Realisticly I would call any tank that couldn't survive the most common weapons it would come across as a soft tank.as far as bad is concerned a tank that can fulfill its objective do to poor speed or inadequate weaponry.

Why field a soldier when you can field several thousand bulets for the same cost?

>>34968706
>what would replace ALL the roles a tank fills?

why field an army while you can nuke them from the orbit?

Whatever happened to Yak? Or Ilyushin for that matter? Seems like they just faded away to irrelevance.

>>34964613
They weren't even producing much during the last years of the USSR, I think they just got eclipsed by Sukhois.

It was a real piece of shit.

Japan had much more rudimentary sonar and radar systems and no effective ASW aircraft, and never deployed their smaller carriers in an ASW role.

Meanwhile, Germany gradually lost the industrial capacity to replace the losses inflicted on their submarine fleet through the Allies' ASW programs, while the American sub forces in particular studied, adopted and improved upon many German tactics, especially wolf packs.

The long and short of it is, like most other things in the war, American industrial capacity proved overwhelming.

Japan didn't know the first thing about ASW, they didn't even implement a proper convoy system which is WW1 tactics, let alone all the technological advances like sonar/asdic, maritime radar, hedgehog, air patrols, and SIGINT (both codebreaking, and advanced direction finding).

>>34964138
In addition, we broke the German radio codes. The Japanese didn't break ours. We also controlled both sides of the Atlantic. The Japanese never could have ASW patrols over the entire ocean like the Allies.

Family, my hometown's there (also currently have work right now) and 10 thousand acres of family property tied up in a stupidly designed trust that my brothers and dad are trying to buy our uncle and one cousin out of (I have no stake in that though, was too young to legally sign when our granddad drafted up the trust), as soon as my current job ends (september 30th) I can pull stake and run off to nevada if I wanted.

It lacks a hydraulic jack against the enemy's hull though.

Probably none out there that will be reliable on a shotgun. It still Chinese, but try to find a used to refurbished Primary arms or Holosun red dot, they are made by the same manufacturer.

Just tape a magnifying glass on the receiver.

Get a PA Advanced dot and fuck off.

a cover up of what?

definitely a cover-up about HOW it happened
pretty unarguable what happened though

no, its the navy.

Did a NK sub hit it with a torpedo?

There's not a deer on earth that won't die if you put a 22LR in its heart. It all comes down to shot placement and penetration.

>>34967952
That's true, but 22 LR lacks the range and penetration to be a good deer round. 243 has ample range and penetration.

>barrel burner

>Hauling guys around in the bed without being shot at

Yeah that'd be okay, but you'd be better off with a bus or the like that's expressly designed for carrying people. Better ride, more room, actual seats, etc.

>What if I want to put armor on it and drive it into a combat zone
You're going to spend an awful lot of time and money, particularly if you're just using steel or the like. The platform presumably has the load bearing capability, but you may struggle to jury rig attachment points for armoring the engine AND keeping the engine cool now that you've stuck a couple inches of steel in front of the radiator.

Plus you're going to have a ton of weak points in the cab area

Off road potential may not be very good compared to purpose built vehicles, either.

I would imagine they would make good up armored gun trucks, which aren't quite APCs but have been in use since forever anyway as a good enough stopgap when you can't get a real APC

>keeping the engine cool now that you've stuck a couple inches of steel in front of the radiator.
only if you dont have a competent engineering team.

The easy solution is to make a "scoop" system that pulls air in from under the truck and funnels it into the rad.

>>34967898
depends on what is being fired at it

>>34967800
The standard Baofeng radios are okay, and under $30. You can upgrade to an 8 watt version for about twice that. Still way cheaper than a Yaesu, though the Yaesu will be top notch.

>>34967528
Reworked K98ks were kept in K98k configuration. If your rifle is set up in that way, it's just a garden variety M48.

From what I've heard (not much) the VP9 is probably the best choice.

>>34967405
Option C tell them to get you a Glock 19 gen 5.
