            <title>The Chrysler TV-8 Concept Tank</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Which, as Rod finally found, was the subject of the Whatziss tank this weekend.

The front view in that post was odd enough - I'm thinking this one, the side view, will trump that for oddness.



The 50's were a time of ferment in the tank design business, what with all those nukes to contend with, concerns about the need to disperse formations, reduce the number of troops, make the vehicles&nbsp;lighter and more strategically deployable... hmmm, sounds a lot like the 00's, doesn't it?]]></description>

                Josh - probably somewhere in the vicinity of 35K hauling cargo somewhere.

                Josh - perhaps Dusty, a real, live Hog-driver, will flutter out of the clouds he lives in and give you the down and dirty.

                <![CDATA[Fishmugger...Super Warthog?&nbsp; Isn't the A-10 a 25 ton aircraft fully armed and fuelled?&nbsp; If that turret really does weigh only 15 tons, it would be a MINI-hog... <br />
<br />
Not that any piece of heavy equipment ever REALLY comes off the assembly line as light as the designers claim it will be...<br />
<br />
And Casey...I HAVE heard that the recoil of the GAU-8 is roughly equal to the maximum thrust of one of the two turbofans on the A-10...so all we need is unlimited ammo and it will work!&nbsp; Ah, why oh why don't video game cheat codes work in airplanes...<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[Josh,<br />
<br />
I wouldn't give the Air Force any ideas here. That turret looks like one of those lifting bodies NASA was playing with; so a couple of jet engines and a swap out to better landing gear and you have a Super Warthog. Although the cannon may slow it up some when fired.]]>
