They really changed the looks of the turret, it looks bloated and sharpened... I don't know whether I like it or not. Hmmm... ;7 ;7 ;7

I want one!!!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

That's a really good tank.

It's always interesting to see what a little democracy and free enterprise gets you in comparison to a little oppression and poverty.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

And from the page devoted to its predecessor, the Merkava Mk. 3, we have.... Super-Merkava!

I'd like that mesh on my HD :D ( see bottom of the page ;) )
Killmenow talked to me about a new US tank that looks nothing like current ones, I'd like to get a look at it, but seeing he couldn't tell me anything other than what I just said ( no name, nothing ), I couldn't find anything :(.

For the turret, I prefer the one of the mk3 to be honest.
SCREW CANON!

Get on ICQ then. I made a mesh of the Mk. 3 for Renegade, but I don't know how to import it. :)

Most tanks are actually suprisingly fast, recent models do about 60mph.

Some are even faster, Pete. You can push some US tanks up to about 90mph (faster if you gut them).

Sandwich, that's a sweet tank.

Sort of. Whilst working as a cable guy, I've been avoiding the computer. But now that I work for Cisco, I'll probably be around a lot more. ;)

I still prefer this tank, even though it would be massacred by any of the Merkavas:

Interestingly enought, this exact tank was apparently used against Israel by Syria, and captured at the Golan Heights.

Was gonna ask what tank that was, but when I quoted your post, I saw the address.... a Panzer, eh? Looks eerily similar to the Sherman.
