When pig got started, the bar for entry was a lot fucking lower and the community much smaller. Now it's bigger, and under far more scrutiny. Pig can't make it like he used to.
One of the reasons I love returning to his T-14 Armata rants because it proves how stupid he actually is. There is certainly an argument for what a given vehicle lacks, how it works in a given environment, and in what conditions (lol Russia mechanical stupidity), but are you really going to try and pull certain arguments when even the damn US is using the same design philosophy with the M1E3? None of these ideas are ever created in a vacuum, none of them are premised on the idea of technological supremacy and insurmountable technological dominance. In the end it all comes down to logistics and basic grunt usage which escapes the totally more superior minds represented by the Pig's drunken insanity - and hilariously shot down by Nicholas Moran of all people.

There was so much wrong with that video. Saying the T-90 had the same amount of torque as a Honda Fit- lol. Russia at the end of the day is more or less stuck with the T90 and T72. They have the factories and parts. The reason the M1E3 works for the US, is that it's still an Abrams at the end of the day, you aren't reinventing the wheel entirely for a vaporware vanity project
 
Libaboos (wehraboos for militaries of ‘liberal’ democracies) are more retarted and annoying then weheraboos, while wehraboos get bashed for saying anything remotely positive about the reichs, libaboos get celebrated and their retarded opinions are treated as facts and try to spread it like a cancerous ideology
 
Literal baby seal clubbing
Mike Sparks was just some schizo on the internet. An internet lolcow for 2010s military forums. He somehow eshittified it, it's not even funny to talk about him anymore.

Now you have homo retards talking about him like he's still an active threat to the lockmart industrial complex working in cahoots with anti stealth lobbies or whatever they speak of.

He's also dead if anyone was wondering.
 
asically every tank can turret toss. Lot of them just as bad as the T-72. It all depends on the sensitivity of the propellant used, what it gets hit by, and whether it can create a chain reaction fast enough. Really the only tank that this cannot happen, is the Abrams. But that doesn't mean that there isn't any danger. Ammunition in the bustle rack can still detonate cause the entire back half of the turret to be deleted and the ammunition door to cave in, killing the crew if they hadn't evacuated beforehand. There's a few example of this in Iraq. Abrams also has plastic rods and plates across the ammo bustle to try to prevent a chain reaction with strategic placement of its ammunition. Such as not clustering HEAT rounds together
Modern NATO tank ammo is designed to deflagrate vs explode when hit.

Burn in a controlled manner vs turning into a bomb.

You can actually see this in action if you find the Iraqi M1A1 getting hit by an ISIS Metis-M Atgm in the bustle. The bustle lights up and burns but the crew gets out as it's burning.

Russian powder bags with a metal baseplate.... Just EXPLODE.
I know the M60 has a 105, problem I see was for like 2 decades we focused on 90mm, plus the HEAT and missile development like you said, which was a mixed bag.
The US tank fleet was all about the 90mm gun from 1945 till ~1958 when they seriously began to look at alternatives.

By 1960 the OG M60 was around and had the US clone of the L7 in it.

Loads of M48s got upgraded to the 105mm M68 gun later.

Try early 1990s. He was crazy on Usenet well prior to Web 2.0
Now you have homo retards talking about him like he's still an active threat to the lockmart industrial complex working in cahoots with anti stealth lobbies or whatever they speak of.

Aw. I hope his coffin was lowered by a crane attached to an M113 so it could let him down one final time.
 
Wait what?

Pig has been sober for more than a month?
I guess it’s snowing in hell.
He is a functioning alcoholic so it makes sense as to the poor quality of the video. Sometimes people tend to operate better when they’ve been under the spell of the bottle for so long. Drinkers also tend to be chronic liars so who knows really, it is his word.

It's not surprising given what he offers for content. For example tank autists in general will either trend Bovington's Tank Museum chats and related organizations (for newbies and casual viewers) or follow the Chieftain and related company, in part because of the knowledge and objective nature of their material (much like Drachinifel for pre-Cold War naval discussion). All the Pig provides is drunken rambling which, at best, has some tenuous grasp of reality that's quickly defeated by both the video length and his subjective - and often blatantly incorrect - opinions. Click bait only gets you so far now, a lot of people expect informed opinions and evidence to follow up upon, something the Pig will never be able to provide.

I would wager that he got in because during this time period was the likes of Potential History (faggot who started the bomber Harris worship and making fun of anime, usual normgroid things, pompous nigger worshipper etc. I could write many things about him but I digress), Who was making videos that were short, popular history, mostly targeting the elusive “wheraboo” who would be on Facebook posting random bullshit. Most of it in my view was discussions spurred on from war thunder (see spookston’s channel) or other games at the time. These were distinctly Redditor content creators and thus when piggy came onto the scene around just before/during Covid, it was just more of the same. However as the space expands, you have the likes of not a pound of air to ground or Alexander the ok at length citing many sources or a 3 hour video by Combination K who is the only person (autistic foid) to start bringing previously untranslated Soviet sources to light about oil pipelines for the Soviet military during the Cold War, it’s tough competition. When you start getting into the nitty gritty about avionics or guidance systems, actual doctrine, night vision, these are things that require actual effort. It’s a lot easier to get on your knees and make up shit to worship your amorphous racially ambiguous masters in order to own “da evil vatniks”. Also the likes of “tankies”, actual far-right individuals etc have been able to have their say more so all content isn’t derivative of old boomers being paid a handsome sum to perpetuate myths to keep up the mythos of the west or however the burger is flipped. Nvm, Libaboo is a perfect term for this.

This is why he is making longer and longer videos, on subjects well outside of his speaking matter. His politisperging, talking about Star Trek etc is showing he clearly cannot rely on the same formula. People also have Ukrainian war fatigue as it comes to a attritional standstill. As you said, people turn to mostly museums or people who clearly have the know-how to study enough to bring to light their own conclusions.

I think it just brings us to a point where he is starting to crumble. Even a lot of NAFO people or those who support a lot of his political positions despise him, or mock him. I think when the war is over it’ll be the real end of him, but even that is called into question. Can David finish the t72 series without his entire online career imploding? As he said before in his patreon post he is “feeling lied to by everyone”, he is becoming a retard with paranoid psychosis. Maybe I’m just looking into it too much.

The idea of doctrine is foreign to David because it requires him not to drink himself until he pukes all over his gunt. This is too much effort for a slob like him. Also I’ve noticed very often number crunching autists (even ones who say they aren’t, I.e defence analysts or OSINT, even some political commentators) tend to not have a grasp to understand context to something. Hence why piggy’s t14 arguments only make sense if you live in a total vacuum.

Funnily enough I don't consider it a fault specifically of the Pig because, as you point out, it's a common trait among most people interested or invested in such topics. Concepts like doctrinal use and its theorizing are simply boring, they lack the glitz and glamour gun and armour stats provide, and require a good degree of nuance and appreciation of one's biases to fully internalize. It makes reading some recently published military history works hair pulling at times because plenty of these writers fall for the same trap - and it happens whether the author is an implicit Wehraboo, Westaboo, or Tankie. I am not looking forward to what the future holds in this area because critical thinking has seriously fallen off in favour of claiming headlines and shilling certain narratives.

With writing, it is simply everyone cannot follow "rule of cool" and need to create some justifications for every little thing around when it bogs down the story. It is TNO-esque, where everyone wants their alt-history story to somehow succeed if their concept is just right/has enough numbers crunching autism. It is just terrible really. With piggy in particular, he has other people who can dumb down doctrine for him. Animarchy is doing some lacklustre series on the soviet air force (and combination K defends him for some asinine reason despite his hatred of Russians and communism in general) so he palms off anything too long to read to him or others (falconfightertales, digi, some discord mod) to pass it back to him and he takes it as fact. I cannot believe he genuinely sits down to read any documents regarding doctrine beyond blogposts and some random wikipedia page. He is one of many lolcows, where sloth and laziness proves to be their downfall. This entire field is already dead because everyone deep down is a nigger loving libtard who is incapable of earnestly taking up any position even for the sake of what they write.
 
>t72 is shit
Fuck you, id like to see your favorite challenger-2 toss a turret as high as t72 does, fagpig...
Huh, it cant? t72 is the best firework out there.

They're both tankies, just Animarchy has hid his powerlevel somewhat since the start of the Ukraine War. Simple as.

Well yeah. World of tanks stats are cooler than how all the equipment is supposed to work together in combined arms.

The US tank fleet was all about the 90mm gun from 1945 till ~1958 when they seriously began to look at alternatives.

By 1960 the OG M60 was around and had the US clone of the L7 in it.

Loads of M48s got upgraded to the 105mm M68 gun later
The 90mm M48 was used well into Vietnam, though that was more cost savings
 
Drinkers also tend to be chronic liars so who knows really, it is his word.
Tbh, I'm maybe not black pilled enough, but I actually can find some entertainment in his videos, just haven't watched for a good half year.
After he said it, I started listening a little bit differently, and you can tell he's probably actually sober.

Good faith view: He has, as stated by him, done some work for a defense contractor before, at minimum.
You can't do that without being able to get your shit together.

He sounds sharper right now, and more snappy.

I'l buy him being sober/occasional drinker for as long as I don't get evidence that makes it obvious he's off the wagon again.

(Regarding the rest of his opinions: At least he makes it obvious what his bias is, which is more than 80% of the "creators" do. I can respect and appreciate not having to look for a bias because his bias is clear from the outset. Gives more time to be critical on the substance, not the delivery)
 
The most egregious, blood boiling aspect in this video is how he tells 12 lies a minute to oversell his point. His rant about tv's is blatantly false in many ways, the soviets had contemporary models of modern TV's with the west at the time, like the sapphire 412. He doesn't say how the soviet economy of scale was unable to allow its people to have one in every home or how the centralization stuffed the soviet economy, it HAS to be exaggerated lies about how they're, for some fucking reason, made of cast iron. His whole stick is like Baldo Peggings the coke lawyerwhere he has to lie and lie so that when you debunk one you have to move the next and he's already told 7 more. I hate this fat nigger so much
There's people who actually grew up in the Soviet Union who talked about this. This is actually one of the reasons the Soviets fell behind the United States economically, because they did not use computers or other such electronics in the civilian. Sectors of the Soviet economy. But Piggy's a retired and doesn't understand anything about the Soviet Union and why it fell apart. He would also be necked by the people who defeated the Soviets for being a fag.
