Napanood ko to kahapon mga bandang 6-7 o 7-8? Basta. It was very nice film about WWII weaponry. Kagabi pinalabas yung tungkol sa Tiger at Sherman. Pagkatapos yung Supermarine Spitfire at BF-109. Ganda. Very informative. Last time yung tungkol naman sa German Howitzer and British 8 pounder. Watch it if you got time. Very nice too.

Saw it this afternoon while having lunch. I agree with shonen on it being really informative, plus they showed some 1/35 scale models on the show, too.

Watched that show too. It was indeed very informative. I myself would choose the Tiger over the Sherman. Only numbers made it win. About the aircraft issue, I think I would go with the Spit. I just want it's engine converted to a direct injection engine.

Hmmm..German Armor were far more superior than US's. Kya nga kung napanood nyo yung Patton, namo-moblema cla sa Tiger Tanks ng kalaban...

Sayang...T_T Wla na 'kong cable....T_T

In 15 minutes, they'll be showing MiG-15 v F-86. NOW I can watch it hehehehe!

BTW, I hope they don't show an M-16 v AK-47 episode - Fritz and I might have a shouting match about it hehehehe

Ahhhh! Sayang! You mean the first clip showed MIG-15 and F-86? Pakwento naman! At oo napanood ko rin yung M-16 at AK-47. Now, now, no debates please. Both of these guns don't need to be compared. Each is unique and has a different capability. Like the last few words of the clip

Only in an experienced soldier brings out the full potential of a gun


Or something like that.

BTW, I still like the SA-80A2 #:-)
