I'll just leave this here. Your words, not mine.

You were the one who was saying that they weren't panicking. That is the interpretation I get from your words.

Incidentally, I'll just note that you never said anything about them playing well for civilians playing at tanks. I was the one who first brought up, many pages prior, the fact that these are high school girls playing tanks.

The point stands, however, that compared to that Chally 2 crew, Black Forest's girls are panicking.

But hey, it is the nature of hypocrites to twist everything to suit their needs.
Again, pot calling the kettle black; you've done the same before, and you're even doing it now.
I'm just going to quote what you posted on my Visitor Messages:

Not really, I just like using idioms against itself if possible to prove a point.

If you can think of a counter to the saying, then by all means, do say it. I like when people go against conventions and "majority" thought.
So it's okay for you to twist sayings around, but not okay for me? Hypocrisy much there, Sumeragi.

Again, as the saying goes, takes one to know one. So if you're accusing me of hypocrisy, well, do the math.

Of course, uncultured people wouldn't know the difference.
If your definition of culture means: risking death and personal injury for the sake of victory; sees no danger in a tank falling into a river; and cannot differentiate between abandoning the weaker members of your team because it is inconvenient to help them, and your team voluntarily taking the bullet in a sacrificial play...

Then I want no part of your so-called culture.

Also, I find it remarkable that you've managed to turn this into a personal attack on me. A tacit acknowledgement that your position is indefensible, perhaps?

... Yeah, that settles it. Pimp My Tank is definitely a show on American TV there.

But still, jesus, fitting the 120mm smoothbore to an M4 hull? Mad genius. That said, if they're using WW2 style rounds, then I could see performance issues, since you need rifling to engage spin to stabilise the round, and since sabot rounds are banned, you lose the whole point of the gun. The 105 the use on the Challenger 2 or the old M1 Abrams would have been better.
