Which school of tank design is superior?

The russian durable, easy to produce, easy to drive, easy to repair tank or the german heavy, powerful, expensive and complicated war machine?
Does this logic also applies to other historical weapons, like the crossbow-longbow comparison, and the spear-sword one?

Also talk tanks, I know next to nothing so I'd love some links and such to light reading or videos.

Quantity beats quality with tanks every time. A tank is really just a cannon on tracks. It's only meant to withstand infantry fire. But it can't even do that now that TOWs exist. Basically you can't build a tank with armor strong enough to withstand fire from another tank.

Is there any evidence for his existence other than the bible? Most arguments for his existence I hear end up being fallacies such as
>there's no evidence against God's existence, therefore he exists (argument from ignorance)
>the bible says God exists therefore he's real
>most people believe in God therefore he exists
>personal experience (argument from personal incredulity)
>the burden of proof
>many experts such scientists or scholars believe in God therefore he's real (false authority)

There are more but I want to hear your take

>the true spiritual hierarchy called "awliya er-Rahman (God)
>opposite to awilya esh-Shaytan (Satan)

Little word play for you guys:

>Rahman is another name for Allah

>Rama is another name for Krsna

Rahman - Rama

Also "Brahman" (impersonal, creating) as another aspect of God in Hinduism. The other two are Paramatman (Great Spirit) and Bhagavan (Personality)

>b-R-A-H-M-A-N and R a h m a n
Since the Bhagavan (Personality) is Krsna, Jesus is also the Bhagavan (Personality).

Jesus, who is the Christ, is also called Christos.

Christos in Sanskrit would translate to Krsna.

When Christians say Christ, they call on GOD. When Hindus say Krsna, they mean GOD.
Just like Krsna can mean all attractive, dark, but also
> "krsh" meaning "truth"
>" na" meaning "bliss.

Also
>Srimad Bhagavatam (3:23)
>in the nineteenth and twentieth incarnations, the Lord advented Himself as Lord Balarama and Lord Krsna in the family of Vrsni (the Yadu dynasty) and by doing so He removed the burden of the world.

Removed the burden of the world.

Interesting. Sounds kind of like what Jesus does.

Most people are Christian because their parents are, and never bother to learn philosophy. It's the sad truth. That's why Christianity is growing like mad in uneducated places like Africa and shrinking in the West

So /his/, just how bullshit was this movie?
Aside from the slightly supernatural nonsense, I'm aware that it's based on a real dude and a real battle between real armies.

But in terms of numbers and actual known facts, were the Spartans as based as this movie implies? Were the Persians really that shitty?

My friend likes to think he's an expert and says that Spartans could get their shit pushed in during any open battle with most other Greek states but I dunno. What do you guys think of le ebin Spartans?
246 posts and 15 images submitted.
>>
There were 300 Spartans, but also a few thousand Argives iirc.
>>
It's loosely based on Greek accounts of an actual battle. According to Herodotus it was 300 Spartans against 3 million Persians. That's considered to be an extreme exaggeration though, it was most likely about 10 000 on the Greek side (from various cities) and about 100 000 on the Persian side. And the Greeks got totally wrecked, though they probably did kill a lot of Persians in the process.
>>
>>331586
After the sequel to this movie it looks like they're going full fiction and acting like the Greeks are actually going to beat the Persians. Be kind of a pity.

I always assumed /his/ would insist that the Spartan fighting prowess was just a meme.
