A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Here's the whole original (and readable) pic https://i.imgur.com/6sPxFAO.jpeg
Also, the abrahams is probably even better, as you'll stick your head out, not to mention camera views
The Abrams is great, the suspension is such that you';d barely feel them.
Fairly certain the suspension would not be needed when you liquify a human being under the tracks
NICE. I would like to see the Cybertruck and BYD vehicles added, among others, but I will definitely take a broader chart over a cherry-picked up-to-date one!
Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.
Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.
Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D
The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.
As an American, I don't see the appeal of those trucks. We also have trucks with flat fronts, they're just not as popular.
I'm guessing the European ones are harder to get into, though, or have less sleeping space. That engine has to go somewhere,
American trucks need American units 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🚀💥💦
Ok so, how about 9.45 of shot school kids of 1m each?
Terrible.
1/63rd Furlongs to see a 1000 caliber 36 month old from the drinking seat of a light duty American truck.

Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.
I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old...
And a nearly twice as tall 3 year old
I'd go for the Abrams if it didn't have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it's good to get out of a traffic jam.
"Oh, you're gonna cut ME off you little shit!? We'll see about that."
Make sure you try that before in front of a mirror like in Taxi Driver for convincing results.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Eddie Hall(former world strongest man) did. At least he drove over someone else's car before.
I can tell you're not American because we consider fuel economy to work like golf, the lower the number the better.

I wasn't aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.
Make sure you specify what kind of firearm you want with the uber order, otherwise you could get something stupid.
What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?
"They are made for small children, that's why they have an ammo carousel!"
*slaps turret and gets blown up by random bolted-on Kontakt ERA
They're actually really good for this, none of the crew had any jolt or bounce injuries after either Budapest or Tienanmen.
You'd have to file a 285 if you tried to pull that in a sherman.
Dark ergonomics.
My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.
Lambo it is.
Now what about if you’ve lifted the front about 2 feet and lower the back? That’s big these days.
GMC Sierra it is, perfect for "accidents"
TBF, the type of vehicle doesn't really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn't see the person, that you are shocked, and it's just an "accident". Nobody will question this.
Especially if the person you murdered is on a bicycle, or has ever ridden a bicycle.
Do that, I dare you, see how it actually works out for you 🤣
I don't have a license nor a car so it might be more suspicious in the first place. I also don't want to murder anybody. But seeing how our society considers deaths cause by cars as normal and unavoidable "accidents", I'll probably still have more chances of getting away with it.
Like, sorry, I didn't see them, I'm just learning, it was an accident. The person just jumped in front of the car, in dark clothing, with no reflective gear.
Deaths caused by cars are horribly normalized.
Go ahead try it. You've linked an opinion piece and a paper on news headlines. You didn't just Google those and then linked then before fully understanding in order to try and win an Internet agreement did you? You also ignore that the overall clearance rate for murder starts under 50% and convictions below 30 right, but you expect that to be a higher clearance for bikes?
No, I linked those because I have had this argument for years now and it's tiresome. People driving cars can clearly get away with much more than if they were not in a car.
The last incident I just read about was a cyclist that was killed by someone in a car. He was in a group of 10 and the driver claims she didn't see him. No charges, it was "obviously" an accident. Someone is dead, killed by someone driving a car, and it's no biggie. It's just an "accident".
So, whatever the clearance, either it's a huge pickup or a sedan, it doesn't really matter if the driver can see people in front of them or not, they can just say they didn't see them, it's an "accident".
There are indeed statistics on how clearance and the height of a vehicle can be more deadly, but again, it doesn't really matter because nobody cares about deaths caused by cars.
👌👍
Where Miata tank specs?
Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?
Correct
Are they at least equipped with parking sensors?
Parking sensors, schmarking sensors. 64 tons of steel, tread and f*ck-you-firepower says I park where I want.
yeah but you have to pay extra
Nobody here is going to pay for that. When you drive an Abrams, you can afford a few parking tickets here and there.
No one gives an Abrams a parking ticket.
