I love it

I’m amazed that the mount even fit the flak guns “turret ring”

12.8 cm

Lol

Not just 12.8cm tho its even an duel one

The turrets on an Iowa class battleship were literally the most secure places on the ship, which into two entrances, one being on the bottom of the turret on the top deck, and the other being 5 decks down at the base of the turret.

Safest unless you were inside it when out of battery happens

Oh god.

Is it possible to out of battery a 16 inch naval gun?

Technically I would be right

Get your war predictions in now!

USA vs Russia vs China!

You can scroll up a day or two for that

the biggest win would be to turn the other two against each other

Yup

Russia would control the skies

but china would have the funds

Yeah

Russia would rule the skies and AA area. They also have better tanks.

But as you said china has the funds.

can you say russia has the better tanks when they're all designed for different purposes?

well, the issue is that both China and Russia havent exactly properly entered into the realm of Stealth combat technologies and aircraft mounted cyberware suites, unlike the US which has heavily invested into the idea of both since the 70's and 80's

meaning that, even tho yes China and Russia would have the numbers advantage in the sky, that means nothing if you cant see where the enemy is thats downing your aircraft

for Russia, they over the past 10-20 years have faced economic troubles due to their exploits in many regions across the world that they can no longer sustain, which has bled into their progress into developing proper Stealth Aircraft, hell Russia's supposed big and powerfull SU-57 suffered from this as it was supposed to be co-developed and produced with India, but satisfaction of the project with India faltered massivly a couple of years ago so now the aircraft is in a state of limbo with less than 20 having been actually produced and not all the technologies for it being fully developed and it is likely the aircraft will be cancelled all together as currently Russia has to pay the brunt of its costs due to India pulling out of the deal.

Russia's tanks are pretty good. They do have the largest amount of tanks but how many are fully operational is anyone's guess lmfao.

and China, well their latest attempt at doing a Stealth Aircraft are in mixed results, especially after during its 1st reveal flight of a recent attempt at theres one of the demonstrator aircraft alsmost totalled itself before it ever left the runway as it wasnt properly built in the factory and thourouly tested prior to the public reveal

China's stealth jets are paper tigers. Don't have much of an opinion on them.

the problem with russian tanks is that they're really only good in flat terrain

yeah

Didn't know that that's a factor for sure though.

unless the t14 has better gun depression

and europe relies on the US lol

they are great, but they require a very specific set of terrain as almost all of their designs for designed to storm Europes flatlands through Germany

T series tanks generally perform very poorly at defense, due to the extremely poor gun depression

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylZ8dT0_Eu8 this guy says it best when it comes to the best mbt (imo)

Russia attemped to fix this design and philosiphy with the T-14, but just like the SU-57 it has faced massive budget problems and very few have actually been made

That being said if a J-20 and an Su-57 get into a fight my money's on the Su-57.

and the T-14 may eventually just fall into the same role as the T-80, being used in Russia's heartland to defend the nations capital and never see the frontlines unless the battle turns that poorly

isnt the J-20 just a knockoff of the F-22?

nah its China's own homegrown design that seemingly has no design influences of other prevous aircraft

Kind of. It does have some influence but not really.
