Gibsonm Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yes agreed.The second vehicle does some "to ing" and "fro ing" to try and dislodge the front one from debris (perhaps it hit the wall and the parts of the building collapsed onto it) and then when it does get purchase, its a straight pull to the rear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The sad (?) thing is that they probably believe in all sincerity that Abdul and his rifle drove off two tanks that were attacking the building by superior skill and daring.

3Star Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Love or hate world of tanks You have to give them credit where its due.They are spending serious amounts of cash to promote there productWatching the video i said to my self what a bunch of sell outsI have bought books published by three of them. and here they are basically Promoting what in my opinion is a Arcade game. as a tank Sim But then i remembered what sparked my interest in Armour.It was a Sega mega drive tank game.from there i moved on to better and more realistic tank SimsAnd eventually finding SB.so in retrospect they are doing a service to armoured warfareEnthusiasts.because if even a minuscule amount of WOT player develop a interestIn real armoured tactics it can only be a good thing for the SB community.1) They did not sell out. In fact, they weren't paid anything at all except expenses. They came along for, mainly, three reasons.a) It was an opportunity for them to reach a wider audience, and speak to more people than ordinarily read their books.b) They got to meet each other, a rare event. They spent most of the time comparing notes, and bettering their own knowledge is good for the tank community as a whole.c) They thought it might be... (gasp)... Fun!And it was, they all enjoyed themselves immensely.so in retrospect they are doing a service to armoured warfare EnthusiastsThis was the philosophy when that meeting was set up, and also the "Inside the Hatch" videos. You will notice that almost nothing in either series of videos references the game. The subjects are purely the real tanks. The idea is to be informative and accurate firstly and foremostly. They are videos of interest to people who do not play the game, and may never wish to play the game. They engender more 'tank interest', and better yet, of a quality higher than you'll get on The Military Channel (Or wherever). And for WoT's purposes, they increase brand awareness. It's a win-win for WoT and tank enthusiasts both. Even if they did 'sell out' (as I said, they didn't, but let's say they did), what's the problem? They didn't advocate anything other than real-world history of the quality they are known for. You are letting your cynicism get the better of yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipuli Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yeah... I gave a link to the video in my thread and now the video is posted on youtube like 10 times + liveleak etc. That was fast, LOL...

Quagmire Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I had no idea the video was already posted as part of a '1st December thread' elsewhere in the forums - I certainly hadn't seen it, and I couldn't find it in the Video Thread either. I came across the clip while browsing Youtube. Not sure why dave1978 linked it again directly after my post though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think his later comments indicate that he revised his opinion later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Short clip of Leopard 2 vs T55:Q7FUjVHx46c I have a feeling what will happen at the end of the exercise:everyone will go over the range again on hands and knees to find that assault rifle after it dropped from the turret... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipuli Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Grenny, do notice the rifle sling is wrapper around that metal thingy pointing upwards (guess the original german thing for ze flashing light seen in Eisenschwein's images?), and even if the tank would roll over, the rifle would still be there. The reason we use the rifle like that is the terrain we got... The loader's MG is nice, but not good for quick close up engagements, or useless if the belt runs out. And when the need arises, there's no time to go inside the tank to get the rifle. Just unwrap the sling and you're good to go! I use my rifle the same way in my command CV9030. In simulation (SAAB BT = MILES for the US dudes) exercises, the rifle (with laser emitter) has been handy in countles close up situation! Fire the rifle first to force the pesky AT gunner (trying to take a flank shot) to take cover, then traverse the turret and "remove" the threat with some 30mm loving. Works every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
