Comment on Estonia is digging a 40 km trench to stop Russian tanks — and 600 bunkers are next
Madison420@lemmy.world 14 hours agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but you’ve just admitted you were wrong.
No when people say tank they mean MBT, if you drive a Bradley and call it a tank Abraham’s crews will straight up laugh at you. The phrase you used doesn’t matter, the question is will that actually stop a tank. My response was no but it will slow them, your answer was “Nuh uh!”. Now you’ve proved visually by yourself that you are wrong and probably shouldn’t have “uhm actually” your way into the conversation.

My god, you’ve broken my secret code.
I’ve quite exhaustively shown that yes, at some speeds a T-72 would impact the berm without rotating the turret. I’m not… I literally drew you diagrams dude, I don’t think I could be more explicit about how this works out. But If they don’t slow down this won’t be the case. They will clear it without having to rotate the turret. They also, as you’ve claimed, will not have to turn the turret “away from the berm”. I couldn’t be more clear than this without a lego set and a mallet. I was provisionally wrong about the turret, unless you take it in the context of my earlier thing about not slowing down, where I would correct.
But I don’t really care enough, so have the win about the turret. It’s my little gift to you.
The issue is more complicated than you seem to present it, and I did my best to clarify that. Also, yes, I already acknowledged how the misclassification of things as MBTs is the source of popular Tanker drinking games. It’s common enough there’s a billion articles like this out there, clarifying things. It’s not a phantom phenomenon, are you really trying to turn that into the issue to litigate while glossing over the slow-down-an-attack aspects now?

So we’re done, you admit you’re wrong and also that you’re just being tedious. Neat.
Ego much? Also that ignores the fact that was the entire argument but sure get snippy about it bud.

Whait, when did it become about just the one issue you brought up? Are you really trying to leverage a single small concession into an ideological victory over an entire discussion, but playing it off like nobody could notice that?
This is… interesting behavior. And has nothing to do with the part where the initial claim was demonstrated to be correct. Why aren’t we talking about that part?
Madison420@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
It’s literally the point.
Would a tank have to stop? We both agree no.
Would it slow down a tank? We both agree yes unless you’re implying they not only would throw themselves at max speed across a scarp counter scarp and embankment and that somehow would not slow down the tank.
We just don’t agree on your looney toons tactics which your own evidentiary video doesn’t even support.
