So my wife is pregnant with our firstborn. Today at the hospital tour/dry run, she was talking to some yoga freak north face wearing libtards when decided to tell them, in tones loud enough that the entire group could hear, that we have a "vast arsenal and definitely exercise our Second Amendment rights." Before I could choke her, she also let everyone know that we keep a gun in the car at all times.
This isn't the first time she's violated opsec. I love her /k/. Before she got pregnant she didn't do shit like this. But her brain is fucked these days. I heard her refer to the "siberian peninsula" the other day and this morning she tried to tell me "ridiculatory" is a word. Does it get better?
inb4 staircase/coathanger/etc. She's too far along for that.
Also general wives and girlfriends story thread. Good and bad, let's hear it.

So I know some of you play this game. I know a lot of you who do use the armory mod.
I'll start out with my bomb truck/ gun ship.
It has two 105mm howitzers firing out the nose as well as a pair of 20mm vulcans. It sports 4 .50cal turrets for 360 degree defense. It has four AIM-120's and two AIM-9's.
It features enough Mk82's to level most areas as well as 5 Mk 83's internally to ensure total bombardment. It carries 12 AGM's and six rocket pods.

Not to self, don't go into a dive while under full power and release bombs... having all the bombs under the wings detonate at once is not a pleasant experience.

The last thread was contracted out
Pesante Pasta Edition
> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
Indubitably, the Italian Army had a certain penchant for the applications of light armoured vehicles in warfare, Italy being one of the first nations prior to the Great War to express an interest in the development of armoured cars with the Isotta-Fraschini Tippo RM. However, possibly due to the theatre of operations in WWI being limited to mountainous terrain, tanks never became ingrained in the military mindset of the Italians after the war. By WWII, Italy had still clung onto limited fleets of light tanks, tankettes and mediums to form the bulk of their armoured hitting power. In spite of this, Italy did produce a single model frontline heavy classified tank, the 26 tonne Carro Pesante P26/40. The tank is notable for existing by way of Mussolini’s direct order for the P40 to be produced in 1940, an order fulfilled by the firm Ansaldo. The initial order was pegged at 500 tanks after acceptance in May 1942, and this sum was later doubled after the design was perceived to be a useful asset. Unfortunately, only 21 would be completed before Italy’s capitulation in the war and these few completed tanks were commandeered by German forces, but would see comparatively little action. The tools and schematics were also taken custody of by German designers, who would then create another 100 or so before the war’s end. Issues were rife throughout its life: poor armour thickness (60 mm LOS) exacerbated by riveted joints, no proven engine and anaemic mobility as a result. Potential upgunning and armouring was considered, but never got off the drawing board.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
Another heavy tank, this time from the Italians, although it was a bit of a lightweight compared to its contemporaries. About the lack of a designated engine for the design, it was so improperly managed that a significant portion of the tanks went without engines for the rest of the war and consequently spent their lives as immobile pillboxes.
The upgrades that were planned included a longer barreled 75 or a 90, and improved armour to 80 mm, including a possible shift to welds for improved protection, dubbed the P43, while bis version was planned to sport a better engine. Another prototype that did get a pilot was the Semovente 149/40, a self-propelled artillery piece. It did not fare well in trials, but interestingly enough, it ended up at Aberdeen for American evaluation after the war.
As always, enjoy the thread, and if you have any questions, shoot away.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.
The government of Lithuania has requested a deal with the US for 84 Stryker 8x8 Armored Personnel Carriers, in a potential buy estimated to be worth $599 million USD. The Strykers are also supposed to come with 30 mm cannons and Remote Weapon Systems, either European sourced or US manufactured to fulfil local IFV requirements.
The US Army has also exercised an option with defence conglomerate BAe Systems for more M109A7 Paladin Self Propelled Artillery vehicles, the latest in a string of deals which is expected to be finalised with this move. The Paladin, which had been in Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), began being delivered to the Army back in April 2015.
After much deliberation, Thailand and Ukraine may be close to an agreement for Thailand to license produce Ukrainian designed BTR-3E1 APCs. The Thai Army had ordered 220 BTR-3E1s in the past, which are currently being produced via the Ukrainian Kharkov Morozov Machine Design Bureau, also the producer of T-84 Oplot tanks, another AFV the Thai Army has purchased in the past.
Thursday also marked the conclusion of the final phase of the monumentally large scale NATO run exercise Trident Juncture, involving men, materiel and AFVs from every single NATO partner, and non-participant nations such as Australia and Austria.
And that’s all for now.

This is the first export (potential) of Strykers themselves and not the main LAV family. It is also noteworthy that they will have a pintle mounted M2, a confirmation of what that one anon said.

What do you think about the US Secret Service?
Anyone have some insight on what a day working as a special agent assigned to investigations would be like?
Protective detail, especially the Presidential detail looks interesting. However it seems like you would never see any action because who the hell is going to try to kill a protectee?
Even if someone did try it would probably be a once in a career incident.
Would you work for the USSS? What about some other federal agency, excluding the ATF of course...

I'm trying to tell my friend that massed airborne invasions rarely ever work or nearly always end in heavy casualties, the Germans got massacred at Crete in WW2 and even the airborne landings during Operation Overlord were almost a disaster.
So my question is this, would it be possible for the US to mount a purely airborne invasion of say the UK using only airdrops by parachute trained troops as a means of insertion?

Crete was a disaster because of poor intelligence and planning, not because airborne invasions don't work
That said, there's a very small number of armored vehicles that can be dropped via parachute, and MBTs aren't one of them.

The new ones are way better than the old ones, .22 is gay, they should do a redesign and make it a 9mm, add a compass, small flashlight, Mora style knife and a ferro rod to the butt storage then it would be a true survival weapon.

Looks as though it'd be good for a bug out kit. See if there are any videos up on youtube or something to see how it preforms before you buy it.
