If I said I have no idea who warriortard is, would you believe me?
I would, but I'd also call you a newbie
Your threads have been deleted, that's enough for today, stop now.
Get a life bongboi
>warriortards 13th thread of the day
care to explain? I keep hearing you guys mentioning this name
I think it's one of those things where the same person argues with himself. Same thing happens in poorgay generals.
Hope this helps:
>warriortard is a schizo and lolcow who seethes endlessly over brits and tries to make americans to make look obnoxious
>made an unhealthy amount of threads about the Warrior APC, this is why he's called warriortard
>spends all day on /k/ and spergs around
>nobody really likes this schizo and his threads regulary get called out and deleted.
>so he goes to other threads and accuses other anons to be him to get bystanders and newbies against his enemies
This is him
This is a harmless meme thread, how does it relate to your imagined abuser?
how much do you pay for your VPN?
>This is a harmless meme thread
Correct, but you know that, warriortard.
>how does it relate to your imagined abuser?
Still pretending you aren't real? That's a bit schizo.
And to answer your self serving implying question, let me just quote a part of the post you acted like it didn't exist:
>so he goes to other threads and accuses other anons to be him to get bystanders and newbies against his enemies
>Seek help anon, you have been posting about this warriortard for the last 3 years on /k/. Please get some help anon.
He says, replying to one of warriortards false flags.
I’ve smoked a joint in a Strv103
Idk who tf ‘warriortard’ is only that there’s some sperg endlessly screeching about him on here.
>Idk who tf ‘warriortard’ is only that there’s some sperg endlessly screeching about him on here.
It's honestly more annoying than warriortard himself. Any thread about UK gear becomes insufferable in the first 10 posts.
Same thing with the piss sheets guy on poorgay generals. It's got to by the same person arguing with himself the entire thread. Absolutely ruins it.
>some sperg endlessly screeching about him
Ah, warriortard-tard
it's probably all just 1 schizo arguing with himself.
>t. falseflagging warriortard
You know you shit up threads worse than warriortard, right?
Nta, but stop feeding trolls and warriortard you's.
I wish America made moronic shit like everyone else. Imagine the crazy designs that would come out with a near endless budget.

OPs tank doesn't look dumb
who is this warriortard and how does he differ from armatard i heard so much about 5 years or so ago
rent free
>And then suddenly wariortard.
Better at being worse absolutely, but what a weird thing to bring up
Only kind of true in modern armored warfare. Angling gives effective thickness but not by much with respect to modern munitions, and you aren't going to bounce a dart which is where angled armor truly shines. Best you can do is shatter it, which happens at around 80° angle of incidence if I recall, which is what you tend to see where slopes are employed as part of the armor scheme, like the 103
I read somewhere that this thing was supposed to be used just like a regular tank but I just can't warp it around my head.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use it in pre prepared firing positions to plonk away at hordes of Soviet tanks before fricking off?
The USSR wasn't experted to be kind enough to just have a run at the front, but to attack in depth. So when you try to retreat, there's already enemy forces where you want to retreat too. And if you're really unlucky they'll hit you in the back before you even get to shoot the ones coming at you form the front.
So instead you go for defence in depth, and this was a task primarily given to the infantry units (though they had various AFV embedded amongst them). Once they had blunted the enemy assault the armoured units (whether equipped with Strv103 or Centurions) were to counterattack. This will also allow you to actually exploit any opportunities that come your way, and will keep the enemy honest since he no longer fully controls when and where the fighting happens.
Yeah basically it was meant to be like
>be proceeding to the west
>suddenly tanks to the south west
>they are wedges, ignore your BMP/BTR fire, ignore some of your tank fire, and they instakill anything they hit
>hopefully you figure this out and come up with a plan before they ambush you btw hahaha you have 3 seconds
High risk high reward basically.
Strv 103 also takes advantage of the hideously shit Swedish terrain, which extends for 1600km from north-south. Unless the Soviets could have landed a sizable force in mainland Sweden they'd have to fight through all of pic related against well-disguised, low-profile tanks that will basically just ambush them at any incline in the treeline.
The roads they'd be fighting over would be much shitter in the 80s when all the total defense ideas were coming to fruition, too. So it's not like today where the warfare would be much higher speed (even if it, in theory, would work out similarly but with a massive tech edge)
Same reason why CV90s don't have ATGMs originally, cause they are better spared for infantry that can just endlessly ambush through the woods. And in winter they can just endlessly motti enemy vehicles on skis.
In different parts they'd also have to contend with lots of pic related, and hills.
And then there's the several rivers in the way slowing them down every more. It just compounds endlessly.
Since the Soviet navy was shit, their best avenue of attack (across the sea, toward Stockholm or so and then toward Gothenburg and the rest of Southern Sweden) would be endlessly hampered by Viggens or Drakens flying in the danger zone over the water just to kill their ships. And there were hundreds of those, so the prospects for an invasion were always terrible.
tanks are only good at oppressing the tax slaves. they have 0 usefulness in modern wars.
Armour simulations make this thing seem ridiculously effective, considering how thin the armour is. Its only ~40mm

>>What if we made the whole tank a slope?
That's funnier than you realize. You win the chairman's approval!
Imagine trying to act like warriortard isn't real after he shat up the board almost daily for about two years. Just fricking imagine.

*pulls handbrake*
If the Stridsvagn's a rockin' don't come a knockin'.
The only tank that can low ride to victory.
There's a few more. For example https://youtu.be/iqT-3qrvTxU?feature=shared&t=38
What if we remade it but with a 120mm M256E1 and making the armor as thick as NATO turret cheeks
I heard these things can turn to face a target really fricking fast, like as fast or faster than a traditional turret.
I used to have an RC tank when I was a kid that could go sideways like a crab, those crazy swedes should scale it up so they can have strafespamming hover tank bullshit but irl
it was made at a weird point in time when turrets still had primitive stabilizers but they unique hydraulic suspensions that could aim the whole tank quickly meant that a wedge-shaped casemate could acquire and fire at targets just as fast
/k/'s Warriortard schizo is to /gif/'s "fake 3D cum graphics" schizo, and PrepHole's Barry.
>/gif/'s "fake 3D cum graphics" schizo
But that guy is funny, and I kinda believe him.
Just imagine one of these equipped with a 120mm L/44 HHHHNNNNGGGGGG....
A lot of people think it was used in ambushes only (Which it would excel in) But it was also faster on target then turreted tanks of its eary with primitive or no stabs.
I still think we could have kept it and upgraded them all to D series to use as IKVs, maybe give it programmable 105 ammo in the style of the 3P ammo.
>I still think we could have kept it and upgraded them all to D series to use as IKVs
Yes, but actually no. The engines, drivetrains and a shitload of other components was worn out by that time after decades of beeing abused by conscripts, It just wasnt economical at that point, especially given the reductions of budget going on, and the desire to mechanize the infantry instead of keeping a load of old tanks that may still be usefull.
Warriortard isn't real.
