Teams Racing today >Kazakhstan Syria Mongolia Venezuela (already gone) >uzbekistan zimbabwe >Sudan Cuba Angola Vietnam
"wtf is this" >legit tank race held in russia annually with assorted countries turning up to compete. All use t72b except indian uses their t-90 Bhishma and china use their type-96b
rules? >Its a time race with a staggered start >Start with a Slalom >Then 3 main gun rounds at a tank target at 1600, 1700 and 1800 meters >Lap of the track >Pintle mounted hmg to shoot a helicopter target at 800-1000 meters >Lap of the track >Use coaxial machine gun to hit a man sized target at 600-800 meters. >finale lap and finish
>Crews must fully dismount before shooting and then load the ammo into the tank >Missing targets adds extra length to the lap after shooting. >Some sections of the course have black and white posts that if hit, have a stop for 10 seconds penalty >All hatchs must be closed for fireing excluding HMG of course (pleb crews seem to forget this alot) >Crews do get a reserve tank in case of complete mechanical failure
Highlights so far >Several african nations running the tanks in high gear and getting stuck or destroying the engine >zimbabwe cheer squad complete with drums and head dresses singing for an hour straight >Myanmar crashing into a ditch >Iran burning their tank down after forgetting to reopen the air intake after a water crossing >zimbabwe stopping an having an ambulance attend them (ruski chat guessed a hand got pinched by an auto loader but nothing serious) >zimbabwe some how opening the bottom hatch below the driver while traveling at 40 kmph >cuba going one better than both and flooding their tank and then on the next lap with thier reserve tank they flooded that one as well >And even better Sudan did the same thing in the same race all while dragging it out to 58 minutes (average time is 20min, Russian and Chinese normally hit 17mins) >tajikistan trying to go full nuclear for the whole world to see by loading their ammo wrong.

Sweet Jesus Christ.

This is my favorite time of the year. Its a third world circus every year.
Josiah Gomez
no tears only repair bills zimbabwe broke their tank on the starting line before moving then broke into song so my hopes are so high to see cuba and sudan drown 4 tanks between them again next race
Race finished >1st Uzbekistan 2/5 hits 27:45 >"2nd" Zimbabwe 0/5 hits DNF at 52:30 and 2 dead tanks
So that was a tank dead on the start, an ammo loading problem, cruising in first gear the whole course and then drowning their reserve tank at the 52 minute mark. Amazing
Next div 2 race is scheduled in 3 hours but there is no second race for 1st div to run in between so hopefully the just run it sooner
3rd and finale race of the heats and of the day is >Sudan/blue >Cuba/green >Angola/red >Vietnam/yellow Cuba and Sudan were next level retardation last time they went so im defiantly sticking around
putin starting cold war memes again like sub and airspace intrusions. US got an invite in 2013 but crimea happened next year. Before then they started having foreign units march in the victory day parade including US troops so i really think i could have happened.
Last day of the heats so there is an empty time slot. Next race is most likely in 2 hours unless they decide to not be retarded and just us this empty slot
Leo Foster
id say close to 10 or more
the ones i can remember are >1 drowned by zim >1 mystery knockout by zim >2 drowned in the same race by cuba >2 drowned in the same race by sudan >1 burnt out engine by iran The is only from the last 2 and a half days ive been watch. Air Intake Cover seems to be the Most Kills Award so far from either to much use of lack there of
there stream is always better and doesnt stop between rounds but they always start late >Multistreaming with Restream.io goes in all fields highlights are over the past few days so cant really recall. This channel has all the races if you can read moon runes and can be bothered youtube.com/channel/UCRds47MZ1Ng7KCLseg2TkWA
Angel Evans
Sudan has dug in and intends to siege out the infantry i see
Ethan Stewart
Did Venezuela just bounce a shot off the ground to hit the target?
best parts in the biathlon is waiting 10 minutes in complete silence and then laughing your ass off when the sudanese break their tank again
Henry Bell
Well they certainly dont excel at tanking
James Wilson
they actually managed to break the Coax I am beyond awe
Dominic Harris
no one does besides the ruskis and the chinks but its just a coincidence
Nolan Lewis
it was the russians who made them stop
sudan in charge of unloading PK at a spectator sport after giving up without even taking a shot >they were taking so long cause they dropped a cartridge in the tank
this is seriously why i watch these shows godspeed sudan
Zachary Cox
Kazakhstan does well usually
Nolan Walker
serbs also do good, but we all know who gets 1st and 2nd place anyway :)
Oliver Wilson
so anyone know what happened to the Vietnamese tank during the tank shooting phase?
Jordan Turner
autoloader br0ke
Dylan Watson
Vietnam runs t90s so i doubt user error. I imagine after 6 days straight of getting flogged the autoloaders are starting to malfunction. >autoloader superior than man comrade >much more reliable than early models >faster than man loader >what do you mean the war last more than a week?
Xavier Sanchez
I bet the chinese were behind this
Jayden Reed
"senior lieutenant, why is there smoke everywhere?" "state secret" "why did we stop, senior lieutenant?" "the chinks stopped us"
Luke Myers
race finished : punished vietnam edition
2nd race 2nd div >1st Cuba 1/5 33:39 >2nd Vietnam 3/5 37:46 autoloader malfunctions >3rd Angola 1/5 hits 39:14 >4th Sudan 1/5 hits 1:02:32 (NEW RECORD)
based 2nd div rewards those who wait. Id comment on the rest of the race but im blank after sudan just tried to "youre pretty cool dont go the the spectator stand tomorrow"
Thats the last of the heats Semi finales will be in 2 days and will only be div 1 followed the next day by div2 semis
huh interesting, Vietnam never had T-72s went straight from 62s to 90Ss
Carter Foster
cant wait to see what fucking crazy shit div 1 does div 2 is the antichrist of the biathlon
Anthony Kelly
Finland should send a team. Some old guys if they don't use their t-whatevers any more.
Carter Wood
doubt they have tankers specialized in the T series but then again they might pull an israeli crewman trick
Asher Sullivan
are they gonna update the charts for the semi-finals? Division 2 was definitely the JUST group
Samuel Reyes
they should have one on their website dont quote me though
Luke Bailey
wait, is this a recording of a different race? whys the zimbabweans racing with the cubans and the sudanese?
Jace Nguyen
old replay heats are over
Evan Kelly
OP here i dont know theres nothing on the schedule about one on now and not ever these teams racing in the past. Perhaps a show match or a tie breaker?
Aiden Sanchez
They used the t-72 at leats into the late nineties, so there should be some guys around who haven't offed themselves yet.
new teams for this one blue/sudan green/Cuba red/Mozambique these are the sudan and cuba teams from the OP highlights who drowned 2 tanks each one after the other in the same race
Austin Smith
mozambique? p sure its zimbabwe nontheless thanks for the link
Nathan Baker
I don't belive its the same cuban team. these guys are far too competent
Aaron Jackson
>inb4 its actually russians in the tank
Eli Flores
yes sorry your right >this is your brain on tanks
Joshua Fisher
>THEY OPENED THE BOTTOM HATCH AGAIN
Daniel Ramirez
are the zimbabweans riding with the hatch open again???
OP here. The div 1 semis in 2 days is on a saturday for me so ill be out on the beers.
Someone can feel free to grab the OP and post for then if they want. Pic is the event dates running off moscow time so figure that out for yourself.
The url is where the specific race schedule was for the heat so i image some time tomorrow they will update it for the semis. that info only shows up on the russian language site but its easy enough to figure.
