Fan Fiction / Re: What's old is neu: Relighting the Fringe with old guns and new wars
« Last post by Daryk on Today at 06:14:48 »Task and Purpose went to Kursk! I won't link it directly, but it's a very interesting video. The Ukrainian comments about the Ma Deuce were especially interesting. Apparently, it's the single most reliable piece of kit we've given them. They like the vehicles, but they're maintenance hogs. The commentary about EW was also fascinating.

I mean, I'd be very happy with a proper Spad too.
