So I want to open a retro video game store when I'm older and do you guys have any tips? Like should I start with collecting games and inventory for the future or what.

Now I got some nice consoles I got the Xbox 360, Wii and Switch OLED and I have only 2 games right now those being Mario party 8 for the Wii ( it's CIB) and Luigi's Mansion 3 ( also CIB) and last but not least Destiny for the Xbox 360 ( Is also CIB). And what other games should I collect for my journey?

I drove through the Woodville, Ohio area near the Speed Trap Diner a while back and saw a tall concrete tower in the woods that looked almost exactly like an air traffic control tower. It wasn't near an airport. Does anyone know what it is? Here's a tower that looked very identical to what I saw.

Why did the cost of vehicles in War thunder mobile go down after gaijin added tier 14?

For example the M1 Abrams before the tier was added was 1 million silver lions. But now the M1 Abrams costs 890,000 silver lions. Why is this?

Could my SPAA consept work?

HAV-35 Spec's

  1. Platform & Mobility Performance

Chassis Architecture: Modified heavy main battle tank hull platform, optimized for high-mass turret stabilization.

Powerplant: Heavy-duty 900 horsepower V10 Multi-Fuel Diesel Engine.

Drivetrain & Transmission: High-torque mechanical transmission with reinforced low-end gear ratios designed to maximize torque over speed.

Mobility Metrics:

Power-to-Weight Ratio: \sim 19.5\text{ hp/ton} (based on a 46-metric-ton combat loadout).

Maximum Sustained Road Speed: 56–60 km/h (35–37 mph).

Cross-Country / Tactical Speed: 35–40 km/h (22–25 mph).

Maximum Operational Range: High fuel efficiency compared to turbine alternatives, allowing for extended deep-theater deployment without heavy logistics support.

  1. Turret Geometry & Primary Firepower

Turret Type: Enclosed, high-volume geometric sloped Box Turret. Designed specifically with flat, angular faces to accommodate advanced applique armor matrices while maximizing internal volume for quad-feed ammunition chutes.

Primary Armament: 4 × 35mm High-Velocity Autocannons in a synchronous quad-mount configuration.

Combined Cyclic Rate of Fire: 2,200 rounds per minute (550 RPM per barrel).

Ammunition Logistics: Dual-feed automated belt system for instant ammunition shifting between:

APDS (Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot): Kinetic penetrators designed to defeat armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. Capable of piercing 90–120mm of Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA) at 1,000 meters.

API-T (Armor-Piercing Incendiary Tracer): Utilized for structural demolition, visual fire correction, and heavy anti-fortification clearing.

  1. Secondary Weapons & Tactical Defense Envelope

Close-In Weapons Station (CIWS): 1 × AGS-40 Balkan 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher mounted on a remote weapon station (RWS). Fires 40mm caseless HE-FRAG ammunition at 400 RPM out to 2,500 meters to clear trenches and defile positions.

Missile Array: 4 × Fire-and-forget short-range infrared-homing surface-to-air missiles (SAM) mounted in a sealed side-pod to engage high-altitude air targets beyond autocannon reach.

  1. Ballistic Protection Matrix (The Defense Suite)

Hull Protection: Deep multi-layered composite matrix reinforced with Kontakt-5 heavy Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) across the frontal glacis plate.

Turret Armor Composition:

Structural Base: Sloped Aluminum-Magnesium (AlMg) alloy plating to maintain low overall turret weight and preserve the 900 hp engine's performance.

Applique Facing: 80mm Composite Screens flush-mounted on the frontal cheeks and sides to disrupt kinetic and chemical energy paths.

Interior Layering: Integrated NERA (Non-Explosive Reactive Armor) sandwich arrays. Uses compressed elastomeric cores that expand upon impact, shearing and snapping incoming APFSDS (kinetic dart) rods and diffusing HEAT jet streams.

  1. Sensor & Electronic Warfare Suite

Fire Control System (FCS): Computerized ballistic core utilizing a multi-channel optical/thermal tracker. Features automated lead calculation and predictive arcing for the AGS-40 grenade launcher.

Target Acquisition: Rear-mounted X-band 360-degree search radar paired with a localized Ka-band tracking radar for target cueing.

Laser Warning System (LWS): Quad-corner AN/VVR-4 LWS sensor matrix. Automatically flashes threat vectors to the crew cabin upon detection of laser designators and triggers integrated multi-spectral aerosol smoke dischargers to break enemy targeting locks

What's your favorite experimental tank?

My favorites are:

#1 M60-2000 (120S) I love the look of throwing a massive Abrams turret onto an old M60 hull

#2 Object 120 The ultimate glass cannon sniper. It has barely any armor, but that 152.4mm gun barrel is over 9 meters long and designed to delete targets from miles away.

#3 Object 211 A super cool Chinese amphibious prototype. It’s a lightning-fast, lightweight flanker that packs an 85mm cannon and can literally swim across rivers.

What's your favorite modern day Tank?

My 3 Favorite modern day tanks is

#1 Challenger 2 (2F) because of its firepower.

#2 T-90A despite it's turret being vulnerable to blowing up because of its carousel autoloader it has great armor.

#3 M3 Bradley I just like it's TOW missiles.

What's yours?

What tanks should we bring back from the dead to modernize?

I think we should bring the T-55 back and modernize it with Kontakt-1 and add slat armor to it. We could also put LWS (Laser Warning System) on this. And for the main gun we can use the 105 mm Royal ordnance L7. What do you think of this build and could it work?

Was the T-10A Already Obsolete When It Entered Service?

Do you think the T-10A was the peak of the Soviet heavy tank concept, or was it already obsolete by the time it entered service because anti-tank ammunition had advanced so quickly?
