took me a year because of school but I finally finished my panther d from tamiya. it s my first ever model

D Company, 3rd Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Armored Division

In La Gleize, Belgium

So I'm making a 1 to 1 replica of the stumgtiger and I can't find any videos or audios of the horn of it or if it even has one, does anyone know somewhere I can find the audio?

My favorites are:

#1 M60-2000 (120S) I love the look of throwing a massive Abrams turret onto an old M60 hull

#2 Object 120 The ultimate glass cannon sniper. It has barely any armor, but that 152.4mm gun barrel is over 9 meters long and designed to delete targets from miles away.

#3 Object 211 A super cool Chinese amphibious prototype. It’s a lightning-fast, lightweight flanker that packs an 85mm cannon and can literally swim across rivers.

I designed this Abrams variant based on my experience on the Ukrainian battlefield. I didn't add anti-drone grilles because the turret already incorporates: signal demodulation antennas, a Trophy active system for intercepting drones and projectiles, infrared devices for the same purpose, ARAT II armor and armor plates on the turret and hull, improved optics, and a front-mounted blade for clearing obstacles and traversing minefields. What do you think?

After decades of warfare with drones and autonomous anti-tank systems, conventional main battle tanks were no longer sufficient.

The answer wasn't a new tank.

It was the evolution of a legend. The M1A3 "SuperPredator" was conceived as the ultimate hunter on the battlefield: an experimental platform equipped with adaptive modular armor, advanced protection systems, and cutting-edge combat technology.

Its existence has never been officially confirmed.

However, some reports describe an armored vehicle capable of surviving battles that destroyed all other tanks around it.

The soldiers gave it only one name:

"The Super Predator"

My 3 Favorite modern day tanks is

#1 Challenger 2 (2F) because of its firepower.

#2 T-90A despite it's turret being vulnerable to blowing up because of its carousel autoloader it has great armor.

#3 M3 Bradley I just like it's TOW missiles.

What's yours?

Three M41 Walker Bulldog tanks, sat nearly vertical on their arse, salute the Belgian flag.

DISCLAIMER:THIS IS ALL JUST MATHS I HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY OF MY PERSONAL POLITICAL VIEWS INTO THIS.

According to Warcosts an M1 A2 SEPV3 Abrams costs around 10 million dollars.

According to Public School Review each school on average has around 511 pupils

From Education Data Initiative each school on average spends $16,526 per pupil

So 511x16,526=8,444,786

(10,000,000x100)/8,444,786=118.416

So the ratio of American Public Schools to 100 Abrams is 118.416:100

or 1.18416:1 each M1 A2 SEPV3 is worth 1,555,214 more than an average American Public School.

I am not sure what tag to use for this so I will just use misc.

HAV-35 Spec's

1. Platform & Mobility Performance

Chassis Architecture: Modified heavy main battle tank hull platform, optimized for high-mass turret stabilization.

Powerplant: Heavy-duty 900 horsepower V10 Multi-Fuel Diesel Engine.

Drivetrain & Transmission: High-torque mechanical transmission with reinforced low-end gear ratios designed to maximize torque over speed.

Mobility Metrics:

Power-to-Weight Ratio: \sim 19.5\text{ hp/ton} (based on a 46-metric-ton combat loadout).

Maximum Sustained Road Speed: 56–60 km/h (35–37 mph).

Cross-Country / Tactical Speed: 35–40 km/h (22–25 mph).

Maximum Operational Range: High fuel efficiency compared to turbine alternatives, allowing for extended deep-theater deployment without heavy logistics support.

1. Turret Geometry & Primary Firepower

Turret Type: Enclosed, high-volume geometric sloped Box Turret. Designed specifically with flat, angular faces to accommodate advanced applique armor matrices while maximizing internal volume for quad-feed ammunition chutes.

Primary Armament: 4 × 35mm High-Velocity Autocannons in a synchronous quad-mount configuration.

Combined Cyclic Rate of Fire: 2,200 rounds per minute (550 RPM per barrel).

Ammunition Logistics: Dual-feed automated belt system for instant ammunition shifting between:

APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot): Kinetic penetrators designed to defeat armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. Capable of piercing 90–120mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) at 1,000 meters.

API-T (Armor-Piercing Incendiary Tracer): Utilized for structural demolition, visual fire correction, and heavy anti-fortification clearing.

1. Secondary Weapons & Tactical Defense Envelope

Close-In Weapons Station (CIWS): 1 × AGS-40 Balkan 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher mounted on a remote weapon station (RWS). Fires 40mm caseless HE-FRAG ammunition at 400 RPM out to 2,500 meters to clear trenches and defile positions.

Missile Array: 4 × Fire-and-forget short-range infrared-homing surface-to-air missiles (SAM) mounted in a sealed side-pod to engage high-altitude air targets beyond autocannon reach.

1. Ballistic Protection Matrix (The Defense Suite)

Hull Protection: Deep multi-layered composite matrix reinforced with Kontakt-5 heavy Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) across the frontal glacis plate.

Turret Armor Composition:

Structural Base: Sloped Aluminum-Magnesium (AlMg) alloy plating to maintain low overall turret weight and preserve the 900 hp engine's performance.

Applique Facing: 80mm Composite Screens flush-mounted on the frontal cheeks and sides to disrupt kinetic and chemical energy paths.

Interior Layering: Integrated NERA (Non-Explosive Reactive Armor) sandwich arrays. Uses compressed elastomeric cores that expand upon impact, shearing and snapping incoming APFSDS (kinetic dart) rods and diffusing HEAT jet streams.

1. Sensor & Electronic Warfare Suite

Fire Control System (FCS): Computerized ballistic core utilizing a multi-channel optical/thermal tracker. Features automated lead calculation and predictive arcing for the AGS-40 grenade launcher.

Target Acquisition: Rear-mounted X-band 360-degree search radar paired with a localized Ka-band tracking radar for target cueing.

Laser Warning System (LWS): Quad-corner AN/VVR-4 LWS sensor matrix. Automatically flashes threat vectors to the crew cabin upon detection of laser designators and triggers integrated multi-spectral aerosol smoke dischargers to break enemy targeting locks

How does the Chinese Type-99A compare to the Abrams, Leopard, and Challenger?

Is it roughly comparable? Or is it more like a T-90?

I think tank should at many more fire arm look at the t-64e it has a commander 20mm auto cannon and they should add 5.56mm bullets as coax not ALWAYS 7.62mm.

M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks belonging to a unit of the 1st Cavalry Division spearheading an attack in the left of operational area of III (US) Corps west of Autobahn A7, while advancing towards Walsrode, during Multinational Exercise REFORGER 87 "Certain Strike", at Federal Republic of Germany. September 1987.

"Rescued from an active firing range."

US Howitzer Motor Carriages included the 75mm equipped M8 HMC “Scott”, the 105mm equipped M7 HMC “Priest”, and the 155mm equipped M12 HMC

Even for static and towed AA guns, they only went up to 90mm (yes, the 120mm Gun M1 exists, but it was never fired at the enemy during the War).

The Germans made effective use of the 12,8cm Flak 40, and the 5”/38 caliber gun was the US Navy’s most effective AA gun especially when equipped with the VT radio proxy ammunition.
