Why does a tanks gun or an artillery piece need a muzzle brake at the end? How does it work? Always wondered. I suspect it has something to do...
This thread has become inane and pointless. End it now. :kill:
Liang. That is not a Hummel you are sitting on it is a Hornisse. The Hummel was a 155mm gun on the same carriage. The Hornisse like the one in the...
Roel. I have followed this closely from day one. I have been in close contact with several friends in Russia (Belgorod and Moscow) and the news is...
Here is a timeline. Timeline: Beslan school seizure 04/09/2004 07:55 - (SA) Timeline of Russian school seizure in southern Russia....
Roel. I think your off base on that one, they were not ordered to storm the building. A bomb went off inside and the kids started to bail. The...
Maybe not. I know the Maultier was a real big vehicle but not bigger than a Chaffee. The proportions are just too far off. Maybe its a fluke of...
I really don't know where this will go. I have been following the Beslan situation very closely and reading about the conflict in general. It's...

Lyndon. You can sit on that hill in a Tiger all day, all night and tomorrow. Be my guest. I am going to beat you because while you are dominating...
A war between China and America would be mainly naval and air warfare. I doubt land assets would ever get into it. I sincerely doubt that even the...
The T-34. It was the best tank of the war overall. When they got into a pack you could not stop them. Its best quality was its mobility under...
I think that I was mistaken about my story. It was not a Brummbar that tore up the square, it was a Sturmtiger.
The Panthers had so many teething troubles it was ridiculous. Engines, you name it including gunnery optics that allowed moisture into the gunners...
I read once a while back about an action in Aachen against the Americans. I really took the Americans by surprise, they were in a building...
I would pick either an SU-100 or the Mk IV Stug The gun of the SU was a killer and it was reasonably well armoured and manueverable. It also...
Russian losses were heavy in all respects for the simple fact that they were dug in like Alabama ticks and had no intention of leaving the area....
