supercomputer tech, they aren't actually all that good compared to our newer stealth fighters, but they look really fucking cool.

I just love how some people make it seem like those things are invincible (not talking about you in particular) but then that happened
Yeah we lost one, but the plane still accounted for 40% of the targets during the Gulf War. Not bad for a $50 million plane
The F-22 though, read some of the stories that are already coming out of it. During Red Flag they shot down several hundred enemy aircraft. Only a few of them at that. And they lost 2. One of which was because of a previously shot down enemy aircraft re-entered the fight without them realizing it. One pilot gave an interview and said it was frustrating as dicks flying against it because even though it was in front of him and he could see it, nothing he did would lock onto it
