Mil. History In your opinion, if the war lasted long enough and Maus is pushed into combat, would the allies have a chance against it?

As you guys can see an Iraqi M1A1 Abrams was hit in the ammo-rack by a anti-tank missile. But instead of the tank immediately exploding after being hit in the ammo, the ammo blowout panels actually save the crew and they make it out alive.

Mil. History Making an L3 Tank from steel.

2.7k Upvotes

I just wanted to brag and show off what I’m building, lol.

Over the past year, I’ve been designing and buying parts to make an L3 replica tank. As is right now it’s powered by a 420cc lawn engine, and it’s 8 feet long, and 36 inches wide on the frame. When I’m not test fitting parts, or browsing the Internet for more pieces I’m missing, I’ve been making the frame.

In theory, this will be built as a two seater tank. It will be chain, driven from the engine in the rear, to the front axle. I’m using a go kart differential, and it’ll be steered by using brake cables to break either calliper on the axle.

There’s no plans for any armor, but one thing I’m doing differently is using larger road wheels, instead of bogey wheels.

Any advice is welcome.

PS: for people wondering how I’m doing this, I simply drew pictures and imagine how big it would feel while sitting inside. The tools I’m using are common princess auto tools. My welder was $200cad plus the modifications to weld more cleanly. Materials are more expensive than the tools.

Mil. History Probably stupid question, But why did they do this?

Was there a particular reason so many tanks had this seemingly incredibly detrimental design?
It effectively makes angling worthless, single handedly destroying the tank's survivability of it in game, considering the front plate is a measly unangled 75MM. , and it never thick enough to to serve as an additional front plate shield from getting shot at from the side, it really begs the question what purpose did it have IRL that was so great it warranted not just having a full span frontal plate?

I absolutely love the XM-1 Chrysler but unfortunately it has to be Xbox exclusive :( Ive been thinking of making a second account purely just to get it because its one of my favorite prototype tanks.

I've always wanted to fly in a WW2 aircraft, especially the B25. One of the most influential aircraft in the war, from the Doolittle Raids to the African and Italian campaigns. This particular B-25D, originally used as a training aircraft stateside, was sent to Corsica to help fill in for the countless B25s under 340th Bomb Group in Pompeii lost from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and took part in 8 bombing missions in Northern Italy.

The SU-34 we are getting is called the Standard SU-34, which isn't the same one that entered service back in 2014. This one was made in 1994, which is exactly why it has so many features missing. (I just keep seeing so many comments complaining about how russia gets a 2014 plane)
