I now want tanks to be called nothing else but "Big Armoured Bang Bang Boxes" Also, does anyone else get the impression that Khan knew that all of his ideas weren't going to work but was just bored, so he kept pitching the most bonkers shit just to amuse himself?

A project aimed at building a full-sized working replica of the Fiat 2000 has been created as of March 2017. The project was started by volunteers, aiming to raise the necessary funds with crowdfunding. From June 2017 to October 2018 the committee worked on remaking a complete set of blueprints, after which the construction of the replica started on 15 November 2018. The project was declared complete and was painted and running on its own power as of April 2020.

The fun thing about WWII tanks, especially the ones that aren't known, is that this was the time when the fan hit the s*it and everyone was staring at the wall to see what stuck. Big hulking behemoths that juggernaut-ed their way through everything and anything (except bridges,) little zoomers that could scout and mow down the less protected infantry and then get out of town, all arounders that had some boom; could take a hit; and worked well in numbers. Like today we have a preconception of what a tank is and what it isn't, generally. That's because of WWII's testing grounds for so many weird and wacky things. WWI was like conception, birth, and adolescence of tanks all wrapped into one. Big vehicle, much gun. And then other ideas came to be like, "Maybe your standard infantry shouldn't be able to shoot and kill the crew inside with a lucky ricochet shot." and armor was added. Big main guns became a bit of a standard. And that's the general state of tanks going into WWII, transitioning from, "MACHINE GUNS EVERYWHERE!!!" to, "I has a big boom stick and you've got a purty mouf." The amphibious half-track, to me, sounds less like an actual specific vehicle design and more of whoever trying to patent the concept of it with those specific features. Like mentally working it out, technically that kind of system would work to a degree. So if some expert engineer picked up on the idea an brought it to fruition, I have a feeling whoever filed the plans will come swooping in claiming that was their idea.

@bwhog Ай бұрын

Tank destroyer... For all intents and purposes, this is what we would now call a "mobile gun platform." That is, a cannon with an engine and wheels below it. You don't get a traversing turret (maybe 15 degrees either side), but you get a large, powerful shell. These played an important role in WWII and that famous scene with Audy Murphy firing a machine gun atop a burning unit... was in fact on a tank destroyer, not a normal tank. If you think the amphibious half-track is nutty, remember that for the Normandy invasion, they floated SHERMAN TANKS and gave them a propeller sufficient, along with the track movement, to drive them ashore. How did they do this? By mounting rubber skirts around the top of the tank. All they had to do was displace enough water to offset the weight of the vehicle and BAM! Floating tank! Of course this didn't stop some of them from going straight to the bottom of the channel along with some of their crews when either seals failed, supports gave way, or the water simply started washing over the top of the skirts, but a sufficient number did make it ashore to have an impact on the fighting at the beach head.

@jackgraves5121 Ай бұрын

Irc the lst pilots, fearful of enemy shore fire unloaded them too far offshore into the sea proper. The Brits warned them to get into more shallow waters closer to the beach first, which is why the Brits didn't lose as many coming to shore. Both the US glider pilots and lst (landing ship tank) operators have been criticized for losing their nerve and unloading men to their almost certain death. Deserved criticism?

@Bob-yl9rz Ай бұрын

Six DD tanks sank with only six crew members lost. Those that were lost were launched too far out to sea and were probably swamped by the rough sea state during the D-Day invasion. The British even warned the Americans that they needed to get close to shore.

I did happen to be in Belgrade to see TIP-A while on a business trip but funny part is nobody told me the Fortress was a military museum also. I was just exploring the Fortress and then saw a German 500kg bomb. I thought "hmm that's interesting" and kept walking. Then I saw some cannons, a boat and so on it just got better and better. Finally I came to the part and I immediately turned into a 6 year old boy lost in the Zoo. "Italian L3! Wait, is that a FT-1? OH MY IT'S A STUG AND A PANZER 4, ERIKAAAAAAAAAAAA". I'm not from a nation that's in the area of WW2 so this was the first time I've seen any of them in real life and by far one of the most exiting moments I've ever had.

As a side project, Simon, why don't you create an amateur-talent Talent Show, in which, including yourself, you have a panel of 4 judges, who judge each contestant's performance? Also, when nervous singers audition, you could interrupt their performance attempt, while telling them that they have a lousy backing track. A standard, white V-neck t-shirt would also be a good look for you, while judging. In time, the name 'simon' would become synonymous with 'smug talent judge'.
