Interesting stuff. It seems you can now get paid to be a real autoduelist.
Not sure if I would want to...  :rolleyes:

Neat stuff...not too much different than the "Technicals" the arabs have been using for 20 years tho...modified Toyota pick ups with everything from MG's to Rocket launchers...cheaper than tanks ;)

yet TC have you seen some of america's modern tanks? capable of shooting a mile a way with precise hits going about 40+ (usually 60+) and the reload time is about 7 seconds? also able to do the same at night time, itll also auto-move the turret to correspond witht he target as the tank moves so lets say the turret is aiming at an enemy in front of the tank adn the tank is also point that way, well the tank then moves to the left and goes about 40 mph the uttret will stay on target at a constant :D

well the big problem with real combat footage is that they never are of really good quality..so it's kinda hard to make just what is going on...but there is a few classic moments in the video...the main thing i got out of it was how the tanks didn't slow down for anything :stare: what ever the lead missed #2 was after it, guess they had a schedule to meet :p
