You should be how I utterly destroyed GV SF sniper range claim.

Everyone destroyed GV's sniper claim, I think Sat and Kat joined in, as well as a few draftroom vets. For once all of the realism douches in these threads united for one purpose, to tear GV a new one for his uberwank snipers.

in retrospect, using my irc handle in my new puppet's account might have been a bad idea since i now feel very awkward when someone says "Kat" on the forums and i don't know them at all

It is actually a T-24 turret dumped on a T-20 chassis and a bit of modification.

If you'd rather be in a T-72 should I just suggest you buy a length of rope from the hardware store instead?

Having earlier listed Lancashire's tanks in its 1920s manifestation, in 2010 the Workers' Republic of Soviet Lancashire National Guard Ground Forces Branch relies upon the Centurion Mk 13, and increasingly upon the Chieftain Mk 13 which has long since replaced it in production at the nationalised Leyland plant on Centurion Way.

I actually just finally worked out Viet Mai's standing and such so if I said anything later than this following entry, consider this entry to be 'canon' and the rest to be for shitty pipe dreams.

The Main Battle Tank of the Socialist Republic of Viet Mai is the Soviet made T-54/55

In the "Real World" Viet Mai comprises Dai Nam, which is Vietnam and Cambodia.

Did you change the scale, I thought the T-44 turret was bigger than that. I cant remember, I lost my Russian Tank Encyclopedia for Russian WWII tanks, is the T-44 the T-34 prototype, or is it the screwball advanced version of the T-34/85 with more armor and a larger turret?

probably rescaled to fit the body, or got a smaller T-44 pic than than the body. The T-44 was a tank in its own right. I don't recall much, but the T-44 was the basis for the T-54/55 and had its own T-44-85 thing going on.

edit: pic scewed

Clearly the best:

The T-44 was a successor to the T-34, and to my knowledge it doesn't have any parts commonality with the T-34.

Smaller numbers of its predecessor the Type 90 Main Battle Tank remain in service, primarily in reserve units though they are slowly being phased out.

No the type 10 is more advanced than the type 90.
