My heart really belongs to the cast hull M4A1(76). Art deco-ish streamlining makes it look fast sitting still, oversized boom stick. Yeah they're tall, but fuck it.

Want to have fun sometime? Go to any Army post, they always have Soviet crap set up as displays at the museum and such. Tanks, artillery, trucks, really any example will do.
Inspect the various welds and straight edges with a ruler.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tuco at gunboards was arranging a "group buy" on some t34/85's out of the Cheq Republic many years ago. Wonder if Tenn Guns was his connection? Not sure. I know the Russians offered a T34/85 to the guy that bought the /55. Offer was €80,000. He was dead set on the /55. Same guy has an 88mm Flak gun on the carriage. It came from Ukraine. Forget what the cost of it was. |

M51 Sherman best Sherman. That would have given the M-4 equal firepower to the Tiger/Panther.
BTW, the Wehrmacht saying, "When a T-34 meets a Tiger, the T-34 tips its hat" meant that the turret pops off. |

The M1A1 is a beautiful girl in any way you look at her.
The driver’s hole is roomy, comfortable, and the most stable place on the tank. Lots of storage room and the heater will roast your left shoulder until it stops working, about 5 minutes max… The turret is a complete basket, almost free of danger. You could have a party in the loader’s station, though the gunner’s station is a bit cramped when you are 6’2”. And your upstairs neighbor likes to dance and kicks you in the back and the back of the head from time. Full beauty at its finest. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone remember the Pontiac Fiero? I never owned one, never drove one, never rode in one, but I remember friends having them back in the day. They looked all sporty, a little like the Ferrari of the day. So, people would call them a sports car... and they might have been a good sports care if your sport was bird watching, or maybe orienteering. Goes so slow you can get a good look at the wildlife and you had better be prepared for a hike when the thing broke down. But, it did have the right look, sort of. Problem is, when you learned about the Fiero that look got associated with crap and it never looked good to you again. Russian tanks are sort of like that. Yea, they look really awesome when you don't know anything about tanks, when you do that whole shape just spells "shit tank." Fieros were also famous for going up in flames when being driven down the highway. I personally watched three of them burn back in the day. So yeah, just like Russian tanks
