They are getting ready for 2018, because they not will need good players, but also tanks.
This footage was taken near the polish borderline? :D
They are germans, they did this just for the LoL on the vid. After passing the camera they stopped and put the stuff away. After WWII germans are not allowed to be proud of their country more than 36h.
“Orange trägt nur die müllabfuhr” :D – only the garbage collection is wearing orange! german football phrase :D
No L on the truck, so it’s probably not L93. :P
[intensity intensifies]
Anyone remember when horns were supposed to be introduced in WoT?
never
they were removed
I know that – I was just reminiscing – humour me I’m getting old lol
Why are they driving gun backwards?
There are two reasons:
1) weight distribution. Modern tanks tend to be nose-heavy when the gun is pointed forwards, so they reverse the turret the make it go smoother.
2) The lenght of the tank is significantly less when the long barrel is pointed backwards. It’s easier to manouvre in narrow places.
Tanks for the answer… still looks a bit silly :)
Hehe, best soccer-team in the world celebrated with the best tank of the world ;)
not sure about that my friend. I think M1A2 and Leclerc could be a bit better just because of their much lower height of tank (read lower silhouette), better armor (Leo 2 is almost paper tank), and better Power/weight proportions: 24hp/t for Leo 2 versus 27hp/t for Abrams and Leclerc.
Just imagine in-game that Leo 2 height is like Centurion Mk7/1 (3 meters) and Abrams/Leclerc like T-54 (~2.4-2.5 meters)..
The “best” tank of its time. But, what means best? Most versatile maybe, very accurate and devastating gun. Armor wasn’t no real issue back then. The guns with modern ammunition are so OP that even actual Tanks are not capable to “bounce”. The armor helps against splash, Small and Medium Arms like MGs and RPGs.
If you start to fire a Javalin, which hits from above the tank you have no chance. Even the A10 Warthog can bring a lot of trouble to a modern tank with its 30mm gun.
A strength of a Leopard is speed, coordination, camo, on tanks standards “fuel saving” engine and it’s gun. You shouldn’t forget, the development started 1970. This was over 40 years ago. With this on your mind, the Leopard 2 is still a respectable tank. The cannon was so good, that they changed the Abrahams M1A1 (1984) to the Leo gun.
The development goes on every day, if you look the IDF have a better fitting tank for their needs. Maybe overall worse than the Leopard 2, but they have special needs and build/modified their tanks exactly for it.
For a starter the Abrams is way too heavy.
And that about finishes it:D
Thing that gets me though, it’s roughly the same weight as the Challanger 2, yet the Challanger 2 hasn’t fallen through any bridges yet, that I know off.
Maybe just has smarter crews?
hmm Leo 2, Challenger 2 and Abrams are all almost the same by weight ~ 65 tons, so I dont understand what you meant by this.

Pfff is that all they could do? :P
Back when we still had Leopard tanks:

You should list this one too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2_Black_Panther
