Mudkest MetaForge Ekliptika	Posted - 2007.10.06 08:09:00 - [1] Edited by: Mudkest on 06/10/2007 08:11:56 off course the warthog is awesome. Minmatar engineering at it's finest! I'm rather fond of the sr71 blackbird as well though. Like theye had hanging over the hangar of one of those things:"Though I fly through the Valley of Death... I shall fear no evil. For I am at 80000 feet and climbing." then again, the bear is awesome too(something awesome about a turboprop jetplane flying at 39000 feet making enough noise for submarines to track it with it's sonar equipment!) ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Range of 1000 - 6500 feet...for a nuke carried by infantry! Take some balls to fire that thing. or not, depending how you look at it ... ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Mudkest MetaForge Ekliptika	Posted - 2007.10.06 10:30:00 - [3] Originally by: Amarria Black Originally by: Kirjava I say the Blackbird looks pretty damn good. Reports suggest it is run on liquid win. Actually, it ran on JP-7, which it leaked (like a sieve) when parked. yes, cause when that thing is flying at cruising speed it heats up a lot and the hull expands(plugging the holes). if the holes arent there then the hull will wrinkle and all and that's no good for aerodynamics. ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Supposedly it is at least twice as fast as the SR-71 and perhaps more. wasnt the sr-75 a re-designed or rebuild blackbird wich served as a launchpad for the aurora? satalites could also be a reason why spyplanes got retired. ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Russian engineering there's something about being able to measure a shockwave three times from the same location! that's just disturbing. edit: original h-bomb test was 10megatons, Russian Tsar was around 50(scaled down from 100!) ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Mudkest MetaForge Ekliptika	Posted - 2007.10.07 13:25:00 - [7] Originally by: Imperator Jora'h Could but this reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Josef Stalin: "Quantity has a quality all its own." At that point in the war having a 1000 T-34s after you even one shotting them didn't help much. and seeing we're talking about Russia here, loss of "human recourses" was not considered a problem ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

Mudkest MetaForge Ekliptika	Posted - 2007.10.08 22:47:00 - [8] Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny Edited by: Surfin''s PlunderBunny on 08/10/2007 22:40:23 There was a redneck on the Darwin Awards that managed to get his hands on a JATO unit... what did he do? Attached it to the back of his car... hit 350 mph before the car started falling apart, the tires melted, he hit a bump and went airborne for about a mile before hitting a cliff face. They never found the body... edit JATO is used to launch fully loaded C-130s that weigh in excess of 200 tons... the car weighed less than 2 They also mentioned it on the "Darwin Awards" movie... awesome watching. I highly reccomend it yes, I've seen that one on mythbusters as well ... Needle gun is also pretty big. Not much compared to modern weaponry yes, but in its day it was brutal. being able to reload and fire 5 or so rounds in the time it took the enemy to reload their muskets standing up being a big easy to hit target is slaughter ... ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs!

The dogs were kept without food for a few days, then trained to find food under a tank. The dogs quickly learned that once released from their pens, food could be found under tracked vehicles. Once trained, the dogs were fitted with an explosive charge and set loose into a field of oncoming German tanks and other tracked vehicles. When the dog went underneath the tankùwhere there was less armourùthe charge would detonate and damage the enemy vehicle yup, but seeing the dogs were trained with soviet tanks, when theye were put into action theye blew up their own tanks instead of the german ones. For vengeange! also, apearntly the japanese had a simmilar anti-tank weapon. Dig a hole in the ground, on a route where most likely enemy tanks will drive over it. Then put a peasant in it with a big bomb and a hammer. ----- GIEV custom ship paint jobs! I want my hello-kitty-kessie!
