<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">Lol! Could always put an elmod or cheap sound cards to have the tank roar instead of diesel engine sounds and yell out "They're great!" after a round fired followed by the 80's theme song....."Show'em your a Tiger! Show'em what you can do! The taste of Tony's Frosted Flakes....."

Some really creative real life tanks.....that actually get under my skin to be honest.http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&amp;q...x1TE&amp;gbv=2

BiggTony, I clicked on one of the pics in your search and was appalled. Apparently groups like to go around and paint static display tanks pink for protests!

http://deserthat.wordpress.com/2008/...-robyn-miller/


http://tinselman.typepad.com/tinselm...ink_peace.html

"If you had taken a walk to the corner of Pages Walk and Mandala Way in London in 2002, you would have been greeted by the threatening view of a a large green/gray T-34 (a tank). There it is before you: a menacing ghost of battle, of death – a monster waiting (hiding) in the weeds. Children walk by quickly. Old men look away with hands over old wounds. And so you turn and leave and never return. Too bad. You will never see what is about to happen.



Later that same year the tank is painted pink by artist Aleksandra Mir and is dubbed Pink Tank. Instantly it is transformed. It becomes cute and small. Approachable, funny, sexy. Above all, it becomes a statement of peace.

And now people flock to the tank. There it sits, a virtual playground for graffiti artists, a work in perpetual
progress. A weapon transformed into a statement of peace, love and open mindedness..."

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; ">Sometimes, people forget......with out these weapons, they wouldn't have the luxury of statements at all! I highly doubt the fashion of the pink/graffiti painted tanks erased memories of battle from the old timers thoughts or swayed anyone to believe the machine was anything different than what it is.....a battle tank.

something tells me a sherman commander would still pee his pants if he saw a pink tiger (or I guess a german armored vehicle vs the above t-34) bearing down on him. I doubt he would get all warm and fuzzy inside because it's color seems less threatening.

Ain't that the truth!
Reminds of those PETA folks who went up to Alsaka and got eaten by Grizzly bears while up there trying to save them.

and if ran up against a Tiger I commanded by an actual tiger? I guess it would just mean that the end of the universe had arrived. That tank looks like what would happen if someone decided to form some sort of a NASCAR for tanks, what with the sponsors and all
