German engineering at its finest

Yeah, where can I get some of those mugs? And some of that beer?

Take me to the Gasthaus

Ever notice how the Leopard II looks a whole lot like a Tiger??

I don't suppose this applies to everyone (I presume adverts and the like are region-specific) but before I got to the clip I had to watch an advert for a knitting magazine. And not one that I could skip after five seconds, either.

I rather imagine that if you were to draw a venn diagram of those interested in both knitting and German tanks, the intersection would be small. But I would NOT like to meet anyone who fitted in there.

Gotta love it. Everybody thinks us Germans are so serious. We just have a different sense of humor.

I think that's the Leopard 2 A4 version. Yeah, the gun mantlet does make it look like a Tiger I. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Leopard_2A4_Austria_4.JPG

Then they went and added the extra armor on the turret front of the 2A5- and created a shot trap. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/24/Leopard_2_A5_der_Bundeswehr.jpg
If I was an enemy gunner, I'd be targeting that spot with regular AP. With luck, you'll jam the turret ring, or maybe penetrate the deck armor and mess with the crew.

Mine Gott!

And it is, too Jesus, how do they come up with this stuff, and accurate no less?

Its hard to say, Nacht, they are all clad in Chobham Armour, so the shot trap thing may be less of a factor. The 2A4 with the upgrade package is a lot more M-1 like

Clever but I'll stick with the traditional manner for getting beer around in Germany.

And think of the shape those ladies in too
That's 1 litre a mug say, plus the mug, and they carrying sometimes a dozen of them...
yikes

Methinks that would make for a pretty mean uppercut.
