I'd like to know your personalities.

If you were an AFV, what would you probably be? And why? Okay, you can be REALLY boastful if you want to. Hehehehe...

Hmm....I think I would be a Sdkfz 222 Armored Car. I'm a small-ish girl. Then when I talk, I talk a lot! Much like the 222s machine gun and 2cm gun. :-) :-)

And the 222 is a very beautiful armored vehicle........ehem...ehem....

FT-17.... old rusty, creaking, falling apart.
Even a coat of paint wouldn't help, a total restoration is needed. :-) :-) :-) :-)


Oh, I believe this belongs in junkdraw.....

Ooops, I think I placed this in the wrong forum. Mods, you can transfer it to the right forum.

Hmm, i think id be a tiger I. I once took on 10 skaters at one time, they all ended up on the floor cryin to their moms. :-)

Im a pretty big kid compared to other kids. I can take down walls (football baby). And my guns are huge... lol get it? Although i can somtimes overheat if i get worked too hard. I am somtimes vulnerable if not used in the right tactics also.

I would have to be an M2/M3 Bradley.

I'm a good size guy but not real overbearing (like a full size main battle tank would be). I'm not looking for a fight but I pack a big punch when I need to (Bradleys have taken out T-55's, T-62's, T-72's, etc. on several ocassions with their 25mm guns).

I'm adaptable to different roles (in 16 months I went from boyfriend to husband, to soldier in a combat zone willing to kill if necessary, back to being a husband and now I am about to be a father) and as I adapt, I'm getting heavier (the Bradley started out amphibious but has become so heavy as it has changed and adapted that it is now to heavy for amphibious use). :-)

I would have to be a Paladin. Strong, Stout, slow moving but packs a punch. Likes to act indirectly, doesn't need to hog the spotlight to know I am king. :-)

If not i d like to Be A Churchill Black Prince. Style above all

If I was an AFV, I would like to be a Tiger I. Because it' s huge, strong and terrifying. But with all its magnificiant particularities it doesn't fit my character. I just love it.
If I would like to match an AFV with my characteristic particularities, as a "sanitary" guy, I would like to be the ambulance version of Panzer I Ausf A, which I'm working on nowadays.

Probably something like a M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer.

Light, fast, and well armed, but I need my speed and skills to survive as I don't have a big strong well armored hull / body lol (still I survive taekwondo so I'm not helpless hehe)

And the M18 just looks good :-)

I definitely would be german 6 rad Sd.Kfz 231- obsolete but with certain hot-rod appeal to it(me?). Although I'm certainly not that old

Dunno if this would count, but I'd be a German Howitzer 10.5 cm. gun.

As a hard target on a gunnery range somewhere.

I would be..... surprise.... a Sherman.

I'm not the biggest guy
I'm not the strongest or fastest.

I'm consistent and reliable and I get the job done.

hhhmmm... I'm trying to figure out what kind of AFV would equate to an average looking, middle aged male who likes to smoke cigars and take naps. :-) :-) :-)

Some days I think I'm a British Mk.IV "Male"
Big, lumbering, and obsolete.

Other days I think I'm an M-60 with Blazer. Reactive (perhaps overly reactive) and packing a punch.......and only almost obsolete.

By the way...M-60s are cool.

I'd like to be a P1000 'Ratte,' purely because it is armed to the teeth and is totally indestructible (or at least it would be if anyone had ever built it.)

I'd probably be a leopard .. adaptable to many roles.. as armor with a 120 mm gun, recovery vehicle, bridge layer, apc ... you name it.. what the US did in ww2, the Germans do now with their leopard chassis.

oh, did I mention the PZH2000 yet ???
