But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Russian troops mounted on APCs driving through a city during the Russian-Georgian war in 08. On the left side a destroyed Georgian tank can be seen (what kind of tanks did they use? T-72s?).

Mostly T-72's , around 250 of them


This monster is the IS-7. 68 tonnes. In 1948 it had 300MM Armor, 8 Machine guns,68 Tonnes , an unexpected road speed of 60!!! KM/H, but more importantly a 130MM Naval cannon, with state of the art Aiming, fire control and stabelizing systems.

Only 3 built though,one can be viewed in the kubinka Tank musuem, and appearntly, the storage of Kubinka tank museum, holds another one(Of wich the storage is secret and holds many many more tanks, of wich Many believe the only remaining French superheavy tank, the Char 2C "Champagne" is located)

Be glad that i always will speak ingame with english first! Many gerries, frenchies simply refuse to speak in english, and always start first in their language!
I understand and fully appreciate your effort, but just take it as constructive criticism because you'll lose marks in your English essays writing didn't like that. Also, all Germans that I've know have spoken very good English, the French however...
Well they speak good english. But many of them simply have the attitude of= MY language first!

On a server like Hslan, this is alright. It is a german owned server. But many people just come to a server and  start to speak in their language when they a problem

Or even worse, Start to insult people in their language.



Scorpion Light tanks during manouver's. I always loved these little beauties, and their variants like the Scimitar. THe Belgian army had Many of them, and they had excellent performance of a Tracked vehicle, and the Maintance ease of a wheeled one. Still, our lame Defense minister De crem or "Crembo" says Tracked vehicles are ftl, obsolete, useless etc and wants to phase out all tracked vehicles.
Aka Piranha III armed with machine guns and other light AP equipment are supposed to replace our Leopard tanks. Complete Bullshit imo
