    So, I did a little research, Armored Warfare (cough) is basically a Russian version of the MMO game World of Tanks, or is trying to be, and this is one of the videos they came out with in collaboration. So, take all of this with a healthy shot of vodka, tovarisch.

    Ugh...the US Military and everyone else got tunnel vision with COIN during the 2000's and are now having to refocus on the bigger picture again. I agree, hopefully they will get committed to something decent for ADA defense, they are supposedly looking at some proposed ADA variants of Stryker...

    It would, but as I recall the ADATS, while it had great potential, still had some teething issues, performance in inclement weather apparently one of them, at least according to US Army testing. However the Canadians had already started field use of them on modified M113 chassis along with...

    So....last night, I had a crazy idea....rest assured, there was no alcohol involved...at least AFAIK. And if this isn't the thread for this notion, let me know. - So let's say the Sgt. York gets resurrected as discussed. Around this same time the US Army had purchased in modest amounts the...

    To summarize in this 'verse I'm working on, things start going to hell in October '86 with Gorbachev deposed in a coup, and gets the 9mm retirement package. Other events occur over the next few years and it all goes to hell from there. In this timeframe, Reagan is still in charge and...

After a chat with CurtisLemay, for this fictional 'verse I'm writing up a "what if" version of the Sgt. York that will go through a bit of an...upgrade and will be seeing action on the...
