Crew: 15 men and one Commissar Length: 51 feet, 4 inches
Height: 15 feet, 3 inches Width: 10 feet, 10 inches
Height/tower raised: 37 feet, 8 inches Weight: 138 tons
Engine: 3 X V-2 at 600 horsepower each Max Speed: 13 mph
Max Range: 98 miles road; 43 miles cross country
Armor: 160mm maximum; 7mm minimum
Armament: 2 X 152mm; 2 X 76.2mm; 1 X 45mm; 2 X 12.7mm DShK; 2 X 7.62mm Maxim; 14 X 7.62mm DT; 16 X BM-13 Rockets; 2 X Model 1933 Flamethrowers

The first prototype was completed in December 1941 and was rushed into the defense of Moscow. In its first action during a dense winter fog, the rear turret accidentally fired into the center turret. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle.

The second prototype was completed in January 1942, and was sent to the Leningrad front. This one had indicators installed to show when another turret was in the line of fire. In its initial attack on the Germans, the tank broke in half when crossing a ravine. A spark ignited the leaking flamethrower fuel and the resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle.

The third prototype, shown here, had a reinforced hull and was also sent to the Leningrad front in early 1942. It did manage to shoot down three German aircraft. In its first ground engagement, the KV-VI was firing on German positions when coincidentally all of the guns fired from the 3 O'Clock position a the same time. The tremendous recoil tipped the tank into a ditch and the severe jostling set off the 152mm ammunition, which completely destroyed the vehicle.

After these failures, Stalin canceled the project, and many of the design team members spent the rest of their lives in the Gulags of Siberia.

Last week my family and I took a vacation to the Oregon Coast, and of course hit up the air museum there. I'm going to post the contents of the hangar in this thread.

First up is a map of all the Naval Air Stations that housed blimps on the coasts.

I saw this thing in Scottsdale while looking for a hiking trail, wtf is it? Looks like some kind of HMMWV prototype or replica? But it was in a pretty nice neighborhood so they probably could have afforded a real hummer if they'd wanted one.

Maybe a homemade H1? I know it's not the Chinese copy of the Hummer, but maybe someone wanted to make their own and customized it?

It's very peculiar, I've never seen anything like it...I know it's not the HMMWV or H1 prototype...if it's a replica it's a terrible and cheap one

I am intrigued.

Most likely some sort of armoured body on an HMMWV chassis.
No. 38210 ID: 0caec8
OP here to add some things,

I don't think it's armored, the door hinges aren't very big, and I'd think they'd have to be if it had any kind of serious armor on it.

And it isn't a HMMWV chassis, it has a solid front axle with leaf springs, if you look at the front bumper you can see the ends.

And what purpose would the huge loops on the roof serve? On real HMMWV's they have hooks so they can be picked up by helicopter and such, but why would they put them on this thing?

The front "badge" looks like it says VR?

Those are military tires however, but they're pretty cheap on the surplus market.

Project Killdodge is back on track.

I've decided to go with a more accessible design involving steel tubing frame and sheet metal body.

but I admit this is an area I know little about, so I call upon the OPERATORs of this board to assist in designing the KillDodge.

once I have a solidly designed tube body I'll be able to commission a local buggy frame builder to make it.

so here's the requirements: built for Chrysler Magnum 3.9L V6 and meant to utilize as many necessary components from the late model Dodge Dakota like seats, steering, brakes/accelerator, gauges, ect.

must have provisions for a mounted gun
must have cargo space for at least four individuals' gear.

It was a "light armored vehicle" fitted with an engine small enough to fit in a Frenchmans ass and weapons which can be carried by a fire team.
The fact that it has been brutally violated into a semi-IFV by adding more armor does not make it not-shit or relevant to the discussion.

If the Stryker is an IFV, then so is every APC with a LMG mounted on it. And if we're arguing that this is true, then the BTR-90 beats it in every category.

Or the various merits of using other subs(diesel/AIP/nuke), surface ships, land-based planes like P-3s, large helicopter carriers, or trained dolphins.

sup /v/

Technical question time.

Whenever you read about two stroke gasoline engines you also read about how they need oil mixed in the fuel since they do not have a pressurized oiling system like 4 stroke car engines. For this reason most sources will tell you two stroke engines are dirty and unsuitable for modern cars.

Now what if you built a two stroke engine in car sized displacements with separate pressurized oil system (like with modern vehicle engines and two stroke diesel eninges)?

Heres what I propose:
Two-stroke
Opposed piston/single crank (Doxford or Commer style)
Direct injection or carbureted
Separate pressurized oiling system oiling system

Would this work? (and if not why not?)

Most I can find is problems with lubrication.
from wiki
>All two-stroke engines running on a petroil mix will suffer oil-starvation if forced to turn at speed with the throttle closed, e.g. motorcycles descending long hills and perhaps when decelerating gradually from high-speed by changing down through the gears. Two-stroke cars (such as those that were popular in Eastern Europe in mid-20th century) were in particular danger and were usually fitted with freewheel mechanisms in the powertrain, allowing the engine to idle when the throttle was closed, requiring the use of the brakes in all slowing down situations.

But like you said with a separate oil system it'd probably be an okay system to use. Idk thought, I can't think of any other reason than the oil mix being a problem.
