RE: [TANKS] The Silent Brother Speaks
Joe, the accurate-to-the-bolt police would like to correct your spelling of Saukopf! BTW, where is the video of the FOA Tiger racing Doug's vehicle? I think I hit his vehicle on my turn around. That could generate some genuine discussion on safety/speed/inexperience? Loic the dangerous rookie with speed -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Re: [TANKS] The Silent Brother Speaks
Karma is a bitch. You agreed to retire the squeeky pig over a year ago, but then dragged it out for yet another year of battling. Time to build your second tank and have fun for another 10 years without maintenance. Surely, there are enough grad students to do the work for you ;-) On 12/19/2013 5:34 PM, Joe Sommer wrote: The least fun time has been the past year in which she had frequent failures. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Just because she carries a sauskopf mantlet does not convey license to call her a squeaky pig.

Paul, be careful not to inject too much common sense into the mailing
list discussions. If newbies actually start spending time working on
the important things like reliability and usability, we'll (a) see too
many people actually battling and (b) have a harder time slaughtering
them. We don't need any more rookies like Mangus and Loic who build
reliable, effective tanks and then have fun with them battling in their
first events.

... The *most* important design considerations are to build the smallest
possible vehicle and install the most complicated automatic fire-control
system you can find, with plenty of lasers and cameras pointing in all
directions. Only then will you be able to dominate the battlefield.

[TANKS] The Silent Brother Speaks
Tankers, I've seen a flurry of recent posts discussing the merits of different types and styles of tanks. As one of the tankers who had a 36 scale Russian heavy tank, T018 - KV-1, current owner of one of the smallest 1/6 scale German tank, T077 - Panzer II, and in the process of building a 36 scale American monster, M60A3, I've found that the following three factors are what I most worry about: (1) Reliability of the tank when operated under battle conditions, (2) Accuracy in firing paint at the adversary, and (3) Efficiency in reincarnation. In fact, I would say that the above list is prioritized with reliability being most important. Basically, if your tank can operate in whatever conditions we battle in, you're bound to have a good time and score some hits. I'm not proud and will gladly score the mercy kill when someone throws a track, we determine that their ball feed is no longer working, their gun is misfiring, or my favorite, their battery cut-off cut-off because they hit a tree backing up! Given that some of the venerable tanks (Tiger T001, Hetzer T010, T026 SU-100, and T040 Cromwell) are definitely showing their age, having a tank that is reliable on the battle field is key. Accuracy for me is all about being able to quickly line up a target, fire, adjust, fire again, and then get moving! The tank destroyer gang enjoy the slow, get in your face, first one to budge is going to get blasted, style of battle. In either case, it's your ability to line up a target and fire before someone else does the same to you. Lastly, regardless of whether you have a small tank, large tank, fast tank or slow tank, you're going to get painted. Therefore, the ability to quickly get back to base, clean off the offensive goo, reload and get back into the battle is important. The above is offered for consideration. Bottomline: Build the type of tank you like, but be mindful of what it takes to survive the battle. Paul -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.
