    Now what about if you’ve lifted the front about 2 feet and lower the back? That’s big these days.

    Also, the abrahams is probably even better, as you’ll stick your head out, not to mention camera views

    I’d go for the Abrams if it didn’t have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it’s good to get out of a traffic jam.

      Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that’s it’s not so much different from a large SUV at this point.

        An extra ton of batteries is not going to change the weight that much.

          Yes! And you can dump any removable armour, because road rage incidents rarely involve calibers larger than 55.

    I wasn’t aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
    Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.

      Make sure you specify what kind of firearm you want with the uber order, otherwise you could get something stupid.

    Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

    Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

    Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

      The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.

      As an American, I don’t see the appeal of those trucks. We also have trucks with flat fronts, they’re just not as popular.

    What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?

    Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?

        Are they at least equipped with parking sensors?

            Nobody here is going to pay for that. When you drive an Abrams, you can afford a few parking tickets here and there.

      TBF, the type of vehicle doesn’t really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn’t see the person, that you are shocked, and it’s just an “accident”. Nobody will question this.

        Especially if the person you murdered is on a bicycle, or has ever ridden a bicycle.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
