With 11 upvotes, the FV4007 Centurion has taken first place for day 3. Which tank shall win the D-spot for day 4?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Short History:

Developed during World War Two, but arriving in Europe only a few weeks after V-E day, the Centurion proved itself a competent armoured fighting vehicle in the battlefields of Korea, India, and Vietnam. Known to many as the first main battle tank ever developed, the Centurion saw widespread in dozens of armies, from Australia and Singapore, throughout the 20th century.

Alas for the Centurion, the rise of new tanks desgins like T-72s, Leopards, and in its home country, the Chieftain, meant that there was no longer a place for it in many militaries, and usage of it was slowly phased out.

Rules (For those who are just joining):

-Every day corresponds to a different letter of the alphabet, and people suggest tanks that begin with that letter (Today is day 3, so we are selecting for letter C).

-Either the official designation (M4A1) or official nickname (Sherman) can be used. However, to keep things fresh, no duplicates will be allowed.

-Highest upvoted comment wins, and of course, only tanks will be allowed.

Happy Hunting!

What is you guys' favourite tank games? It would be interesting to see. (picture unrelated)

Now live on Kickstarter (link in bio) - Drive your tank like the real thing!

I find his videos to be entertaining, while also informative. Of course he has a bias, but what's your take?

I Made this in Photopea. I Put an ENA so People can clearly know I created this meme

Hey everybody,

I'm doing a memory study for my PhD. I uploaded the Recruitment flyer to G Drive if you are curious about the details. The short is I need current and prior Army and Marines for a memory study. O, WO, E and any rank to include troop that just finished AIT and are waiting for the bus to go to their first duty station.

So you know I'm not some random jerk off the street, I was active army medical stationed at WRAMC and did the initial push into Iraq with a reserve unit out of Boston. Then I switched to EOD in the Guard and did 3rd Army Iraq/Kuwait/Qatar with the Florida and California units. I am a jerk, but not a random one off the street.

I'm also going to warn you this isn't one of those where you say something is "like me" or "not like me." You have to pay attention, there are timers, it's a bunch of test questions. I had to do it a bunch of times trying to debug it and I was ready to kill the creator...me.

But I do honestly think that what I am doing as relevant to the future force. Everything is anonymous so I can't say if you did good or bad, but you can email me at the end if you want to know the answers. As an additional favor, if you can think of anyone else that is/was Army or Marines to include that guy you know that got an admin separation just after finishing AIT, I kinda want as much of everybody as I can; so, shoot them the Recruitment flyer link.

The link for the study is in the flyer and for legal reasons I need you to read it but if it gives you any issues the link to the study is

Domain Specific Loftus Style Misinformation Paradigm

And I know Soldiers and Marines never sign anything without reading first, right?

All jokes aside, thanks for putting up with me whether you participate or not.

Thanks in advance.

A newly restored Vickers Light Tank Mk.VI spotted in the early hours. It’s sporting markings of what I think is the 2nd Infantry Division

Not sure if this counts as a meme but here goes

Rules:
-Every day, people can suggest a tank that starts with a letter corresponding to the day of the challenge (EX: Day 1, voting for letter A, like Abrams, A7V. Day 2, voting for letter B, like Bob Semple)

-Highest upvoted comment wins

-Can use official designation (M4A1) or official nickname (Sherman). However, to keep things fresh, no duplicates will be allowed.

Happy hunting!

Went there couple of days ago, the sheer size of this beast is awe inspiring. Hope they will soon finish fixing it so it can drive.

Definitely recommend going there and buying stuff to support the museum which is operated and funded by volunteers and donations.

Edit: excuse the mistake it is the Swiss Military Museum Full.
