Specifically, the hump over the twin macnine guns in the nose.

Sure! Awesome to get away with talking about aircraft and tanks without getting off topic of nature.

Also, I love the A-10 Warthog
The Marder III (German for marten) [technically not a tank but rather a tank destroyer who’s only purpose is to destroy tanks.]
And the Elefant (German for elephant) tank destroyer.
I love the foxbat. Wasn’t that made to destroy the SR-71 Blackbird?
Wow, I looked that up because I’ve never heard of it. It’s super cool.
Is there any other tanks named after any animals?
It’s also possible to do multiple quotes in a single reply, like this.
When you have a reply open, you can select text from multiple previous posts from other people and quote them all in one reply. It’s generally preferable to do that rather than make 5 separate replies in a row on the same thread.

You explained that perfectly.
That’s been suggested but it’s probably not the msin reason. The Blackbird was faster than the Foxbat.
If you think about it, the idea of a fruit-eating bat taking out a melodious thrush is kind of weird.

Oh, the Blackbird! I forgot about that one!
Yup! This one!
Foxbat is a fuel guzzler. Look at how massive the afterburners are.

I watched The Eagle Has Landed last night and was reminded of the Fieseler Fi-156 “Storch” (Stork). The ‘common name’ of the plane is a reference to the long, thin landing gear of the plane – reminiscent of those of a stork – which were designed to help it land on makeshift airstrips.

Awesome choice! I just looked up that movie and it looks pretty good. Thanks for mentioning it.
Fish tanks. I’ve always loved them.
