/thg/ is a thread for discussion about tanks and other armored fighting vehicle.
Please keep things civil and cite sources.
In 1933 France started to issue requirements for a replacement for the WWI vintage Renault FT-17. This replacement would become the Renault R35, a mix of obsolete and cutting edge. The French were aware of the shortcomings of the design but rushed the R35 into production in 1936 anyways due to the need to match German rearmament.
The tank was – in theory – well armored, three centimeters with a good slope. However the casting technology used produced poor quality armor, leaving it vulnerable to 25mm guns. Capable of 20 kph the R35 was considered mobile enough for its role as an infantry tank, in fact this is twice the maximum speed called for in the 1933 requirements. Armament consisted of a 37mm SA18 from the FT-17 and a coaxial 7.5mm machine gun. This was a rather lackluster armament.
The biggest disadvantage to the R35 was its one man turret. The commander was forced to act as commander, gunner and loader at simultaneously. This massive overloading was not helped by the poor ergonomics of tank.
In combat the R35 was decidedly mediocre, hampered by its distribution into pennypackets with the infantry and the general state of disorganization that quickly overtook the French army in the Battle of France. Despite this some R35 equipped units did see limited success, particularly against the Italians. After 1940 captured tanks used by the Germans in the Baltics saw considerable success, as the light two-man tanks were able to traverse the narrow mountain roads which defined the region the light armor was immune to the partisan’s small arms.

Tank and AFV news as per the format:
- Pakistani has entered into talks with Ukraine about a purchase of 100 Oplot tanks.
- Rumors about an Iraqi purchase of T-90 have solidified into a confirmation of a purchase of 73 T-90S/SK tanks.
- Turkey has decided to start a program for an indigenous AAV.
- Boeing and GDLS have announced a partnership to build a SHORAD vehicle based on the Stryker.
- Turkey moves forward with the Altay program, soliciting bids from three local firms for production. Value is estimated at more than $10 billion.

Would the Bv206 type design theoretically work if upscaled for a large and heavily armored tank? A joint like that allows it some rather absurd mobility:

Fucking awesome, mate. Keep up the good work. I've been in your position a couple times. Drank more rum than I should have and woke up on the floor with my nugget in my lap and dressed in full Swiss alpenflage gear with an M40 gas mask by my side.

>>34843391
It's not fun. It's borderline milsim and full survival. It's a comfy game if you can get into it. But the worst thing is someone that is into it recommending it to you. Because that person is broken and seems to enjoy it. And if you go into it expecting it to be as good as that person told you, then you will have a bad time. It will run on a potato and lemon wired in series, so anything you own can run it. Nothing online it is too old. No mac compatibility that I have seen.
It's a good game if you really want to see some shit.

Hey /k/, since Gander Mountain is going out of business all their shit is like 60% off, and I saw an H&K p30s for $629 (normally ~$1000 . I am really tempted to get it, but at the same time I just bought a glock 23 last month. It is my first pistol, and I like it so far, but man the p30 looks nice.
I have the money to get the p30, but I am not sure if I should. Should I just stick with my glock for now until I get good at shooting?

If you have the money, get it.
You will not regret the purchase.

I mean, if you figure out you don't like it then turn it around for $800.

Was there a period where black powder metallic cartridges used ball ammo? This is the only picture I can find of one.
Also, would a ball even benefit from rifling?

A ball wouldn't benefit for anything than being a ball.

By the time mettalic cartridges came around people had already realized that longer bullets with faster rifling usually flew better. There is information for "gallery loads" for some cartridges that use a ball, probably for reduced recoil. Whether these are historically accurate or not, I don't know.

Will magnetically-accelerated weaponry ever be scaled down to the small arms scale? Would it be possible for these weapons to be fully automatic, if not semi? What are the chances they would dominate the market, and make conventional firearms obsolete relics?

I feel like if they could be scaled down they would become too good to be true, able to pierce through any body armor imaginable. It's hard to imagine a reason anybody would buy anything else
>>
>>34842387
yes, yes, and low.
energy storage is a big problem, fast-acting discharge is a problem, and the rails or coils are a small problem.
You'd need a good plot device like room-temp superconductors.
