No don't do that, if the thread is started with a shitpost, it will be a shit thread.

Go look at the thread with the M1 BEST TANK shitposts and redtexters.

>>324357

There is no happy medium with people, its either the best tank or the worst tank. The best tank is only as good as its crew and supporting elements.

>>324369

True. Also all tanks are designed to work well within their armed forces doctrine.

T-72s work great with BMPs, MTLBs, BTRs and Soviet style of fighting.

M1A2s work great with Bradleys, M113s, Strykers and American style of fighting.

Switch their places… and they would both suck.

Iran has been actually able to use a mixture of both Soviet and American armor successfully, its far more due to logistics and planning than the influence of combat doctrine on tank design, in Desert storm which was the only major use of M1s you could have replaced US M1s with domestic Russian T-72s and Iraqi tanks with M48s/M60s and export M1s had the same outcome. A lot of the problem with US tanks outside of US service is that M1s tend to be maintenance whores and the US rarely builds adequate maintenance facilities with competent supply chains in countries it occupies for some reason whereas the Soviets usually did and the fact that Soviet tanks can withstand more abuse helps, although the M47/M48 and M60 Pattons were pretty durable and able to operate for years in shitholes.

regarding the performance to T-72s and M1s

On the topic of tanks, Does /k/ play armored warfare at all?

>>324440

Used to but that recent patch fucked the game up big time for me, nevermind the retarded decisions of the devs.

I have no idea how the fuck I go from being one of the first in every game to load in pre 0.13 to being lucky if I load in at all post 0.13. Also those logistic costs are fucking bullshit for PvE and the maps are hilariously cramped for 15vs15 PvP, in boring game modes that we've all no doubt played a billion times before in World of SlavTanks.

>>324435

Yes the style of fighting is the main component. I omitted the air force, artillery and so on obviously.

>>328419

Fuck!

Is that a T-34?

Just looked at my post and thought T-34.

I cant tell worth shit though

>>328419

some t34 model.

Is that some mexican carter?

>>328422

I tried to just upload the actual file but i get some kikery about server taking to long

>>328423

Yes, it is a T-34.

>Anti-government protesters start up a T-34 tank that was part of an exhibition commemorating the 1956 uprising.

Oh the irony.

>>328428

as long as kebab doesn't hire a white haired katana wielding weeaboo cyborg faggot then it should be good

>>324440

Sure do, it's a fun game if you like armored vehicles.

>>328428

>removing kebab

I dont think that using tonk invisible to radars would be usefull when fighting someone that doesnt have them.

Its absurd concept build from shit that shouldnt work but we need it to advance technologically.

Real thing thats worthy of attention (not counting really good arty and engimeering vehicles) is project Anders, modular apc/tonk. As a light tank it still can hold 4 people (not counting crew).

We are planning on changing our light tanks (which are t-72. This tells you how fucked our categorysing is.) in a close future.

>>328427

The icing on the cake is the driver was a veteran from the '56 uprising.

>>328438

So I take it has weaponized memes jack :^)

>>328479

Using drone tankettes with AP weapons would be more effective, units would be dirt cheap, easy to maneuver in urban zones and you can keep sending new ones when they get knocked out, then repair the broken units which unlike non-drone tonks are useless to the kebab

>>328555

Those trips can't lie.

>>329132

well the tank looks like a metal gear meme in my opinion thats why i went with it

>>329091

Wouldn't the long 130mm anti aircraft gun have much higher pressures and be capable of more APFSDSing?

Found the Wargame: Red Dragon player.
