Oh, that old trick. Here watch this, see nothing up my sleeves? good. Let X = 0.9 recurring Multiply both by 10 to get: 10X = 9.9...
It does, dosen't it.
Sorry, but I really can't recommend specific books because that kind of information is fairly rare and not something typically found in most books...
Without spending a large amount on some of the more technical books, the internet is probably your best bet. Remember Google is your friend, a...
Re: Panther turret I wouldn't exactly call it fast, 2 years from the first model, 18 months from first production, 15 months from first combat...
Thought it was because the more modern British MBTs were 'descendents' of the cruiser tank line whose names began with C, rather than the...
Yes, it's probably right. I've heard before the the 90mm was close to the performance of the 17 pounder.

Oh, how so? Which would basically be confirmation of foreign involvement, wouldn't it?
That's correct, there are no end of machine shops in Iraq that could build the actual EFP device, however optimising the design might be a little...
Hollow charges don't work terribly well if they are in contact with the armour, it actually works better if there is a short distance between the...
Well if you are going to summarily dismiss all reasons that conflict with your point of view of course it isn't. To you. Ok then, you're a...
You realise that the composition of the shot, and therefore the material it's made of, is very much linked to how fast you can push it out of a...
Jens' KE equation is fine in and of itself, it's his assumptions that are way off. The alloying of the penetrators means that the weight by volume...
Because at current impact velocities, and projectile construction techniques DU based penetrators are better at punching holes in armour than...
Well just remember you did ask :D Look at the second image I posted. Yes, chances are that there will be no shot at the exact centre of the...
You may be right about the extra pair of eyes, it may depend on the situation and nature of the operation I couldn't really say. If the loader...
