"You're welcome."

xanadian		2012-05-08 09:43:26 AM

My paladin is prot spec, but a cloth wearer.

Is that strange enough?

WickerNipple		2012-05-08 10:16:42 AM

Not as strange as there being no article here.

Do subtards get bonus revenue for linking to sites posting other people's work for clickthroughs?

Fish in a Barrel		2012-05-08 10:20:05 AM

The actual article

Treygreen13		2012-05-08 10:22:45 AM

You know, the old 1 item list.

maverickzy		2012-05-08 10:26:09 AM

Those tanks appear to be fight.

SithLord		2012-05-08 10:29:05 AM

Driving that Leonardo Da Vinci tank is a pain in the ass in AC: Brotherhood.

Subby: ~~The strangest tanks in history.~~ a strange tank.

FIFY

Yeah, that was pretty stupid. I feel like a tool for having clicked.

maverickzy: Those tanks appear to be fight.

That was my thought before I got to the link and felt betrayed.

It doesn't seem like steampunk art student guy who drew this pic has much of an understanding of concepts like "muzzle loading" and "recoil".

cgraves67		2012-05-08 10:40:02 AM

This is one of those retarded articles about a blog-post deals. You have to click the next link to the actual content.

I can't believe that big Russian tricycle was actually built.

Huh. A slideshow with just one slide. Interdasting.

It was the a boss in Toy Soldiers, the Xbox 360 Game.

Scratch an extra "the" from that last post.

bhcompy		2012-05-08 10:51:24 AM

Since they have concept art, how the fark can they ignore the Ratte? 1000 tons, 2 28cm Battleship guns, a veritable fortress on treads.

Glad to see the Tsarist Russians made it with both entries--the Vezdekhod and the Tsar Tank.

Submitter needs to DIAF for linking his click through blog for ad revenue.

I dont know, if fark is actually getting kickbacks, fine. But im starting to get pretty fed up with these shenanigans. Interesting article, but the site with the link had a farking giant popdown ad with an autoplay video.

Nothing To See Here		2012-05-08 11:04:55 AM

Tanks, for the memories . . .

Travis_Bickle		2012-05-08 11:06:29 AM

Subby is a Wampleresque douchewad.

Neatorama, I'll add that one to the list.

Outlawtsar		2012-05-08 11:07:04 AM

They should really throw some of these in World of Tanks. They have so many experimental things in there now anyway, why not some of these off the wall ones?

Strangest tank in the World is my septic tank, if you go by contents.

Cyno01		2012-05-08 12:03:12 PM

For the most part, we come to fark for the commentary provided by farkers. Now a good chunk of links are news articles, but everything else, the random links from around the web, we don't need some middleman bloggers commentary on the content. If anyone wanted that they'd just browse gawker etc themselves and skip the fark part of the equation.

I understand the need for liters to find alternate sources if the article they want to submit has already been redlit (although I suspect this isn't even usually the case), but when any article with a blog click through is posted, half the thread is people biatching about it, and that's not good for fark. I'm not saying this is gonna make me stop visiting fark or anything dramatic like that, but something needs to be done.

I used to pilot an experimental stealth tank that used state of the art light refraction technology to render itself undetectable to the naked eye. It also used a one of a kind cannon to fire top secret rebounding ammunition in order to destroy targets under deep cover.

Hopefully, my alias will protect me from posting this classified aerial shot taken during one of our test sessions.

Looked for one tank in particular... left happy.

That's not a tank battle game.

THIS is a tank battle game.

And holy shiat, apparently there's a simulator!

having never seen that before I'm now convinced the Russians will one day bring us the Emperor of Man.

I was wondering what "Land" was in Russian.

Uncle_Slacker		2012-05-08 01:38:19 PM

What? No dummy tanks? I love the inflatable tanks.

Because they stopped at the First World War. Ratte has nothing on the Landkreuzer P.1500 Monster though.

I looked for diagrams of it, but couldn't find anything except mislabeled Ratte renditions(Monster had 1 gun, the train cannon, everything I see has a dual gun configuration, which is the Ratte). But, yes, the Monster is ridiculous and the rounds are as large as a tank.

KarmicDisaster		2012-05-08 03:12:46 PM

Link to the actual article, everything on Neatorama is stolen from somewhere else.

Coelacanth		2012-05-08 04:12:42 PM

No OGRES?

prjindigo		2012-05-08 06:33:30 PM

Yet if any of US link to a site that is just a link to another site, we get in trouble... mmmhmmm.

Hey, what about the KV-IV Behemoth?

Subtle_Canary		2012-05-09 11:04:33 AM

Makes you wonder what any army would have done with a tank the size of the Ratte or Landcruiser. Its too large to cross any bridge and the groundpressure combined with its weight and engine power would have made snorkling anything but solid rock bottom rivers impossible once the vehicles tracks sank 3 inches or more into the mud.

basically they would have been slightly less mobile Maginot Lines.

Montgomery would have gotten destroyed by them, Patton would have maybe taken out the treads and run right by them

That's not a tank battle game, that's just the training tutorial for Stellar 7.
