Lateef ◊ 2012-03-09 12:01	Reminds me of the tank used in The Calculus Affair.
PeteP ◊ 2012-03-12 14:03	Looks a bit like a Centurion, but it isnt' any actual tank design, probably best to just put it as Made for Movie.
Nightrider ◊ 2012-03-17 07:03	racersg wrote Maybe a Tiger or a Panzer? "facepalm"
Pibwl ◊ 2012-03-20 21:33	I don't think it's supposed to be anything real. Note, that front and rear wheels don't even touch a ground...
maxman ◊ 2012-03-21 20:57	A lot of tanks' running gear don't do that. From the running gear, it looks like a Christie suspension (large road wheels are characteristic of Christie tanks), or a suspension based on the Christie suspension. Based on the road wheels and turret, looks like a Soviet tank, such as a T-44 or even T-54. T-44 Link to "media.moddb.com" T-54 Link to "www.flamber.ru" -- Last edit: 2012-04-24 05:12:22
maxman ◊ 2012-03-21 21:08	racersg wrote Maybe a Tiger or a Panzer? It looks a little like an Abrahms, but the movie is set in like the '40s. It doesn't look even remotely like any of those tanks, or any German tank for that matter, and there are more tanks in the world than the Abrams and Tiger. Also, Panzer is German for tank, from Panzerkampfwagen, which, literally translated, is armoured fighting vehicle. It's only when combined with a number tha it is indicative of a specific tank, such as Pz. II, Pz. III, Pz. IV, Pz. V 'Panther', and Pz. VI 'Tiger'. Then there's Pz. VIB Tiger II, Pz. VII 'Löwe' (several designs; project cancelled), Pz. VIII Maus (one made), and the Pz. XI and X (never designed; used for propaganda only).
maxman ◊ 2012-03-21 21:31	Scratch that. It looks more like a Centurion than any other tank. Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" http://www.travel-images.com/pht/israel347.jpg Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" -- Last edit: 2012-03-21 21:31:31
chicomarx ◊ 2012-04-04 01:33	That kind of comment will get you banned and/or stoned to death, so remove it.
Nightrider ◊ 2012-04-04 11:02	^^ Maybe you sholud try some more kid-oriented sites?
Nightrider ◊ 2012-04-10 18:16	racersg wrote Well, I didn't look at it for that long. Wasn't surprising.
tibi ◊ 2012-04-14 20:00	@racersg: It's not a Panther either.
maxman ◊ 2012-04-24 05:09	chicomarx wrote That kind of comment will get you banned and/or stoned to death, so remove it. What comment? Was it something I said?
maxman ◊ 2012-04-24 05:10	racersg wrote Are you sure? Yes. http://badassoftheweek.com/panther-ausfg1.jpg It looks nothing like a Panther. The tank looks more like a Centurion, or possibly a T-44. -- Last edit: 2012-04-24 05:11:54
Lateef ◊ 2012-04-26 01:26	maxman wrote What comment? Was it something I said? No, not you. racersg posted an ill-mannered response to Nightrider, I think it went: "I came here for the cars, ya dirtbag " - and it has since been deleted. -- Last edit: 2012-04-26 01:33:09
chicomarx ◊ 2012-04-26 01:45	Yeah, he removed it. I've got tremendous authority here. My chief weapon is fear and surprise.
antp ◊ 2012-04-26 15:47	Useless comments were removed several times from this page, and I have the feeling that it will happen again
maxman ◊ 2012-05-06 05:59	So, are we agreed that it's a Centurion with a modified turret?
tom11 ◊ 2012-05-18 03:24	maxman wrote So, are we agreed that it's a Centurion with a modified turret? Yes, looks most like the Centurion.
Pibwl ◊ 2012-08-26 13:17	Where is the scene supposed to be?
tom11 ◊ 2013-04-01 02:24	Pibwl wrote Where is the scene supposed to be? Morocco.
amayo ◊ 2013-05-09 18:22	T-44 crossbred with a Centurion
