Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    This cannons seem too old, combersome to aim and low accuracy. They take a crew of 4,which could man 2 ATGM crews.
    Are those cannons effective today and modern compatible?

    Also, all the wars fought in last 30-40 years most of the frontline rapid breakthroughs with low casualties (or lopsided casualties) came by Air Force use.
    Remember 1st Iraqi war? Sadden did not have a antiaircraft defence and his army got massacred. With viable AA sistem Americans would not have such an easy time.
    Iraq was geared with this kind of anti tank cannonade which proved failure too. Seems those are geared to Iran/ Iraq war of 80's and before.

    What I am saying, if true about those being absolute, wouldn't it be better just not to have those and try to form as many ATGM units as possible?
    Howitsers and other artillery are diffrent issue, but those oversized hunting rifles on wheels do not give me confidence. The crews have to be on line of sight with enemy and very vulnerable.

    Some of these old conventional armaments are going to be in demand once or if all electronics could have deterrents.
    Most deffinetly ATGM'S are the way to go, but what would be better, scrapping these guns or training crews to man them. They're ammo is dirt cheap, high rate of fire(6-10 RPM at max capacity) a lot of different ammunition to pick from( HEAT, HE-FRAG, APFSDS), they can fire ATGM (up to 750mm RHA penetration) out from the gun, if the system is modified. There's no doubt these guns are old but don't count them out.
    They are a b**** to move around but I personally love these guns.

      Put them a few kms away from line of contact and just keep firing away on the enemy line if things go bad. They are good to use in a sense that they still work. Shouldn't be able to rely on them. They are supposed to be in a museum especially with a country like ours that is still in state of war.

            It's mostly raining at nights and sometimes around 5PM for an hour, even if the app shows full rain.
