Too overspecialized. Great on mud but terrible on and to roads.
>too over specialized
How can you have too much of too much of something
Try driving that thing on a road or up a hill, dumbass.
because they are huge and slow or vulnerable.
why DID screw propelled vehicles never BECOME popular
Is it always the same ESL retard who makes these threads? This is beginning to grate on my nerves.
ESL here, shouldn't it be "have"?
It's have if you're wondering why they aren't popular RIGHT NOW, while it's "did" if you're just wondering in general why they failed to become popular in the past.
Ah, got it. Thanks!
It could be 'have'. As
says, did is past tense, but have would also be correct as it includes the past up to the present. e.g. why did the ancient Romans pour their shit on the streets vs why have the Indians never learned to shit on a toilet, in the first did is purely past tense, I. In the second have indicates the statement is about both the past and present. There's a name for this tense but as a native speaker I've never had to worry about it after grade school. Imperfect tense maybe?
It's how Indian ESLs talk.
Yeah, same. It's fucking irritating.
Huh. I noticed they're all making the same sort of grammatical mistakes but haven't been able to narrow it down to a country.
Clear it up for us OP,
. You a Pajeet?
could just be a bad autocorrect, seetheberg. people never used to spin out about typos, nowadays spergs think theyve cracked a code on some boogeyman being behind every shit thread, in spite of this being a website made from day one for underage anime-watching dropouts; which isnt a demographic known for thier broad vocab and high literacy.
You're a newhomosexual, newhomosexual. Back in the old days, outside of /b/, having shitty spelling and grammar, lack of punctuation, etc., would get you bullied off the site (or back to /b/) and this helped keep the quality of the site up immensely. One of the few good things about modern PrepHole is that we're finally bringing back shitting on people with shitty spelling and grammar - because they're universally the worst posters.
My brain auto-corrects ESLspeak for me. I didn't even notice the problem in the OP until you pointed it out.
Get gud homosexual.
>POV: OP is third world poster without any paved roads
For that 8x8 AFVs are faster and cheaper to operate than tracked vehicles
because they are retarded and can be replaced by normal Amphibious vehicles
the screw gets fucked up on hard terrain, can't go on roads, only works on mud, snow, water
the Screws were not compatible with the road. doing repairs because of ballistically induced apertures is difficult and would require either wielding or to remove the screw. they have a speed range, which is like 35mph cap and cannot go faster if you try you will damage the screws.
MTLB is all a mechanized force needs.
The do anything, go anywhere vehicle.
If you ignore the asbestos, it IS an off-road dream.
I’m having nightmares of all the times me and my brother got stuck mudding, that is some thick soup right there.
driest ukrainian field
That is some absolute shit slurry, holy cow. I’d unironically rather deal with arctic bullshit ops than get deployed to that.
Imagine throwing a track in that.
They wouldn't make you change it insitu , right?
>all you need
>Laughs in real armor, track propulsion AND water jets
>looses all forward momentum
>starts sinking
>keeps going forward in to the mud field
>doesnt immediately backup
what are these retards doing

Literally ploughing ahead. You don't get it, behind them is *freshly churned* mud. There is no going back. East of the Carpathians, during some parts of the year, you never stop sinking. You either go forward or are never seen again and the rich Ukrainian soil becomes slightly more fertile. Infact, it is a common ritual execution method.
The area I live in used to be Marsh land for tens of miles, the city was actually known as 'the Isle' since it was one of the few bits of solid ground.
Getting heavy vehicles biggest down off road happens all the time, I've even seen tractors with caterpillar tracks sink meters into the mud. People say there's no 'bottom to it' its just thousands of years of settled silt.
They know exactly what they're doing.
The cheeky grins from them is due to the fact they're there to help unbog the vehicle the cameraguy is in.
Winning
I guess amphibious vehicles weren't a mistake after all.
>do anything
Except protect their crew.
Because it was iffy in the watter and shitty on land. Mud just wasn't common enough to make a dedicated mud vehicle.
if it breaks down, you're screwed
Carlos
The project was screwed from the start
>Screw-Amphibian
Why yes, I think I will.
>Lae'zelchads rise up
gigantic fuel consumption, damage to the chassis on solid objects and objects that can get tangled in the chassis of the vehicle, slow and will require a very complex suspension for comfortable movement on a solid road
Wouldn't omniwheel attachments be enough to make screws work on flat terrain?
Now put rocket boosters, and a hovercraft trailer with an ICBM on it
Too silly!
Should have been an accessory to normal wheeled vehicles.
Not a stand alone thing, it’s too niche.
Can't believe none of you newfag tourists haven't posted the chimera tank from FO3.
Dafuq wrong with you people?
fo3 is a trash game for retards that love sucking bethesda cock
Everyone, even my friends love FO3, but I literally found it one of the most boring experiences in my life back then.
All bethsoft games need significant modding to make gameplay enjoyable as they equate progression to tedium.
Newfags be salty bitches
Was thinking of this too, they actually make sense for Alaska because no roads and tons of snow and mud
I can only image that the maintenance on the transfer gearing in this is hellacious
?t=708
1 RPG-7 and your screw is fucked
And one RPG-7 dropped from above and your tank is also fucked.
It ruins soil and the auger on any surface except the swamp. Soviets used with a truck that moved this meme to swamps
