ChuikovChambered Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Wow, that tank looks like a lot of fun. No more battlefield duty for it anymore (orange might never be removed by the troops when they get it back), but nice shade of orange, and when do the kiddies get to ride in it?:biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GH_Lieste Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 The front skirt armour looks odd. Is that a maintenance position or is it supposed to be unlatched like that for increased protection area? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 When you go to upload this to the Download area, make sure the thumbnail image is under 128 x 128 pixels. I hear the moderator can be picky about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH_Lieste Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 So... is the Leo2A5 missing some flank protection in SB ProPE, or does it depend on user and configuration? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 6, 2008 Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 The front skirt armour looks odd. Is that a maintenance position or is it supposed to be unlatched like that for increased protection area?No, it's a maintenance position. The frontal elements are too heavy to be lifted by two men, so you need to open them and then lift the rest (though, thinking about it, most soldiers would say "screw it!" and leave them complete just so they don't have to lift the other half up again so that the connector bolt can be locked. That takes a while and requires both great strength, fine control, and the more endurance the less dextrous you are; subjectively that's probably worse than pushing an extra heavy load). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paint the tank allmost in the end of the clip. http://www.geenstijl.tv/2008/06/rutger_is_trots_op_onze_jongen.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi,The Steel Beasts version is mentioned in this news item on the Dutch MOD site:http://www.mindef.nl/actueel/nieuws/2008/06/20080613_oranje_tank.aspx"Orange tank enjoys great fameThe orange tank that could be seen in a recent clip on the popular internetsite GeenStijl, has taken on a life of its own. The conspicuous appearance has been the subject of many television and radio programs and pictures of the armoured vehicle can be found on many internet sites.The brightly coloured Leopard is now also appearing in the virtual world. Users of the Steel Beasts computer game have imported the orange tank into this realistic tank simulator.This unheard of dissemination contributes to the primary aim of the tank: to draw visual attention to the pride in the Dutch troops. The slogan 'Proud of our lads", written in black letters on the side, does not just relate to the foot ball team, but especially to the military personnel active on missions, such as amongst others in Afghanistan, Chad and the Balkans."Regards,Sander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
