Tank Quiz on Military Channel
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hey, it's fixed. Question 9 for me was "a modern tank exerts a ground pressure approximately equivalent to a walking man...False or False?" (I should have taken a screenshot*).

*HA! Same questions repeat: (Hint: the first "false" is the correct answer, if you answer to the second one, well...shame on you! Laughing )

Why we love the Military Channel, reason number 6...(I'm tellin' ya', the whole thing's a cheap, sordid scam!)

I would suggest that Mark might have an interest in this swindle (since he posted the link), but I don't want to hear from his libel attorneys... Wink




Still got a book offer though. Laughing

Question 8 is not correct because the M68 105mm uses a fin stabilized SABOT round.

Created as an alternate name by a DamnYankee Evil or Very Mad who couldn't stand having a tank named after a real Cavalry leader

I also missed Q8...because the 105mm SABOT round had fins! I knew what they were looking for, but answered it accurately instead of correctly. It is a Military Channel quiz, so I should know better...

According to Wikipedia Gen James Gavin was born in New York City and grew up in Mt Carmel PA.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...s_M._Gavin

But I would NEVER associate his name with an AFV

C_Sherman - agreed, and the 120mm of the Chieftain, Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 fires APFSDS too.

Perhaps someone will give 'them' a clue what a 'technical consultant' is, and it might include some sort of knowledge base beyond Wikipedia.

I can vouch for "Cities of the Underworld-Tunnels of Vietnam" doing their homework. About 100 email exchanges worth with a researcher for the show.

Some of the questions (in this case, explosion effects, sound pressure levels on hearing, etc.) are two-dimensional/pure linear, but I commend them for their effort. Not sure that happens much (or if it does, that they take any notes) over at the M.C.
