No honey, you don't understand. This now is your tank. We floating a whole division on air. Bolt everything on these puppy's that you need and just slide b***h, slide.
it sounds like given that route, it would be much more difficult for us to switch to vehicles that can clear mines in general, than it would be for them to switch to magnetic mines
That's not what zimmerit does you mongoloid. It prevents magnetic sticky charges from adhering to the side of the vehicle, it has no effect on a magnetic trigger.
It works by creating lift, like a plane. The weight remains the same but it lifts over the ground due to air pressure differences under the skirt. Think how a low flying plane doesn't produce extra pressure on the ground beneath it. Low friction is one benefit of these.
They aren't used because:
A. Creating enough lift for heavily armored vehicles is difficult, and;
B. Skirts are more prone to be destroyed than tracks, they are delicate.
PSI for these is very low because it gets spread out over a wide area, below even anti-personnel pressures in many cases. But there are lots of ways to trigger mines so this doesn't help in all cases and other common obstacles would begin to pose massive challenges if you switched.
Not inherently, because of the dispersion. A tank's weight is all concentrated in the two tracks, while a hovercraft spreads it along the entire underside of the vehicle. I'd be more worried about it setting off anti-personnel mines, with how fragile those skirts are.
Less than 100'. The MPLC sucks shit anyways and doesn't have the ass to really clear a lane. Especially if you're worried about real mines that are lightly built or surface laid. It's just a bit of GWOT gizmo that was a nice idea but just couldn't work in practice.
APOBS, and older mclc-in-a-bag, would work better but I've only met one person who used one.
mines problem >When do you recognize superiority of German engineering?
If this is real and not some AI creation I bow to German Engineering. It is kino grimdark mechwar
It’s real, it’s called the Alkett VsKfz 617 Minenräumer. There’s one left in Kubinka.
>It’s real
This obscure, useless german vehicle is totally real and called randomnumber-germanwort.
And no, you cannot see it because... because the only specimen is hidden in some tiny russian village
why would someone just go on the internet and tell lies?

Edgy but anti tank mines typically take more than a person's weight to go off, you want them to stick around until something real heavy(aka valuable) drives over them
>The 3rd Infantry Division begins its initial operational testing on the Army’s newest tracked vehicle, the Main Battle Hover Vehicle (MBHV) today at Fort Stewart. The MBHV began product qualification testing earlier this year and 3rd Infantry Division will put the tank through live-fire exercise testing.
>The MBHV is ahead of its time, incorporating patented anti-gravity hover technology forceful enough to propel an updated M1 Abrams tank. The MBHV can execute start-up procedures within 26 seconds and reach hover speeds of 88 miles per hour within 18.5 seconds; that is a huge amount of force considering the body of the tank itself weighs in at 68 tons.
>Until this testing with 3rd ID, the development of the MBHV has been close-hold due its technology patents. Adding this vehicle to the Army’s arsenal will drastically increase the 3rd ID’s lethality by breaking up the predictability of legacy tank movements while adding new hover-pattern maneuvers to increase survivability chances during enemy engagements.
The pics are amazing, I bet it could clear small walls.
The delivery here is really perfect, making it entirely straight delivery until the last pic.
This is actually how the US would present a magic weapon. No scare video like the Russian nuke torpedo, just the same flat description of capabilities and vague phrases about "enhancing warfighting capabilities." The US could make a real Ironman,Gundam, or Death Star and the press release would be the same exact style.
>"The New S-108 Full-Spectrum Planet Suppression System (FSPSS), nicknamed the "Death Star," by its inaugural crew, fills a current gap in the US Space Forces full planet suppression and removal capabilities, and will be an important asset to help soldiers carry out their primary mission."
Would a VTOL hoover tank that could clear 100 feet count as an actual wunderwaffen?
The engineering challenge would seem to make it count, as would the new capabilities. Imagine being able to attack over fortifications, rivers, dense forest, etc. as fast as if it wasn't there.
Only problem is that, as soon as these come out, I'm sure solar powered lighter than air mines begin populating, hanging out, slowly patrolling a line, waiting to fire an EFP at any flying tanks.
>When do you recognize superiority of German engineering?
When it costs too much and when it isn't available in my country.
>solves mines problem
But you tanks, APC and trucks cant follow through.
No honey, you don't understand. This now is your tank. We floating a whole division on air. Bolt everything on these puppy's that you need and just slide b***h, slide.
Wouldn't mines with magnetic triggers still work?
Yes. But what are the russians using right now? Pressure mines mostly
it sounds like given that route, it would be much more difficult for us to switch to vehicles that can clear mines in general, than it would be for them to switch to magnetic mines
I'm honestly not sure about that one. If they had them, wouldn't they be using them allready?
if they didn't, it doesn't seem like it would take a lot of thought
putting a magnet on a mine is as old as WW2
Is That what we're worried about? Look, just give me a rocket, some C4 charges, and a really long tube sock and I'll get this cleared out.
Nah, the Germans developed Zimmerit to deal with that before it was a problem.
That's not what zimmerit does you mongoloid. It prevents magnetic sticky charges from adhering to the side of the vehicle, it has no effect on a magnetic trigger.
Zimmerit is anti-glare camo paint.
Where does the weight go?
It works by creating lift, like a plane. The weight remains the same but it lifts over the ground due to air pressure differences under the skirt. Think how a low flying plane doesn't produce extra pressure on the ground beneath it. Low friction is one benefit of these.

B. Skirts are more prone to be destroyed than tracks, they are delicate.
Anon...
I know! It's an unbelievable advance. This would stomp right through the defensive lines!
Towards the ground mostly in air currents, and would trigger mines kek.
PSI for these is very low because it gets spread out over a wide area, below even anti-personnel pressures in many cases. But there are lots of ways to trigger mines so this doesn't help in all cases and other common obstacles would begin to pose massive challenges if you switched.
Wouldn't the downward forces exerted still trigger most AT mines?
Not inherently, because of the dispersion. A tank's weight is all concentrated in the two tracks, while a hovercraft spreads it along the entire underside of the vehicle. I'd be more worried about it setting off anti-personnel mines, with how fragile those skirts are.
Ah, makes sense. I've always wondered how much it would hurt to get run over by a hovercraft.
How far does those things that fire out detcord lines to blast a path fire?
Less than 100'. The MPLC sucks shit anyways and doesn't have the ass to really clear a lane. Especially if you're worried about real mines that are lightly built or surface laid. It's just a bit of GWOT gizmo that was a nice idea but just couldn't work in practice.

Looks like a perpetuum mobile

the original troll physics.
>When do you recognize superiority of German engineering?
When it breaks down for the 10th time in a week and you have to order 4 more parts for it
They should put some MICLICs on low-profile cable-guided drones and go clear up a path 200 meters at a time.
They're saving them to use for the Abram push. First let monk panic move all his troops, then clear a new path.
Why is everyone so worried about mines? Just don't step on them.

Look, just heat me out: why not just use POWs?
Edgy but anti tank mines typically take more than a person's weight to go off, you want them to stick around until something real heavy(aka valuable) drives over them
>anti tank mines typically take more than a person's weight to go off
use american POWs
I prefer the Black person-Whipper 9000
That is the 3000 model.
Why not give them the MBHV?

Why not just use the Black person whipper 3000?
If I knew how to into art I'd draw that thing with massive fricking breasts so help me god
