Along the lines of the post u/Foxtonnes made 3 years ago that made it on the list: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/avfc51/helix_pomatia_please_the_willys_jeep_platform/

I'm suggesting that newer variants of the Jeeps (Willys MB) get added, hopefully to get classed as a Light Tank to do scouting/spotting for rank 3 USA Ground as there's currently a big gap there between the M24 at 3.3 & M41A1 at 6.0 with the M18 GMC at 5.7 getting reclassified from Tank Destroyer to Light Tank likely as a attempt to fill the gap, that's a 2.4-2.7 BR gap with no light tank for the US.

When it comes to specific Jeeps, I'm thinking the following:

M38A1C: Modified version equipped with a M40A1 106mm recoilless rifle. Some units were fitted as spotters, with a .50 caliber rifle. The 50 cal. would be fired first, to ensure a first round hit with the M40 equipped unit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_M38A1 https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/7/7/121177-38-instructions.pdf

M151A1C: The M151A1C equipped with a 106 mm recoilless rifle on a pedestal-mount. Capable of carrying six rounds of ammunition and weapon tools. Including the driver, it provides space for two men and has a cruising range of 442 km or 275 miles. http://www.imfmotorpool.com/TM_9-2320-218-10_Mar68.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M151_%C2%BC-ton_4%C3%974_utility_truck

M825: Variant with M40 106 mm recoilless rifle mounted on rear. It had racks in the cargo bed to carry 4 shells: http://www.jeepolog.com/UserFiles/downloads/m151/TM_9-2320-218-10.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M151_%C2%BC-ton_4%C3%974_utility_truck

For BR, I'm thinking 4.x for the M38A1C while the M151A1C/M825 would be 5.x due to age difference, on top of the amount of cannons and ammo considering the cannon is already in game on the M50 that got 6 of them, the Jeeps would only have 1 along with less/no armor

As of 1966, the Turkish defense industry is in its infancy. There exists only three real players in the domestic defense game - the Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKEK), active in many different aspects of the defense industry, the Sarsılmaz Firearms Corporation, producing small arms and ammunition, and the Gölcük Naval Shipyard for shipbuilding. Mostly, however, the Turkish military is supported by foreign grants and foreign purchases of equipment.

The Ecevit government has deemed it necessary to expand the purview of the Turkish defense industry’s mandate, and is therefore ordering the following:

• The creation of the National Aerospace Corporation (UHS) for development of aircraft and helicopters
• The creation of Turkish National Firearms (TMAS) for development of firearms and personal weaponry
• Note: Sarsilmaz Firearms Corporation will become a subsidiary of the TMAS
• The creation of the Anatolian Rocket Corporation (ARS) for development of rockets, missiles, and propulsion technology
• The creation of Turkish National Vehicles (TMA) for development of ground systems and civilian vehicles
• The creation of Military Electronic Industries (ASELSAN) for development of complex electronics
• The focusing of the MKEK on a) training up the new defense corporations listed above, and b) shifting to mass producing necessary ammunition

All of these new corporations will be controlled by the state, with students from university encouraged to enter these new corporations with generous benefits. The goal will be to make all branches of the Turkish defense industry increasingly capable - with MKEK, the only part of the defense industry with any real experience thus far, taking a guiding role, especially in relation to small arms, ammunition, and vehicles.

The first projects for these new corporations will be as follows:

• The UHS will aim to build an intellectual base of aerospace engineers from top schools within Turkey over the next five years. The UHS will also take over the MKEK’s limited aerospace wing and study extant knowledge within the MKEK for a base of understanding. The aim will be to produce domestic light aircraft designers within the next five years.
• TMAS will take over some of the MKEK’s arms factories, and shift to domestically producing the following equipment en masse:
• Mauser Gewehr 3 battle rifle
• Rheinmetall MG3 general purpose machine gun
• Walther PP/Walther PPK handgun
• PzF 44 anti-tank rocket propelled grenad

Saigon, Republic of Vietnam

January, 1955

As our forces are facing increasingly mobile and armored opposition, the ARVN High Command has authorized the modification of existing Willys M38A1 Jeep into the M38A1D "Destroyer" Jeep. Out of the 2,000 Jeeps in our inventory, 1,000 will be modified.

The M38A1D "Destroyer" Jeep is the base M38A1 Jeep fitted with:

• 1 L2 BAT Recoilless Rifle mounted at the back of the Jeep.
• 1 M1919 Browning mounted in front of the front passenger seat.

The M38A1D "Destroyer" modification is expected to take 3 months to fully complete and will cost roughly $5 Million. It will be sent into service with reconnaissance units of our military.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
