IT'S ALREADY AUGUST AND ONLY 12 PEOPLE REBLOGGED IT!?
I know I mostly gripe about War Thunder, and it deserves it, but I'm actually pretty pleased with my 6.3-ish Japan lineup. Especially the ST-A1.
Does it have good armor? Absolutely not. Is it survivable?
Mmmm... nah. Ah, but it must be fast! No armor best armor right? WRONG. This thing's top speed can be best described as "lackadaisical." What does it have going for it?
It's tiny. It's hard to see. And it's packing a 90mm with access to M82 and HEAT-FS. It's sort of like a slow M56 that can't be machine gunned to death.
Thoughts on the map rotation controversy?

"The Real Right Stuff" by aerospace artist Bob McCall
One of aerospace artist Bob McCall's last works was a portrait of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong. Called "The Real Right Stuff," the painting depicts Armstrong during his early NASA career when he was an X-15 research pilot at NASA's Flight Research Center, now the Dryden Flight Research Center.

Neil Alden Armstrong - Aug 5. 1930 - Aug. 25, 2012
US Navy aviator, NASA astronaut, research pilot, aerospace engineer, university professor, commander of Gemini 8 and the first man to walk on the Moon.
"Despite Armstrong's status as an American icon for being the first man to set foot on the moon, he considered himself first and foremost as an engineer and pilot." ~ David McBride, director of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center
Thought it was pretty fucking cool. They had my back. They showed up for me. I don’t think ‘ease my mind’ is the right way to say it—I want to perform, I want to help the team win. But, like I said, I thought it was really cool. And I appreciated it for sure. It’s a humbling game, right? But keep going, keep working, keep doing all the things that got me here. And it’ll come back eventually.

No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
Happy birthday, Curiosity.
