And, to combat them, we have:

The Hero: TeamXtreemer
The Lancer: Avalanche
The Big Guy: Hard Bot/Ben Purse
The [Not So] Smart Guy: Sparkey
The Chick: Jonzu


...we're doomed
Team N00b?  XD
 
Although, I wonder who an actual Heroic GTM 5-man band would consist of? I might consider doing one for our little "Clique", as it were...

my iq is 343
I see what u did there.
Wouldn't want to think about what would happen if he and Naryar joined forces to conquer GTM   :laughing
They would gain ultimate control very quickly, although their alliance would soon crumble in a spectacular implosion of narcissism. :gawe:
Probably over arguing over who was the better villain in it all  XD
 
But then again, it does make me wonder what a Four Bad Band on GTM would be like-
Big Bad- ACAMS
The Dragon- Kill
The Evil Genius-Naryar
The Brute- InfiniteInertia

I also had a thought about how to improve Vlad the Impaler's srimech- currently, that cheaty piston sends it flying around uncontrollably rather than actually righting it, so I had a thought-
(Image removed from quote.)
If it was laid out similarly to the diagram above (Firing upwards at an arc, so that the bottom of the vertical extender is just visible, but not the horizontal one), it could work far more effectively- the burst could actually flip it over in a coordinated fashion, as opposed to throwing it randomly, whilst the extender work is concealed under the lid, still looking very much like the original mechanism.

Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets
I remember that one on my old PC, actually  =P
 
"Lovely- moulting Boomslangs and corridors full of goo"
Yes, was very fun, I completed it 100% a few years back, but when I first got it I just Flipendoed teachers.
I remember beating it at 100% meself, actually- whenever anyone watched, they'd find it annoying that I kept stopping to search for secret passages   =P

Not a bump if it's correctly contributing, mate.

Who'll be the next RW Veteran to come out of retirement, I wonder? With a little luck, we might see Chaos 2 or Firestorm   :approve:

Why have you not added Cassius 2 in that list is beyond me.
Mainly because I'm currently not certain of its whereabouts. I know that it still exists, I just haven't seen it recently. If I do manage to find it however, I'll report back on its current state and see.

Sorry, ACAMS beat you to it.

M1 Abrams =/= Challenger 2
Tanks are usually rated on firepower, mobility and protection, so I'll have a look at those stats on both tanks and compare-
The Challenger 2's main armament is very good, with plenty of potential to fire future natures. It can also do bombardments because of its rifled gun. Split ammo is safer, but takes longer to load than the M1 one-piece. The M1's smoothbore defeats anything at present, but would need a longer barrel to get faster projectiles.
Infantry suppression is poor on the Challenger 2, whereas the M1 has a total of three Machine Guns for dealing with close-range attackers, and may be fitting a remote weapon system for the commander.

The M1 wins hands down on mobility; it has a very powerful and reliable petrol turbine which consumes fuel like Smarties, but goes on and on, compared to the somewhat slower engine in the Challenger 2. On the plus side for the Challenger 2 however, it can go much further than the M1 on a tank of fuel, and even further with its extra fuel drums.

The front of the M1 seems more-or-less invulnerable to most weaponry, while the sides are are weak- numerous M1A1 were lost to RPG attacks. However, I remember a Challenger 2 that that took 8 direct RPG hits and a hit from a MILAN, but still fought on. In comparison, the only Challenger 2 lost to date was due to a friendly fire incident from another Challenger 2 (and even that was left a mess after what had happened).
The strength of the Challenger 2's front is questionable-hence the ERA (Explosive Reaction Armour), but has excellent add-on Dorchester/Chobham Armour on the sides. Plus, you're more likely to survive a turret strike in the Challenger 2, due to its split ammo storage and its electric gun kit- therefore, no Hydraulic Fluid to ignite.

So yes- from what I know, they've both got their advantages and disadvantages- the Challenger 2 specialises in reliability, crew safety and defence, whilst the M1 specialises in speed and attacking capability at varied ranges. Even still, I do see them both as great tanks to have, particularly considering they're both on the same side.
I do hope I haven't missed/misrepresented anything though, as it's been a while since I've last been near a tank.

(Although for me, Challenger 2 just wins out of the two, as it has a boiling vessel   :approve:  )

shut up guys this isn't the drama thread
No worries, mate- it's all in good sportsmanship, really   :approve:

The fact is, I won, you didn't. You just jelly that your War Bastard became my War Bitch.
Maybe if you'd actually KOed it rather than just hang it up...or did Toriodore get toothache from it?  :trollface

Hey, GF. What's been happening?
I've been alright thanks, mate- I'm currently contemplating entering CBBR on ARC, and am making strategies for each opponent in FRR Dead Zone.
you left ?
Yeah. Left to see my family during the weekend.
