In World War I, Mk V tanks were differentiated as 'Male' or 'Female' tanks. The 'female' tanks had only machine guns. The 'male' tanks had six-pounder cannons. do you. do you get why the tanks were male

The first prototype tank was nicknamed Mother. except Mother was a male tank

then they decided having tanks with only machineguns was a bad idea and so every tank got a cannon. all the female tanks became. hermaphrodites. thats the designation they used. hermaphrodite tanks

Honestly I kinda felt bad liking tanks and felt it would be not feminine but then my mom said that my grandmother kinda liked tanks!?

It's always okay to like tanks. Man, Woman, Child, Little Green Man From Mars, whatever. Tanks are amazing pieces of machinery, true celebrations of the best, and the worst of mankind.

Never let anyone make you feel bad about liking something (especially not tanks), because in the end, you like what you like, and trying to deny those parts of yourself just keep you from being the you-est you possible. I'm glad that your grandma's interests have made you feel like you have permission to like tanks and still be feminine, but always remember that you define what that means for you, and damn anyone who says otherwise.

Also, your grandma is based as fuck.

Greetings Mutual, I was reading a comic and found this doodle:

I thought it was interesting, so I looked it up; and it's real

But it only has one barrel :( I agree with the artist, if two doesn't work, simply add more until it does

Though I am curious about your opinion on multi-gun tanks / SPA. Disappointed with the Kremlin's cowardice, Bronzeageprolapse

Oh-hoho, not so fast, my friend.

While you are correct that the final production model of the Koalitsyia had only one barrel, there were at least 2 prototypes that adopted the 2 barrel look seen above. As a matter of fact, I've covered them in an early post.

As far as tanks/SPGs with multiple cannons, I'm of two minds on the topic. On one hand, it's wildly impractical, and makes for overcomplicated, oversized, slow, and cramped vehicles, without much advantage over a well-trained crew and a single gun.

On the other hand, it's rad as fuck.
