Short version is Saph.
Saphi sounds like a girl's name.

I can't be the only person on here who assumed you were female.

Hehe, Indeos knows.

WTF, mates?
That's wrong on so many levels.

I disagree.
Whatever gaps there might be in your knowledge don't usually come up in this thread.
And you're a lot more personable than Sumer.
(Sorry, Sumer, but it's true. )

She beets me to 90% of responses here anyway, so I just have fun with the really bad stuff. I'm really a nice guy.

Senestrum wrote:Well yeah, but that applies to pretty much all tank stuff. Everything from crews (three or four strong, sweaty young men cooped up in a tiny vehicle with nothing to do? Mmm...), to the guns (just try and tell me Freud would not have had a field day with this), to the downright obsessive focus on penetration, to the battles they expect to fight (a massive soviet force ramming its way through the Fulda Gap against their will? Come on), the way the armor is distributed (the rear is the easiest part to penetrate? That can't be unintentional...), predominant ammo types (long, thick rods or hot jets of fluid? Please)...

Honestly, it's hard to think of a tank-related subject that doesn't have sexual overtones. I would love a serious freudian analysis of tank combat.

My girlfriend can't hold a straight face when talking tank. Seriously. She giggles uncontrolably at "long rod penetrator".

I couldn't explain it if I tried. You just come off as female.

Long Rod Penetrator just sounds wrong.
I dunno what the creators of that term were thinking, but OMGwut.

I think it's partly your name (Saphirasia = Sapphire = pretty girly things) and the fact that your flag has a little anime girl on it. Everyone knows the only people who like little anime girls are, well, girls! :blush:

Glad someone deduced the origin of the name.
As for the flag, it's a humanized version of

What can I say, I got bored.

Because there totally aren't millions of 40 year old lolicon males in Japan.

MLP isn't exactly manly. That's not what made me think you were female, though. It was always mannerisms, not the flag or the name.

Typo. Don't make me find a way to get you back.

Also, never took for you a MLP girl RRoan.

Ha. No one has ever confused my gender since I am the most masculine person on NS since Nick left, and physically speaking I would probably be considered way more manly than nick despite my inability to grow a beard and looking 4 years younger than I really am.

My tank can have the gun become automated, the commander just designates a target, states which ammo to use and moves on, the turret and gun move to properly aim at the target, track it, and when a shot is as likely as it will ever be under those situations it fires. Of course we still use a three man crew, although the 'N' variant of my medium tank may very well be a two man tank with even more armour.

While you COULD do this, WHY would you do it? Humans are still better than current gen electronics. Also, you NEVER want to go with a two-man crew. Too many responsibilities, not enough people to complete them. Three is a stretch, but can be done.

Wait, you're a man? Apparently my spot-on gaydar screws with my gender sensor.

Welp, now that we've gotten that out of the way, back to topic.
Tanks.
Artillery.
Whatever else that my mind can't work well enough to come up with right now.
