Because i'm bit lazy.

[Imperializt Russia]

Oho.

Germany already has more Leopard 2s than can be shaken wooden items at and was designed the fight the Russians anyway.
The hell do they think they need a new tank for against the exact same thing their thousands of existing tanks were literally built to fight?

Has the MIC finally reached Ee-rupe?

[Gallia-]

"tanku"

[Imperializt Russia]

That was actually a typo.

dont lie we know you meant it o:

[San-Silvacian]

quick little summary of the Sieuxerrian tank post 1950s.

bottom is a wip ofc

[New Visegrad]

Pics or it didn't happen
Paramour APC Improvement Candidate 1 is finally almost coloured. I've also adjusted the suspension height and redesigned the Autonomous Intercept System mount since the original WIP.

is finish
Enters service mid-4407 with service name Paramour-4, replacing the Paramour-3.

The German government knows the value of keeping European tank production going to ensure those skills are not lost for when they are needed.

The "Leopard 3" will likely be nothing more then a series of trials prototypes going through several versions, spanning a decade. Mostly to keep the Germans and French (Remember they merged!) up to date with tanks.

I'd like to say I use the Merkava 4 but it's too heavy for our transport planes and it only comes in tan. Dang it Israel, you have to be a desert.

So instead I use K2 because it's faster and more nimble and comes in forest camo for a forested island nation. Yush.

Worst choice.

I'm quite sure your nation is capable of painting the Merkava 4 in any pain scheme it desires.

Also I'd like to know more about how Israel is a desert.

Trying to figure out an ERA concept to degrade Long rod penetrators..Based on stuff that i read.



hmm maybe i just re-inventing kontakt-5 But anyway..

So the main defeat mechanism for the ERA is by inducing yaw and force its failure by the moving plates, reducing penetration power and hopefully, break down the penetrator.

The "active layer" consist of two moving plates, the thinner one which will move forward and thicker rear plate which move backward. The difference in thickness is well, mainly for saving weight :3 or i think so. However they will move in their optimum velocity to disrupt the incoming long rod or jets.

The void inside the ERA cassette is mainly for disrupting shaped charge jet, and basically give room of movement to the plates so they could "catch" The penetrator and induce more failure to it.

Anyway i don't really know how to calculate required explosives.. Which is important to determine how fast the plate will move.

Oh anyway just like Kontakt-5.. "spent" ERA will not be destroyed.. but instead can still provide protection. The explosion is directed at forward direction of the ERA. Thus why i have that "Blast plate" which will blow open and "Blast nozzle" Which direct the explosive.


Would love to hear suggestions.. or perhaps spreadsheets :3

Fairly average 21st-century SPG incoming.



Weight: 42 tonnes
Length: 7.77 meters hull only, 9.78 meters overall
Width: 3.2 meters
Height: 3.09 meters to top of cupola
Crew: 5 (driver, commander, gunner, and two loaders)
Armor: protected against 15mm fire and 152mm shell fragments
Top speed: 60 km/h (road)

Main armament: 152mm, 48-caliber gun-howitzer
Rate of fire: 2 rounds per minute (sustained bombardment), 6 rounds per minute (brief bombardment), 3 rounds in 12 seconds (rapid bombardment)
Maximum range: 28 km (standard HE), 39 km (base-bleed shells), 54 km (rocket-assisted projectiles)
Secondary armament: 7.62mm GPMG (cupola-mounted)

The "93-Gen" is a self-propelled 152mm gun-howitzer, intended as a successor to the earlier SBP-152 66-Gen. Like its predecessor, the 93-Gen is based on the Shagtong-Hu universal heavy chassis, though in this case it is the ShTH-B variant with an improved 700-kilowatt engine. The design process began in 1993 with a State requirement for a vehicle offering a longer-ranged and more accurate main armament, as well as better protection against counter-battery fire. The vehicle entered service in 2001, and has replaced the 66-Gen in most but not all units.

The main armament consists of a 48-caliber gun, capable of firing existing 152mm ammunition or specialized base-bleed and rocket-assisted projectiles. The longer gun, paired with a more advanced fire-control system, allow considerably greater accuracy than the preceding 66-Gen. This is supplemented by compatibility with 152mm laser-guided munitions, which can be used to minimize collateral damage in urban bombardment or engage enemy armor. In order to improve effectiveness in counter-battery bombardments, the 93-Gen is able to fire a burst of three rounds in 12 seconds. By adjusting the charge size and trajectory between shots, it can also ensure that all three shots land on target at approximately the same time. This also allows the 93-Gen to complete its firing missions more quickly, then relocate to a new position before the enemy can deliver counter-battery fire of their own.

The only really dumb Arma 3 vehicle is the stealth A-10.

Canada still uses stockpiles of these rounds for training/combat. They're still pulling out rounds with UK production dates of the early 1960s.
Remember, these rounds were made in the UK, stored poorly in Germany, shipped to Canada, and stored poorly again, over the course of 50+ years. And HESH was still working in A'Stan just fine.

can't find it, but a dtic article on ammunition poorly stored in Germany and using the the Gulf revealed that propellant pressures were low, and thus the ammunition would undershoot the target. Significant at long ranges.

Might depend on manufacture. Were these US made rounds? Or UK made ones?
The only vintage munitions for 105mm guns I have seen have been UK made rounds.

Not sure if that proves anything.

Re: the second link, I swear that's not news. Though if it's news you're looking for, there's a Vietnamese outlet I was browsing the other day that mentioned the Russians were trying to prepare a pre-production Armata for display during the Victory Day parade this year.

[The Kievan People]

That's legit Anemos. Armata is supposed to appear on Red Square in 2015.

Looks heavy-ish.

Is there an autoloading open-mount option I can just throw onto modified utility-cariers?

[Radicchio]

Is anyone familiar with the south African anti-tank missiles?

I came across a g, e & t storefront selling them and was wondering how well they work against modern armor.

EDIT
Top of page porn.

One of the missiles in question, th "Ingwe" according to wikipedia.

The Ingwe is a fine missile.

The warhead is rather small though.

What would be a comparable missile?

[Lamoni]

TOW, maybe.

[Radicchio]

TOW, maybe.

Seems to have a larger warhead than the TOW.

Kinda hard to find anything western or russian of a direct comparison. Pretty neat missile.

[Triplebaconation]

The obvious direct comparison would be MAPATS.

[Anemos Major]

That's legit Anemos. Armata is supposed to appear on Red Square in 2015.

mfw it turns out to be a T-90 with a new armour configuration and Shoygu get's all pissy and tells Uralvangonzavod that Russia won't buy it

Or catches fire after the parade. I'll giggle if that happens again.

[San-Silvacian]

TOW, maybe.

Seems to have a larger warhead than the TOW.

Kinda hard to find anything western or russian of a direct comparison. Pretty neat missile.

Its pretty much like TOW.

Its only longer because its most likely with the entire prop measured as well.

1,000+mm of penetration isn't really a better than the top-down attack of TOW 2B.

[Triplebaconation]

Ingwe is TOW's illegitimate racist great-grandson by way of MAPATS which begat ZT-3.
