Which is TBD on moddb. TBD means dead.

I'd also play any other non BC BF RTS in a heartbeat.

Found this.
Seems to be the business end of a German Leopard 1 tank.

Judging by insignia and uniforms, it's a Canadian C2.

Freaking internet point with crappy IE won't let me quote messages without writing the number by hand.

I don't know, maybe american audi's are crap. In europe they are built like tanks (like bmw,volvo and volkswagen cars...)

>>40640
up until recently I had a '86 VW, only problem ever was a dead battery.
my Grandparents' Audi runs almost like new - after 200,000 km.

maybe the poor reputation comes from people who don't know how to take care of their cars.

your friend is a scholar and a gentleman.

seriously, if you ever go to aberdeen, give them money.
they cant even afford to have someone clean the toilets in the ordnance museum.

>>40734
The Ordnance museum is in Virginia now, I think.

>>40671

It's a tank capable of carrying its own air support, a tank company, can survive atmospheric re-entry and it can fly. It's as American as you can get.

>>40673
Even comes with a cupholder! Not sure why a fully automated tank would need one, but I guess if the support infantry got thirsty...

>>40733

Actually, the cupholder would be for the human commander of the Bolo. Considering the immense firepower of a single tank is enough to lay waste to a continent, and that Bolos operate in "brigades," a human OPERATOR is deemed a necessary failsafe.

  I had shitloads of pics of WWI and pre-WWI warships on my old computer. Both allied, axis and non-participants.

HC-130J Combat King II First Flight
The US Air Force’s first HC-130J personnel recovery aircraft was flown for the first time on 29 July 2010 from the Lockheed Martin facility adjoining Dobbins ARB in Marietta, Georgia. Lockheed Martin is on contract to build twenty-one HC- and MC-130J aircraft to start replacing the Air Force’s aging special mission MC-130s and the fixed-wing rescue HC-130s that were both first flown in the 1960s. The Air Force requirement is for thirty-seven HC-130Js for Air Combat Command and thirty-seven MC-130Js for Special Operations Command. The HC-130J, which is likely to be given the nickname Combat King II, is scheduled to reach initial operational capability in 2012. http://codeonemagazine.dialogs.com/news_item.html?item_id=111

Bat, why are you so awesome?

Funnily enough, I live about ten miles north of where these are based at HIA, just a stone's throw upriver from Three Mile Island.

Yeesh! I knew she was old but what's Brazil got lined up to shoot for the Sao Paulo?

  :D

Lol! That was hilarious.

>Subaru would be OPERATOR approved

lol

subaroo is fine. no worries, mate.

>prefer to buy American but god dam do their cars suck

orly. which 4x4 american car sucks, exactly? just asking so i can avoid it in the future (not that american cars aren't made in some other country, or have all their parts made in china or whatever). f'in trade agreement corporatism bullshit

Buying a brand new vehicle is a waste of money. Buy a 2-5 year old pre-owned and get a much better value on a vehicle that is probably still under manufacturer warranty. Just keep up on the service schedule.

  >>40647
lol, reminded me of this Kain

Scramble!!!

>>40662
Doing his grandfather proud.

>>40476

becasue they knew the extra fuel tanks ar efor long marches and become liability in combat.

like the spare fuel drums strapped to the sides of russian tanks in WW2; they dumped those prior to entering battle when they could.

>>40479
2nd, but veteran is big word. My grandad fought in unit that had 400% casualty in length of ww2, he was a real veteran.
Back to height question, i remember reading what M113 and Stryker was engineered 2+m high because of the length M16 rifle. Sounds right?

>>40650

partially. the M113 was developed back when we still used the M14. which is LOOOOOONG.

with the stryker they just copied the internal dimensions of the previous vehicles and then added shit to the sides and top.

If you lived in TN I could probably fix it for you.

Actually, hitting a starter is a good way to limp it for a while. It frees the brushes.

>>40611
block is cracked, exhaust is falling off (not actually attached to the down pipe. My car sounds like a tractor), frame is rusted to shit, and the fucking gas cap cover thing won't fucking open without prying it with HE-MAN strength. I don't think its worth fixing even if I lived in TN.
Thankfully it only has to last me till I ship for boot.
