Grenny Posted May 8, 2017 Up again this week in Grafenwöhr. German team will be from PzBtl 203. Well, the team from GebPzBtl 8 , that won last year knew Grafenwöhr really well. Will be more difficult for the 203ers ...they are from north germany. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake Posted May 8, 2017 Grafenwöhr is a terrible range for tank gunnery. IMO. Or, at least, with the engagement ranges being rather short, there's a shift of emphasis from precision gunnery to quick reactions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grenny Posted May 8, 2017 It will be interessting still. There are team from austria and france too. There are ranges that allow shooting up to 3000m. thats ok i think? They also have very good target and tgt tracking system...and they have heated targets. Something Bergen is missing.. Wonder how they'll adjust the competition rules as for some challenges the french team will be 4 men short. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was a bit surprised to see T-64s participating, but apparently there are a few more nations than just Austria, France, Germany, and the US: Platoons from six NATO and partner nations are scheduled to take part in the challenge. The participants are: Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Ukraine and the United States. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furia Posted May 14, 2017 Talking in another thread aboutt of the brilliant logo for E-simgames, seems the Winners Trophy for this competition has also been inspired on the same idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grenny Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Well, I can only rely on the army website for info. non of "our" crews took part this year. (German team this year was from PzBtl 203) But thats ok, otherwise it would have been germany on #1 again ;-) Edited May 14, 2017 by Grenny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nike-Ajax Posted May 29, 2017 Arent Aurstrians and Germans like cousins ... So it stays in the family as it were ... ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake Posted May 29, 2017 Hm... we would never admit it to outsiders. It's like saying that the Dutch are, somehow, German. Which isn't entirely a lie - but still wouldn't go down well if a German said it out loud in the Netherlands. There is certainly a shared cultural heritage, and a lot of common history. And then, there are a lot of differences, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt DeFault Posted May 31, 2017 Lol. I once hung out with some Czech and Slovak friends who were visiting the U.S. in North Carolina. I made the mistake of calling a Slovak a Czech (or was it the other way 'round?). He was very offended. I said "What's the difference? It was all Czechoslovakia not too long ago, right?" He replied "It's as if I called you Canadian". I said "Point taken. I apologize." (I woke up the next day at a picnic table. My head was pounding. I asked a young girl where everyone had gone. She replied "To work." I must say: those Czechs and Slovaks sure can hold their liquor!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacbat Posted June 8, 2017 Instead of apologizing, you should have just said, "thanks". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
