I have to admit, I actually rather like the look of these ships.

Take it back, UT is dangerously out of touch with reality.

You know, just in case WoT gets too finished.

The M10 is sort of like US heavies supposedly are: it has very little hull armor, certainly not enough to protect it even at Tier 5; about 13mm. It also has very little turret armor, 50mm frontally, or so the stats claim. This is a lie. The Wolverine has a 120mm thick gun mantlet with a very high sl...

Man, I'd worried you were gone forever.

For some reason, I had a sudden attack of nostaliga for The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest theme. It holds up pretty well, honestly.

Okay so I'm an awful person but I suddenly felt compelled to explore the nature of the Ram-II for awhile, and have come to the conclusion that it will either loldie first, or be an unstoppable murder machine. There is no middle ground. 76mm M1A1 is, at Tier 4, a surprisingly nasty critter. This is o...

Get out.

No, you did not. I wanted to congratulate you if you did, since that's one of the few things I'll offer unironic congratulations for.

In other news, what I'm currently listening to has an Engrish title.

The T40! An M3 Lee conversion, like the others it rips out the turret and goes open-topped. While it has the same 51mm of armor frontal that that the T18 does, the T40's is mostly sloped, granting it somewhat superior shot deflection. It's also a lot quicker. It has superior traverse over the last m...

The T82. Yet another conversion of the M3 Stuart's hull, this one lack the casemate; instead the fighting compartment is open, but at least unlike the similar-tier SU-76 or Marder II it is only open-topped, not open to the back or sides. Once again, the gun is in a forward mount, cut out through a s...

T18: Based on the Stuart hull, it's essentially one step up from a German Marder or Panzerjager I with a fully enclosed casemated hull, and one step down from any sane tank destroyer with its huge high-up gun casemate. The inset and curved mantlet appearing to be one giant shot trap deflecting round...

I shall bring you the story of the US TD line tomorrow.
