Community Discussion/Checkup
Repost since first post was poorly timed. Sorry.
As in the title. This is my mostly impromtu checkup on you guys. You guys run this server truthfully. I just make sure it happens at least to the best of my abilities.
Please understand that my presence here is often seldom and limited. Your reports are what makes it to my notifications which is where i stop and check in. Some of you might know, most dont, but im a active duty soldier. Meaning i dont have the time, care, nor willingness to no-life this sub and reddit as a whole. You know, like those basement-dwelling mods with god complexes. With that being said Im here once more asking for your opinions and insights to the community. This is your guys show im just here to enjoy the show and occasionally pull a ban lever.
Is there anything you guys would like to see added (rules, flairs, events, etc) or things you guys wished would be removed? Or anything you would like me to be aware of? I will check this periodically.
Also Happy Thanksgiving my fellow tankers!

How does the suspension/hydraulic system of the Type 10/K2 work?
The cool thing about the Type 10 and the K2 is that they can rise or lower their "posture". However, there isn't much literature around this. How does the suspension/hydraulic system of the Type 10/K2 work?

Could the m103 fire other 120mm projectiles?
Since the m103 had 2 piece ammunition, could you take a penetrator like the apfsds round m829 and put it in the cannon with the charge from the m103. Could it hypothetically work?

What are these type of tracks called? The two squares skewered on two pins? Found on the HVSS Sherman, the M48 and M60, Abrams, Leopard, and pretty much most tanks? I can't find the actual name of the track type

could a SPAAG like the Gepard be used in an anti-infantry/light vehicle role if necessary?
hypothetically, if an SPAAG like the Gepard was in a situation with only infantry support, could it engage and destroy light vehicles like BMPs? essentially, could it be used as an IFV?

Got to see this tank get offloaded at a local museum here in Canada. It is one of two models. Which do you think it is? How do you know?

Anti-drone active protection systems?
Drones have destroyed several thousand tanks and other armored vehicles in the Russo-Ukraine war.
Most of these are small civilian drones carrying an explosive package. How hard would it be to create an active protection system to shoot these things down?
Even a foot soldier who is skilled with a shotgun could shoot one down just like they would skeet pucks.
I was thinking about an autonomously-operated heavy (buckshot) shotgun turret mounted onto the top of a tank that can detect and shoot down these drones from a fair distance.

I can't find a tank game that i used to play around 2009
Looking for an old tank game that I used to play when I was little, it was around 2009, and this game was installed on just one computer in my local internet cafe, it's kinda hidden in the folders, but I could find it from files. The design was kinda cartoony. The game was top-down looking, arena-based, and very similar to Bomberman. Tanks can get some power-ups, like rocket launchers, and laser beams. Rocket launcher was my favorite, if I get that power-up weapons, the tank design will change. I clearly remember that snowy map. Please help, searching through the internet for 3 days.
I uploaded some similar-looking game photos, those three are closest to my imagination.
