Ironsight 1 Posted April 21, 2007 It's probably French, that's how far I get... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted April 21, 2007 I did a search for "the worst idea ever" and didn't get any hits either... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted April 21, 2007 Tried "shitbox" - no such luck. "Toilet with treads" didn't get any either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johannes 10 Posted April 22, 2007 easy one its a Whippet Mk A used by the brits during the late first World War. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted April 22, 2007 correct - I chose a fairly easy one to try and get the thread sparked into life again - no point posting a tough one and watch the silence that follows. Your turn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johannes 10 Posted April 22, 2007 didnt find anything difficult: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted April 22, 2007 I'd say it's a prototype of the Bradley but the non-M-series lights on the back make me think otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted April 22, 2007 well, i recognise that shield on the back of it with the white cross - same as you find on the german leopards - although this obviously isn't a leopard - just trying to find other german tanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sc@tterbrain 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Not a strong guess but... ASCOD AIFV? Not german...but close as I can find... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adamicz 3 Posted April 23, 2007 To me, it looks like some extended version of Austrian Ulan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johannes 10 Posted April 23, 2007 Nothing is close Hint: its from germany Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted April 23, 2007 lol, I already figured it was from germany, as I said in my previous post - the shield with the white cross on the rear makes that an easy observation. the picture appears to be, say, 1970-1980's in age - weapons are G3's rather than G36's - can't seem to find alot of german armour from that period - 90% of the hits for anything with german & tank/armour in google returns WW2 (not surprisingly). A question would be whether it ever entered service or was an experimental/test bed vehicle (I'm currently exploring the latter) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johannes 10 Posted April 23, 2007 A question would be whether it ever entered service or was an experimental/test bed vehicle (I'm currently exploring the latter) it never entered service due to political changes and some other reasons. Enough hints for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackScorpion 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Marder 2 prototype. Or VT-001, dunno if that's the prototype number or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
