Default [OT] A Tank by Any Other Name

I get irritated when people claim that anything with tracks is a tank. After I got annoyed at her for claiming that an ASU-57 was a tank, my wife challenged me to write a simple guide to let people like her identify whether or not a given vehicle is a tank. This is the result: http://russellphillips.wordpress.com...ny-other-name/

So next time someone claims that an M113 is a tank, point them at that blog post

A concise and well-written piece. I especially like the interactive quiz at the end. Nice work.

Thank you I have to admit that my wife suggested some improvements to the first draft before it went live. Apparently the initial version talked down to people who didn't know the difference between a tank and an APC. She wasn't very happy about that.

Heh Luckily, she forgave me once I'd changed it.

I could argue that vehicles like the BMP-1 and Bradley are oversized light tanks carrying undersized infantry squads
