      You could be a fan of both, like me! Soviets made absolute beauties, and importantly, they made them cheap and mass produced. Imagine a HUNDRED THOUSAND T-55s with APDS, what a beauty. For reference, those tanks first saw combat against Israel if I’m not mistaken ;)

        I could be a fan of both, but I’m not! Current favorite is the Nordic model, but I do like “workers’ self-management of enterprises”, my favorite communist “feature”.

        Re tanks I find them fascinating, they are horrible machines; the only thing worse than being inside of one in war time is being outside of one.

        A lot of countries still use the T-55, it’s like the Honda of tanks

        WWII Panzer IIIs and T-34s are my favorites, I like the classics but NOT the Sherman. Fuck the Sherman
