Are you sure it was banned? There you go like a bunch of headless hens running in circles  The word is "banner"! A "banner" in this case is a long rectangle used in the signature. "Banner by Otto" means the banner was designed by our esteemed moderator, not that anyone banned anybody!

Sorry for the edit Stevin, I tried to fix the image, but the Forum doesn't allow certain charcters in an embedded image for security reasons. In this case it's this little thing: '
As for banners, Za is correct, I didn't ban anyone or anything. Stevin is thanking me in his sig for creating a banner advert for his website (which seems to be down for now), this one here:
As for the link that Stevin was trying to embed, you can view it if you click here:

though heavy, the 12.7mm KSVk can pop rounds through concrete walls. Nice wepon at range for the insurgent types growing in the mid-east

The 150mm mortar.
In accounts I've read, aside from the Katusha, this weapon was also disliked (being fired at by it, that is).
Alot to dislike there, a Light Cruiser on rubber tires, that can hide in a shell-hole.
Half again the 4-duce.

Re: Favorite Soviet Weapon
That would have been a most notworthy accomplishment for any nation let alone Russia.

Re: Favorite Soviet Weapon
I have not seen that one before. I don't know about the 2000hp engine being avaiable to power it though. In the early 40's 1200hp was about all they could do. Also going from bi-planes to that aircraft would be a big change for the pilots.
