We have the same retards here in our country as well - both among educated / and non educated, wealthy and poor situated. Last year a guy attached his dog via a cable to his car and "took" the poor dog to a ride... towed it after the car on asphalt... and the dog was still alive when they caught him. And when they asked him why he did that he said he was just bored... From my PoW zero tolerance for such fellows.

Host up a game - send message to all + your IP - and see what happens. It's good to talk about SB and have a chat with others - but personally I prefer playing this goddamn game online with others. I used to sit hours in the lobby and then couple hours more in the "looking for game" section on TS, but nobody was hosting up a game or wanting to play one. It took several hours to get one going - and "back then" there were much more people around. Having an 8 player cap limit on multi- sessions doesn't help things either - if a "regular" player could at least host up for 12 that would help a lot. Also - a sidenote: I think it would be useful to have some sort of "chatbox" here on steelbeasts.com where you could post up messages like "game is up, IP..., starting in 15 minutes, coop, etc." A lot of people don't go on teamspeak becasue they see that nobody is around - but I'm sure some would want to join if they have the time & are browsing the site. Just an idea...

Actually it "works" on the M1A1 as well - guess it happens with other vehicles as well.

It works on the Leo2A5 - everytime, Beta - you get sort of launched out in the sky.

Do the following: pop your head out of the hatch (commanders position) + swith on binoculars + move down into the turret (bino still on) and see what happens - small surprise

I thought I've heard that this idea was abandoned, since the temperature was extreme high due to the engine at back of the tank

EDIT - I've just seen the other thread got locked - so I don't mean to hijack here - and rather remove the first part of my comment to this. Part 2: Does anybody make a video of it or record it? - would be nice to see how its going along. Shot - in a worst case scenario, if there is nobody around to host it p for you, I think you could try asking the germans to host it up. Have fun & make some vids!!!

How do you reload the new 50 Cal mounted on the gun?

Excellent video!! Do you know where to get this in downloadable version DarkLabor?

I've put it on because if you hit google or youtube you are able to find in 10 seconds much more pics and even videos of M1's getting wacked the same way. Hopefully it doesn't endanger anyone.

Plus effects of a RPG hit propably on an M1A1 (HA) but I guess Dragon6 should fill us in the details Thanks for sharing then Dragon6G!

M1A2 SEP TUSK pics rom Iraq: Dragon6G was kind enough to send me over some pictures he made from his M1A2 SEP TUSK tank fielded in Iraq.

I don't see any problem about having a discussion about it. It's not meant to be offensive or demandive inrespect to anybody. The last thing on my mind is to piss here somebody off. IMO if you don't want to get into this just don't reply to the thread so that it dies down by himself. If anybody from the devs team is annoyed by this thread just remove it or say so and I will remove it personally.

My intention is to stir up the water a bit. Maybe we can squeeze out some new infos from the developers regarding the upcoming major update in the summer I'm personally very keen on wheter the Leopard2A6 is going to be included in it or not? this hasn't been confirmed nor denied before.

Welcome back! Its good to hear finally something about the TUSK - do you have some first hand pics or vids of it?

As for Neutralia - I don't want to go into details right now - because I'm not in charge, but I can tell you that something big is coming along, which is going to stir up the water a bit. So stay tooned As for Counterstroke - there was nothing intentional in not taking part of that, its just that weekends are mostly off for our members. I personally wanted to participate, but I just don't have the time for it - my girlfriend is not letting me She is the CO on the weekends, and a pretty strict one too

I think the upcoming "Neutralia" project will definitly be able to give new fuel to online gaming.

I am writing in hopes to get something straightened that probaply should have been long ago, I will also try to be as conrete as possible. TH you seem to have an issue with Billy that I think is not my bussiness, or anybody elses here in the community - this thing should be sorted out between the two of you, and be restricted to you alone. You were making obvious suggestions to the SB Generals, and as a founder and co-leader of it I feel its time to raise my voice. My biggest pain in the ass the some members in this community are obsessively against 1 or 2 particular persons in the VU, and because of this they hate and attack everything in connection with them, especially the VU. Heck even myself been labelled as being corrupt once in comments by "SBdefender". By putting blame on a VU just because of a few members that you can't get along results in putting blame on everybody who is involved with this. Judgeing a whole community by only one of its members isn't very wise. We are completely open to everyone. Why not just hop in once TH to us and see how things are and get to know the rest of the guys, have a game, chit-chat stuffs like that. I personally think VU's are the way to go for the online community, just because there needs to be some sort of organisation. The members of the Steel Beasts community are from all over the world - which means different time zones, different way of life, different age etc. There isn't a dedicated host, getting a game strarted takes eons, if there is a game going you cant join unless everybody goes back and start all over etc. - this doesn't make things better either. I'm glad to say that we are able to arrange at least 1 big game per week with the germans (we use to have over 30 players recently ) - which has been going on for half year now. TS during weekdays is pretty much deserted, I hardly see anyone online except for us.

Sad to hear that - See you guys back online soon!

Yeah maybe... But on my end there is absolutely zero tolerance towards this kind of behaviour... what if next time he is back in the States he just walks in puplic place and starts shooting people all over the place...

Thanks Irish! I was about to ask you wheter you have some good videos / refernce materials (youtube is OK as well) from where I could grab out some Chally sounds?

Got it Congo - I owe you one - yet again gotta get you a beer sometime!

Since there are quite a lot talented people around here who have already made Leo2A5 skins, hopefully someone will know this. There are two cables running across in the back of the Leo2A5 - does anyone know which part of the template/skin is responsible for the colour of these cables?
