Haven't looked in for awhile, I see a diversion is needed. I can say the following 800ft, +20 knots, many hundreds of pounds+++ per square inch, "Crazy Ivan" was for real, slept with our food (7 month deployment), been places I can never talk about and been places I can, hoped to never die like the guys did on the
THRESHER, SCORPION, BONEFISH (Had a friend/crewman who was on the BONEFISH during her last voyage.) and the
KURSK (We could've saved them but they wouldn't let us-"national pride" led to suffocation-that one hurt if you could've seen what we could.), been shot at on the range with the new MK-48 ADCAP - not fun either as it's "whizzing" around you and finally missed the hell out of CINCLANTHOME and the kids with 12 years under the sea.
But you want to know what was the scariest thing of all!?! Yep, the Germans and French are going to try again to jointly develop an MBT together to replace the LEOPARD 2 and LECLERC tanks. The last attempt was unsuccessful leading to the separate development of the
LEOPARD and for France the interim
AMX-30/AMX-30B2 BRENNUS and eventually
LECLERC.
And no,
we will not see this tank in this game...
