• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I was thinking more about BMPs cecause of the tracks, but then again, I have never asked its creators or crew.

I like those Leo ARV's in shot 5

Me too. They made working on detached tracks easier since they helped turning them around. :d

Also, I heard a story of one of them getting caught in a radar control of our MPs with 110kph (slightly downhill). :icon_lol:
Their drivers are crazy so or so. Leo 2 in tow, but still doing 60kph - on a public road. :isadizzy:
 
I first thought BMP, then figured they might be .JPG's or TIF's. Ha Ha just kiddin'. But I did think of BMP's and then thought they looked kinda lame for simultaing a BMP, so I figured BTR/BDRM.

Well, the only BMP avaiable was a rusted derelict from the east german army. We also had a rusty T-72 parked in your T-Bereich (technical area; tank parking lot). (No pics; sorry)

Amazing how small those things are. That T-72 and BMP must've been darn uncomfortable inside. I kind of prefer a more massive, but comfortable tank (you can easily sleep in a Leopard's driver's seat). Finding safe hulls-down positions in northern Germany is easy enough.
 
Soviet tankers had to be, like 5' 8" or shorter, if I heard that right.
Small vehicles packed with fuel(some of it on the OUTSIDE) and ammo. When hit, it looks just like a movie effect.

That's 1.7m, right?

We can confortably fit 2m guys into our Leopards. Must feel like as much as a palace to a russian tanker as the PzH2000 was a palace to me.
Honestly, you can throw an entire party back in there!



:d

Yeah, heard of russian tanks developing the nasty "flying turret" syndrome when hit.

Their autoloader is a cool element too, but I preferred its human counterpart altogether since an autoloader can't lend a hand with repairs. :d
