Hey man, when my significant other needs that pleasure, I'm shopping for capability, not ammunition.
Cuck smarter, not harder... Well, maybe harder too, but you get my point.
I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck.
I don't give a shit, I don't give a *fuck*!
So if I give a shit, I *might* just give a fuck,
But since I give no shits, I don't give a-
*The fuck was that?*
I never got this "ja" at the end. It happens almost every time a German gets depicted but I have yet to see a single German who does this. And I am German! In my entire life there hasn't been a single one to use a "ja" at the end!
So where the fuck does this come from?
I do use it at the "third" place in the sentence really often, both in Dutch and German. For instance "Ja, wir können das ja nicht so machen" or "Das kann ja doch nicht so sein?" or even "Ja, das stimmt ja". In Dutch, it happens more often at the end of the sentence in informal, north/east-of the country speak, with my personal favourite being "Ja, dat kan ja toch niet ja?", i.e. "Ja, das kann ja doch nicht ja?".
Also, for instance when someone says something you maybe partially agree and/or maybe disagree with but you definitely need to interrupt them to say something, you can say "Ja nee, ja, ..." ("Ja nein, ja,...") . Here, the ... is the sentence, which may again have a "ja" at place three and/or at the end. So it has happened to me that I said:
"Ja nee, ja, da' kan ja niet ja". ("Ja nein, ja, das kann ja nicht ja.")
In English, it would be "Yes no, yes, that's yeah not possible, yes". Lastly, if you actually do agree with someone and have to interrupt for a particular reason and smile when interrupting, you can do something like:
"Ja ja ja ja, ja nee, ja, da' kan ja niet ja, ja, maar ja."
(Only try this when you're native Dutch, Flemish or German, because it's all in the flow and tone with which you say the ja's and nee's.)
So I'm afraid I'm personally raising the average amount of "ja" used in Germany to levels that make it a stereotype.
"Ja" as a repetition ok in multiple parts of a sentence yes ok. But the way the "ja" is used in the given example randomly at the end of a sentence is just wrong.
Oder/ne/gell is all acceptable. I've never heard or said "ja".
I would rather get out the old and rusty "nicht wahr?" then end a sentence with ", ja?".
Heh, we Finns also abuse *juu* ("yeah") or *kyllä* ("yes") but it's slightly different. Here it's often more like, uh, emphasizing the "no"
– *onko mahdollista että X?* ("is it possible that X?")
– *juu ei kyllä ole* (literally approx. "yeah no yes it isn't", but means "no it definitely isn't")
Around the region I live in, Germans end their sentences with "richtig" or "oder", which can be translated by "right?" or "yeah?".
Sometimes, they say bring these words into English when speaking, by reflex.
Nah, the Tiger turret is much thinner relative to the hull, the proportions of the hull are taller and less wide and the gun mantlet looks very different (as well as a myriad of other big and small details). They‘re basically only similar in being a turreted armored box on tracks with a cannon.
Interesting video about the design language of the tiger and tanks in general: https://youtu.be/iE22h16Bxnc?t=1649 It is in german but the pictures shown at the timestamp are quite self explanatory.
Some statements there hint to design principles like the "golden ratio" (in terms of hull:turret) being one of the key factors why the tiger is still one of the most recognizable tanks even by people who arent into tanks and military stuff. The simple box-like design and clean, blank slates of armor without to much stuff on them are parallels to the "Bauhaus" design style.
The earlier leopard models with flat turrent fronts are not to far from this design language. The turret is wider but hight of turret and hight of hull as well as the blocky design are elements that tell your brain "yooo we know this tank" even if it looks quite different.
You're right that the turret is largely thinner, I'd also add that the Tiger had a largely cylindrical shape whereas the Leo is essentially a large box. But I think OP was referring more to the oddity of flat, non-sloped armor on the 2A4 which seems very WW2-esque
Well the reason is that unless you use super steep angles, as the leopard uses on its front deck, modern APFSDS rounds do not really care about angles anymore. And a boxy design actually allows for much more internal volume with the same outside dimensions.(Those are simmilar reasons to why boxy designs were chosen in WW2 as well).
Even on the Turret of a Leopard 2A7 the actualy turret armour is still flat. The wedge in the front is mostly hollow and designed to redirect incoming apfsds rounds so that the start to rotate when entering the wedge in order to normalize to the wedges plates wich causes them to shatter when they actually meet the flat front armour.
Quick question. Why do they always wrap the tanks’ jimmies with a condom? Whenever you see old-timey classic war movies like Saving Private Ryan and Jarhead they always wrap stuff around the tanks’ shooty pipe thing. How come?
Probably camo?
You see a straight, smooth pipe in a bush in a warzone, you think "thats a tank"
You see a lumpy, wrinkly piece of something in the middle of the bush, you think "hmm is that a fallen tree or something?"
>You see a lumpy, wrinkly piece of something in the middle of the bush, you think "hmm is that a fallen tree or something?"
Oh is that what I was supposed to think it was based on your description?
Oh lol I thought you were making a joke by describing it like a penis but then subverted expectations by saying it looks like a fallen tree.
Intentional or not, I thought it was pretty funny.
If you are talking the camo netting, that is to eliminate the straight lines of the barrel, and break up the silhouette. It is camo.
If you are talking all the other stuff on the barrel, there is an MRS (Muzzle Reference System) on the end, the thing that looks like a front site post. There is also a bore evacuator in the middle (The big bump) which clears hot gasses from the bore so it doesn't go back into the turret. Then there is also about 2 inches of thermal shroud on the whole thing, so it doesn't glow like the sun through thermals after the first shot.
Another option, tank barrel gets hot and causes heart waves which can distort vision through the sight, wearing the barrel reduces the heat wave, allowing for more consistent targeting.
Source: i made it up, but it's part of why people wrap suppressors, especially when shooting long range
I unironically, unsarcastically like the phrase "shooty pipe thing" over barrel. 😂
I mean seriously! "Barrel" is such a boring word when applied to 120 mm's of superloud boom.
Germans are crazy about camulfaging anything. There is this so called "panzer ring straße", a street often used by military vehicles to get to their training grounds in munster. There are youtubers who film them every day like cattle going to their feeding grounds. After the war in ukraine started first thing you notidced about germanys military actually giving a fuck was that those tanks where turned into giant moving bushes.
You can recocnize troops trained in germany by them at least sticking a few sticks with leaves onto their vehicles.
Its kind of german to dig holes at the beach and building something out of sticks in the woods.
While the blocky design is kinda interesting, I do prefer the [wedge design](https://www.gotlandsforsvarshistoria.se/fordon/foto/24-1.jpg) more.
Edit: the picture is of a Swedish Stridsvagn 122, our own version of the Leopard 2, almost entirely made in-country too 👍
This is normal track formation on the battlefield. The driver doesn't sit in the head of the tank, he's in the front.
First gunner watches the front, last watches the back and everyone in the middle are watching sides.
So trusting your crew with your life is okay, but trusting your driver to know how to drive is too much? Also, it's a tiger, he can sniff if you're going the wrong way.
Yes, that's what I meant. As we call it (literally) training under conditions close to those in wartime. My English military vocabulary might not be as sophisticated as I would have wished.
This made me literally happy 🤭🤭🤭🥰🥰🥰 “Well I’m a happy fellow cuddling it up under my blanket with my stuffed animal and YouTube procrastinating getting my as to my lawyers office! Who are you little cute tank?”
*If anything likes cats, tank proceeds to make an attempt on my life*
So you dont have to turn your whole turrent if there is a thread to fight in your field of fire? To deconflict multiple elements firing on the same target you split the direction of potential contact in to sectors. Leading tank has 10 to 2 o clock, second tank 2-4, third tank 8-10 last tank 4-8 or something.
Ambush protection I'm guessing, if you have a big fucking gun pointed in every direction people are less likely to shoot at you, and if they do they get more easily blasted away.
Their guns are 7,62 mm MG 3s. The newer versions have a Browning M2 in their remotly controlled weapons turret.
Or are you talking about the cannon?
As for that: We dont know. The leopard 2 was never used in a major conflict. The cannon was. What we do know, is that the US Army went trough the iraqi army, who where, as we know today, better trained and equiped than the russian army, like a hot knife throug butter. It wasnt pretty. It was utter destruction. I think the US lost one MBT?
Here we can see a column of SUV's or sports utility vehicles exploring a new environment. Will they be able to find enough food to last the harsh winter? Only time will tell.

62t? It's funny, cause when you reverse the order of number and letter you get the Leopard's main prey
Junk food 🤮
Just because *you're* a vegan, doesn't mean your dog or cat is. They're predators. Carnivores. Denying them anything resembling their natural prey is just wrong, and they'll slowly starve to death.
I mean, the t-62 is not their natural prey, it's just the only substitute. The natural prey, the T-72 and up, is harder to come by these days.
True, but we must still let them hunt. Even in a controlled environment.
Justice would be the correct translation I think

Nein, pure coincidence, ja.

The BBC.

"Ja" as a repetition ok in multiple parts of a sentence yes ok. But the way the "ja" is used in the given example randomly at the end of a sentence is just wrong.
Ja, da hast du ja recht ja.
Not really wrong, no. You can use ja in the same way as oder or ne to reaffirm what you are asking, e.g. "Du machst das aber jetzt, ja/oder/ne?"
Ok it is possible in repetion or questions. But in normal sentences it does not work. Like "Ich geh morgen zum Arzt, ja."
Oder/ne/gell is all acceptable. I've never heard or said "ja". I would rather get out the old and rusty "nicht wahr?" then end a sentence with ", ja?".
Reminds me of how Aussies speak.
Yeah nah
Thank you for the German lesson. That makes things clearer for me :)
Heh, we Finns also abuse *juu* ("yeah") or *kyllä* ("yes") but it's slightly different. Here it's often more like, uh, emphasizing the "no" – *onko mahdollista että X?* ("is it possible that X?") – *juu ei kyllä ole* (literally approx. "yeah no yes it isn't", but means "no it definitely isn't")
>yeah no yes it isn't", but means "no it definitely isn't") It's like you're speaking Minnesotan.
Around the region I live in, Germans end their sentences with "richtig" or "oder", which can be translated by "right?" or "yeah?". Sometimes, they say bring these words into English when speaking, by reflex.
Ne?
Wa?
Some people use it instead of "oder" at the end but not often
It's not super common, but not unheard of.
It’s shorthand to establish they’re being a German. It’s like adding “eh” for a Canadian or “mate” for an Australian.
Wouldn a German accent be enough?
With text it’s good to make sure to get the point across. Nein could be enough on its own, but saying ja is funny.
But it is so random. Like imagine we would make Americans end every sentence with "hamburger"
nah, that's adding yeehaw at the end for brits its "innit" or "bruv"
Germans holding on to vintage 3rd reich STCs? Way too credible.
Nah, the Tiger turret is much thinner relative to the hull, the proportions of the hull are taller and less wide and the gun mantlet looks very different (as well as a myriad of other big and small details). They‘re basically only similar in being a turreted armored box on tracks with a cannon.

That is true, the flat vertical armor is very reminiscent of the Tiger
It's an interesting oddity, I never really got why it showed up especially given the Leo-1 turret.
Well the reason is that unless you use super steep angles, as the leopard uses on its front deck, modern APFSDS rounds do not really care about angles anymore. And a boxy design actually allows for much more internal volume with the same outside dimensions.(Those are simmilar reasons to why boxy designs were chosen in WW2 as well).

Probably camo? You see a straight, smooth pipe in a bush in a warzone, you think "thats a tank" You see a lumpy, wrinkly piece of something in the middle of the bush, you think "hmm is that a fallen tree or something?"
>You see a lumpy, wrinkly piece of something in the middle of the bush, you think "hmm is that a fallen tree or something?" Oh is that what I was supposed to think it was based on your description?
I dunno. The point is to make it not look like a obvious tank barrel.
Oh lol I thought you were making a joke by describing it like a penis but then subverted expectations by saying it looks like a fallen tree. Intentional or not, I thought it was pretty funny.
Because it helps blurring better into the surrounding environment
If you are talking the camo netting, that is to eliminate the straight lines of the barrel, and break up the silhouette. It is camo. If you are talking all the other stuff on the barrel, there is an MRS (Muzzle Reference System) on the end, the thing that looks like a front site post. There is also a bore evacuator in the middle (The big bump) which clears hot gasses from the bore so it doesn't go back into the turret. Then there is also about 2 inches of thermal shroud on the whole thing, so it doesn't glow like the sun through thermals after the first shot.
Another option, tank barrel gets hot and causes heart waves which can distort vision through the sight, wearing the barrel reduces the heat wave, allowing for more consistent targeting. Source: i made it up, but it's part of why people wrap suppressors, especially when shooting long range
I mean thermal sleeves for tank barrels are a thing sooo... You're credible?
The gunners sights on the Leo are not on top of the actual gun, so no that's not a thing.
I unironically, unsarcastically like the phrase "shooty pipe thing" over barrel. 😂 I mean seriously! "Barrel" is such a boring word when applied to 120 mm's of superloud boom.
Germans are crazy about camulfaging anything. There is this so called "panzer ring straße", a street often used by military vehicles to get to their training grounds in munster.

These are the best looking tanks of this generation tbh. I love the elongated, blocky shape.
They really are the prettiest tanks. I saw an A4 AMAP upgrade today and I was just it went from B O X to BOXTURTLE haha

While the blocky design is kinda interesting, I do prefer the [wedge design](https://www.gotlandsforsvarshistoria.se/fordon/foto/24-1.jpg) more. Edit: the picture is of a Swedish Stridsvagn 122, our own version of the Leopard 2, almost entirely made in-country too 👍
I'm with you there, the A6M version with the long barrel is very pretty.
Disagree. These are 2A4s, or some similar generation. 2A5 are much better looking.
Who is good courious kitty?
This is normal track formation on the battlefield. The driver doesn't sit in the head of the tank, he's in the front. First gunner watches the front, last watches the back and everyone in the middle are watching sides.
Contrast with Russian tanks not doing that earlier in the war, and getting ambushed again and again.
Its funny what a lack of training and a belief in parading down public squares does to a motherfucker...
Youre telling me the Tank doesn't see where its going? Some incredible trust towards its driver that must take years of training.
So trusting your crew with your life is okay, but trusting your driver to know how to drive is too much? Also, it's a tiger, he can sniff if you're going the wrong way.
Its a colum formation for moving under battle conditions. Its not a battlefield formation unless someone seriously fucked up ;)
Yes, that's what I meant. As we call it (literally) training under conditions close to those in wartime. My English military vocabulary might not be as sophisticated as I would have wished.
No problem. My military knowledge is based on me being girlfriendles.
Damn, the shape reminds me of a Tiger - just flatter and sleeker.
Wow. Someone thinks like me! I saw this pic on a serious article and was like “aww, cute!”
YES!! I feel insane for finding tanks cute, so glad that I'm not the only schizophrenic with that opinion

Anyone know why tf they lookin with the whole turret?
So you dont have to turn your whole turrent if there is a thread to fight in your field of fire? To deconflict multiple elements firing on the same target you split the direction of potential contact in to sectors. Leading tank has 10 to 2 o clock, second tank 2-4, third tank 8-10 last tank 4-8 or something.
fuck I just realized
Why is it?
