After a close vote, the ground pounders won out. Let's see those armored vehicles in a nice widescreen format with some space to the left for the site logo.

Specs: 920x322
Deadline: 7/27/2011 23:59PDT

Good luck boys!

alright, an easy one. I got some stuff to work with and it shouldn't be hard. I bet Rick wins though.

P.S are the treads on the Patriot Grizzly real? or are they fucking fake and fail like so many other toy tanks?

 

[pcsguy88]

Sheesh, Rick wins one contest and now he's the boy to beat? You hear that Red? What about you Falcon C? Hun?

Bring it bitches because my armor will be rolling right beside yours and mine run on real treads.

1:16 doesn't count pcs.

lance, I only have a couple pieces of armor, this is going to be a tough one

 

[Fled74]

I have a couple of AFVs - I might give this a go.

Boy, we are all shit outta luck then. Guess we'll have to start using Ourwar and Star Wars figures and toss our 4" 1:16 Joes in the trash.

Ppffft, photoshopped fire. Bring the real deal or don't bring it! None of that fake crap better get on a banner!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

democracy here is it not

 

[K-Tiger]

I still don't see how armor won. Must be a bunch of Democrats running the polls!

Or Floridians voting, and missing the right candidate.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

democracy here is it not

You must have missed the secret vote against it.

I still wish heli's won but I'm still going to run away with this theme. I just destroyed a homeless camp so I have a good spot to do some shots. I'm that dedicated!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

do a helo one if you want and put a tank in the background...i proved it can be done

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Nah, I got a few different ideas for the armor. I'll make it happen. I have all the elements covered so if I can't figure something I should probably step in front of a bus. I don't want to fill too much of the screen up and any ideas I have with the bird will do that. Plus, I have to figure on resizing since the banner cuts so much off. So much work!

 

[Wild weasel]

you proved it can be done and not work, the dog tags and logo would have left just a picture of your carpet...or stealth heli and tank

Oh snap!! I think we need a dance off to determine who's right.

 

[Wild weasel]

I just fell through my glass table trying that. ^^^

 

[lancelot]

Helicopters can suck it. Tanks rule! and nobody told me if the Grizzly had real treads or not! I bet it doesn't because Hasbro made it back in 2002 or 2003 or something. It should get a re-release with retooling for real treads.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

BRING IT!!!

NO U! "VOMP VOMP VOMP CRASH!" Oh how helpful a lightly armored piece of flying crap that is taken down by bullets and crashes when it gets to close to the ground or a building. At least when a tank get's hit by an RPG it doesn't crash, kill all aboard, and start an international incident. Armor rules and you know it

 

[K-Tiger]

Right, when you start killing aerial targets from miles out then you can come talk shit to me. Ask that Challenger 2 driver missing a foot how awesome tanks are against RPGs.


You tank guys are heading the way of massed volley-fire infantry. Your hey-day was 65 years ago.

t-34's were always over rated, and armor has developed since then. People can get new legs that are better than real feet. If my legs got blown off or cut off or something I'd replace them with Ipods, maybe get some hydraulics in that shit and be pimp'in at street hoops, the future is now. Ask The pilots of black hawks over Somalia how awesome that was, oh wait you can't because they died! Helicopters are just slow and obvious targets for planes, ships, tanks, and infantry and anything else that won't put up with that shit. It's a fucking Miracle we killed Osama Bin Laden, and guess what the knew secret stealth plane still crashed!

Fuck Helicopters armor is awesome. Unless you drive it into the Euphrates or Tigres river.

I know an EX-spec ops guy who was with the group of guys that raided
OBL and trust me, it was by no means a miracle we got him. These are some tough well trained dudes. You can't stop a mechanical problem from happening(tanks have them too). Also, tanks aren't seeing combat the helis are.

But of course, thats just my 2 cents, so its cool with me if you disagree, but I'd rather be in the air

I was speaking mechanically and not really referring to the human aspect of it. I'll simply say to each their own since I feel the line between dark humor and aggressive argument may become morphed into this weird cavalcade of stress and malcontent.

Also, the Canadians have style, I saw a video of their German made Leopard 2's in Afghanistan and they have these funny umbrella's on them. I understand the function of them to keep the commander and friends cool when they aren't in the tank but it makes the tank look funny, like a rolling martini on tracks.

 

[Wild weasel]

goota go look up that vid, goota see that.

 

[lancelot]

here's the video. I lol'd hard when the Leopards rolled out with the epic Matrix music was playing and these dinky looking umbrellas were on top of them.

Prepare yourself, CAN YOUR HEART WITH STAND THE ACTION OF DIGGING DIRT?!

 

[Wild weasel]

Thats odd looking! Even with the umbrella the leopard looks awesome!

 

[pcsguy88]

Panzer ftw!

no love for the coolest(and best) tank of all time?

[K-Tiger]

Best tank? Maybe for the highly specialized urban operations it was designed for, but there are a tanks out there that would shred Merkava IVs in tank-on-tank engagements.

I like the Merk and all, but let's be realistic.
