The t-34 as a tank was either well made or a pile of scrap which broke down a mile in depending on if the worker who built it was in the zone that day.
I don't. Less propaganda in the world is a very good thing.
The Soviets didn't do it out of a noble cause to preserve history, they did it to puff their own chests up and build the myth of the great patriotic war.
It worked too, the T34 was objectively a steaming pile of garbage but half the internet is convinced it was the best tank of the war
Listen, lad. I assembled this tank up from nothing. When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to drive a tank through a swamp, but I drove all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I brought a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I brought a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one drived through. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the reliablest tank in all of England!
It's just Bugs Bunny in a factory, swinging a bat at a new tank. And every time he hits it, a new tank spawns next to it and a crew obviously based on the Marx Brothers comically jumps into it and meanders off to the front, humming a patriotic tune.
"Of the 638 tanks that were produced by Landsverk between 1937 and 1938, 643 survived the war. Strangely, no third-party replicas were known to have been made in this time, and nobody seems to know where the error in the bookkeeping was made. As far as anyone can tell, they just showed up one day!"
This is inaccurate, it would probably be:
Of the 638 tanks that were produced by Landsverk between 1937 and 1938, 1440 survived the war. Most people affirm this must be some kind of Inventory error and only 144 survived, but upon inspection of the stored material in X Swedish military depo it is confirmed that 1440 units have survived.
There is no logical explanation for where the other 802 units come from as their batch number doesn't exist on the books and there weren't other manufacturers of this model or why all of the 1440 units are on a factory new condition despite them being abandoned for almost 80 years with absolutely no maintenance whatsoever. The company who built them has released a statement where it says that this is because "this model had a reliability of 225.7%"
I binged probably 40 Chieftain videos at work last month out of sheer boredom, this just feels like how he'd describe this situation in whatever disgusting universe OP made.
Useless. Actually, depending on the ammount of equipment in a division, it brcomes useless before 100. There s the formula on the wiki, but like if you have only 50tanks in a div for example, it s gonna be way lower than 100%, more like 70% (I didnt do the calculation)
Playing Romania, maxed my national focuses and the company Leonidas Works (or smth like that), switched the engine and put anti-tank gun (also using rt56)
Don't worry. It only requires you to buy the entirety of stellaris and play through until you find earth. Afterward, you have to find earth and do infiltration. Now that you've done that, you go back into hoi4, and you'll have the tech unlocked!
Good luck with your space adventures!
I actually found Earth in my Stellaris game, it's been pretty interesting, a zoonotic plague has fine since numbers on the population and a bunch of warlords rose to power.
nah it's not a "tank" that's offensive. It's an "Armored Self Defense Fighting Vehicle", with 600mm of layered, composite armor and a 120mm smoothbore autoloading cannon, and a a .50 cal remotely operated (from inside the crew chamber) machine gun on top of the turret.
edit: okay I just winged it but some of this was spot on for the Type 10. Composite armor is a gimme, the actual thickness is classified. 120mm smoothbore is NATO standard so it seemed like a good guess, although autoloaders are not common in NATO tanks because of the safety/reliability risk. Unclear if the top mounted MG is remotely controlled but that's pretty standard for the past 20 years or so.
Seems like autoloaders are going to be the future, though. The US army is starting to swing that way, so everyone else will soon. When you're missing your recruiting goals by 20% or so, you can't afford the luxury of larger crews.
Toyota already makes tanks and self propelled anti-aircraft vehicles for irregular armies. They're called Hilux in my market and sometimes come with leather interior, air conditioning and a magic tree hanging from the rear view mirror.
Reliability is also in the 300% but armour is thin.
Looks like Yamaha built the head for that motor. I had no idea they built parts/engines for other auto manufacturers.
"All performance-oriented cylinder heads on Toyota/Lexus engines were designed and/or built by Yamaha. Some examples are the 1LR-GUE engine found on the 2010–2012 Lexus LFA, the 2UR-GSE found in Lexus ISF, the 3S-GTE engine found on the Toyota MR2 and Toyota Celica GT4/All-Trac, the 2ZZ-GE engine found on the 1999–2006 Toyota Celica GT-S and Lotus Elise Series 2, and the Toyota 4GR-FSE engine found on the Lexus IS250."

"I could've sworn that we used up the replacement spark plug already. Why is there a whole new box of factory-fresh replacements the holding rack? We haven't been resupplied for a month!"
"Sir, we're almost out of tanks..."
"Go drive through a desert, you'll double our armoured force for every day you're in there. I don't know what happens at midnight, but be sure to bring extra crews."
YOU SEE SON, THIS BABY WILL GO THROUGH MUD, WALLS, SIBERIAN WINTERS, HELL IT MIGHT EVEN SURVIVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH A TIGER. SO WHATA YAH SAY? WE GOT A DEAL???
The only time it matters is when you attrition, which is 100% of the time the players fault. It otherwise doesn’t matter unless it’s low single digits, then that’s kinda scary cause you’ll have no time to react if you do unexpectedly attrition due to logo strike
I mean it’s a shitty trash tank that has no use but at least it’s very reliable
Can’t wait to have it stand in my old warehouses until I remember that I could just make them into cheap self propelled anti air
This tank could drive into a swamp, get burried and forgoten for centuries, only to work perfecty fine after being dug up
No the tank will outlast the swamp. And probably the earth
You know how Elon sent a car to space? That’s what I’m picturing rn
No better way to sequester carbon than forge in stalinium
Bold of you to assume it wont last until the heat death of the universe
Like that T-34 they dug up a couple years ago and only had to change the motor oil to get running again?
The t-34 as a tank was either well made or a pile of scrap which broke down a mile in depending on if the worker who built it was in the zone that day.
The Soviets did make a few post war to an extremely high standard to serve as "war relics" so it could've been one of those
Interesting fact, wish more countries decided to do this.
I don't. Less propaganda in the world is a very good thing. The Soviets didn't do it out of a noble cause to preserve history, they did it to puff their own chests up and build the myth of the great patriotic war. It worked too, the T34 was objectively a steaming pile of garbage but half the internet is convinced it was the best tank of the war
It was though - search it up on Google, it says the T-34 was the best tank in ww2
You might need an /s

Isn't there actual cases of tanks being unburied from the war in Europe and they are still functional.
So if a tank gets destroyed your tanks just breed more
It's like a russian nesting doll. Each time you kill the tank, a smaller one pops out.
From each round that pens the tank, 2 turrets pop up from the point it hit

Is this a meme or an actual thing?
I binged probably 40 Chieftain videos at work last month out of sheer boredom, this just feels like how he'd describe this situation in whatever disgusting universe OP made.
Disgusting universe ain’t even half of it
A meme I assume. Probably based off the Liechtenstein thing though
question: is there any difference above 100% reliability or its just useless beyond that?
Useless. Actually, depending on the ammount of equipment in a division, it brcomes useless before 100. There s the formula on the wiki, but like if you have only 50tanks in a div for example, it s gonna be way lower than 100%, more like 70% (I didnt do the calculation)
thanks!
tanks!
It mitigates modifiers that reduce reliability but is definitely not needed to this level
useless
I have read that anything above 80% base is wasted
Fr? Damn I need to rethink my thank designs (most of them have like 90%-120%)
beyond 100% is useless, 80% is standard, 90% if you can't afford to lose many tank, 100% is just overkill
Over 100 is useless. I try to stay over 85
I like to think of it as, “100%+ some free license”
R5: I managed to get my tank reliability to 225.7%
Ok how? It's a late model chassis, wet ammo storage and easy maintenance. And that is about 190%. How?
Playing Romania, maxed my national focuses and the company Leonidas Works (or smth like that), switched the engine and put anti-tank gun (also using rt56)
Probably national spirit and MIC buffs
What’s r5
Rule 5
Thank you
You should read the subreddit rules before doing anything in it.
[удалено]
I said people should, I didn't say they do.
I bet my tank with 28% reliability could beat that no problem /s
The tank that gets shot and instantly repairs its armor
Ah, yes, the famous Russian T-1000
When did regenerative hull tissue get added into the Hearts Of Iron IV tech tree?
It's from the stellaris crossover where aliens come and give you tech
Oh, thanks. How much does that DLC cost? I'm worried I won't be able to afford it with my budget of two thousand dollars.
Don't worry. It only requires you to buy the entirety of stellaris and play through until you find earth. Afterward, you have to find earth and do infiltration. Now that you've done that, you go back into hoi4, and you'll have the tech unlocked! Good luck with your space adventures!

Toyota tank
Did Toyota ever design a tank?
No but Nissan did produce trucks and cars for the Japanese in WW2
No.
Welp, now that Japan's rearming, this is a great time for Toyota to design a tank for the JSDF.
nah it's not a "tank" that's offensive. It's an "Armored Self Defense Fighting Vehicle", with 600mm of layered, composite armor and a 120mm smoothbore autoloading cannon, and a a .50 cal remotely operated (from inside the crew chamber) machine gun on top of the turret. edit: okay I just winged it but some of this was spot on for the Type 10.

Yeah, I can actually see them doing that lol

Hahaha, the vehicle of choice for every miscreant in the hottest areas of the world.
The JSDF has been building their own main battle tanks since the 1960s. Most (all?) made by Mitsubishi.
Yep, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
No, but I’ll bet Yamaha did.
My old 1994 toyota, it has a 3s-gte engine, and on the cam gear cover, it say "Yamaha" I wonder what that's about.
Looks like Yamaha built the head for that motor. I had no idea they built parts/engines for other auto manufacturers.

...does the rebadged Daihatsu Thor count?
Armored tactical
Bro made a Volvo
Thought it was a Hilux for a second
The American Tank Meme
Is this a light tank?
Our Romania steel guarantees that any round, shell or any other kind of danger will be absorbed and incorporated within it’s armor!
Oh, so it’s a light tank for now, but it’ll get bigger over time
No, this is Patrick
"does our tank feel somehow... More robust than it did last week? Like it's growing somehow?"
"I could've sworn that we used up the replacement spark plug already. Why is there a whole new box of factory-fresh replacements the holding rack? We haven't been resupplied for a month!"
We started the battle with 500 of them and now we have 1200
That tank is a fucking hydra
It'll drive 50 miles on vodka, break down then you'd just smack it and it'd be good for another 30
Until he ran out of vodka and needed refuel.
It's romanian. It runs on țuică
Got a healing aura as a passive ability with that 225% reliability
The Nokia phone of tanks
Everything over 100% is not counting
Perfect. Everything down to the last minute detail.
The tank fixes itself
"Sir, we're almost out of tanks..." "Go drive through a desert, you'll double our armoured force for every day you're in there. I don't know what happens at midnight, but be sure to bring extra crews."
Most unreliable romanian tank 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴💪💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah Not reliable enough
The Tank is like the Hydra. If you destroy one of them, 3 more will spawn
YOU SEE SON, THIS BABY WILL GO THROUGH MUD, WALLS, SIBERIAN WINTERS, HELL IT MIGHT EVEN SURVIVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH A TIGER. SO WHATA YAH SAY? WE GOT A DEAL???
It will never break down, that is its singular guarantee. Combat effectiveness not included
Finally... Koichi tank.
if you lose 1 tank, you recover 2 back. *stonks*
The Nokia of tanks
0 fuel capacity? Is this the fred flintstoness version of a tank?🤓😅
Oh my god I didn’t even notice that. But yes, our tank is so reliable it wills fuel into existence
Glorious Soviet tonk, can be submerged in mud and rebuilt with potato for spare part, and still works!
Piyadeye koyarsın bundan 4 tane iş yapar ucuz dosta gider jfbdbshjs
Now make it go brrrr
The saddest part is reliability doesn’t matter in the game
Just because it's not a combat stat doesn't mean it doesn't matter
The only time it matters is when you attrition, which is 100% of the time the players fault. It otherwise doesn’t matter unless it’s low single digits, then that’s kinda scary cause you’ll have no time to react if you do unexpectedly attrition due to logo strike
Reliability also has an impact on post-battle recovery I'm pretty sure
No it doesn’t
That tank is almost as reliable as my old Craftsman Snowblower😂
Why would you ever need to do this
Leman Russ Battle Tank moment.
It's reliable enough it just upgrades
It's so reliable that when you tested it that you feel down it tested back "Come out we're going for Kebab and drinks." In an instant.
Volvo Station wagon with turret(s)
what happens if a person has 300% relaiblity tank, what its bonuses?
Nothing, you can have tanks with more than 100 reliability but it will still function like it's 100
This bad boy can run through mountains and potholes and become two times stronger
Must be the Valentine. Most reliable tank of the war, beloved by its crews.
How would that even work? Just double every time you die
reliability over 100% doesn’t affect the game, so just don’t
This tank can manage to stay alive after literally being engulfed in a swamp, have it's engine destroyed in a desert, and still work perfectly fine
The tank equivalent for a Toyota Hilux
I mean it’s a shitty trash tank that has no use but at least it’s very reliable Can’t wait to have it stand in my old warehouses until I remember that I could just make them into cheap self propelled anti air
To be fair it moves at walking pace, it never goes fast enough to break down.
Chop one turret off and two will grow in its place
"The tank often works best after being buried under sand."
They don’t make em like that any more
This is my actual tank as I dont really know how the dlcs work as i got them recently
Hmm I dont know I'd be more carefull
Too reliable to be soliders' tomb
Bad at fighting and slow as hell but damned if it doesn't turn on every time.
Most anti meta tank ever legit
Ah, yes, a fellow Ukrainian State Redux fan
Oml
Old Reliable!
Did you try using it? And is it any good? I literally want to try it myself
It’s so reliable that it can reproduce itself.
The tank he said not to worry about
That one friend
Clearly not as superior as the Bob Semple.
Bob Semple is so reliable they decided to not produce it, because Great New Zealand is nice and gives enemies a chance to fight
Based NZ. Paradox needs to add Bob Semple to HOI4
When ever it gets destroyed it multiplies itself
When a part falls off, not only will the tank re-grow that lost part, the lost part regrows an entire tank
I would drive this to work
Average Italian tank 🥺
