Suggestions and bullshitting thread, venting, etc. [NSFW]

According to multiple reports at the time, in several battles between the Hungarians and Soviet tanks in Budapest, the rebels poured liquid soap on the streets of Moricz Zsiground Square to bog the armor down before disabling it. Rebels would then attack the tank with Molotov cocktails (another insurgent tool with Soviet origins) and put it out of commission.

In an attack on Red Army armor in Szena Square, Hungarian rebels reportedly used pilfered bales of silk to coat the road and covered it in oil to create an improvised tank trap.

“The tanks spun helplessly, unable to move forward or back,” according to one account.

Then the insurgents would use items from their breakfast tables to confuse the tank gunners.

“As the tanks became immobilized, daring youngsters darted forward below the arc of fire and daubed jam over the tanks glass panels,” one account said.

The Giraffe; a mobile fortress and command/comms center rolled into a single vehicle. Other tanks have all been kept to huddling as low to the ground as physically possible, all old-school defilade fire dogma etc… They don’t know what they’re missing.
 
These things are terrifying to see in person. If the scare-factor fails, that brutalizing point defense laser hidden behind paneling on the forward hull, coupled with the heavy armor and active countermeasures, tends to get the point across. Do not cross a Giraffe’s forward arc.
