There were 3 FV4005's ever built (1 FV4005 Stage 1, 2 FV4005 Stage 2's) but only 1 was ever reassembled using a Centurion Mk12 hull, and sat as a gate guard, a static vehicle since 2008, but come Tank Fest later this year, it will be ready to be shown off, where it will look as it did when it was first built, and most importantly, it will be operational, driving under its own power for the first time on 70 years.

Hi

3:30 I'm somewhat of a dozer/tractor enthusiast, and I have never seen - in picture or in person - a Cat D8 of any model with a raised front wheel. Tracks on tractors are all about getting the maximum amount of track in contact with the ground. Either they had a D8 variant in New Zealand that I have never heard of, or they somehow modified the tracks by lifting the front wheel. Anybody with more information, please enlighten me.

If you thought an angled tiger 1 was scary... wait till you see an angled maus

Have a great day everyone

A solider with a shoulder launched rocket or a drone can knock out a tank. Trade off is the solider/drone isn't armored, and the tank is.

I'm not sure if anyone here has played "Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge". I wonder if the Allied Battle Fortress from that same game was developed -- in concept -- from the Bob Semple Tank. If you look at the model of the Battle Fortress: particularly the position of its gun ports, they seem strikingly similar to that of the gun positions on the Bob Semple Tank. But this is a completely superficial observation on my part: no research, just a mere spectacle of curiosity; I'm just curious if anyone notices the similarity, like I do.

While I did watch GreenElf with RA2 units firefight, that one specifically I haven't. Also, still have the game around and playing the modded version. In real life, there's no Soviet Warminer equivalent of 'armed mining vehicle' but you could argue that there are things like utility vehicles like trucks & transport helicopters have MG as self-defense/infantry support.
