I am not a robot. I am a clock.
Yes, yes I did. But even with 360° view, he still had somewhat limited shooting angles through the gunner slots…
But you make a mighty fine point. What’s the best defense against a homemade bulldozer tank with nothing but cameras to see from and drive with? Spray paint the cameras…
The thing had more than one weak point they could have used to their advantage…
Something like that yeah. He built the ~22 ton outer bulletproof shell with 22 tons of thick steel plate metal and concrete. He built it on some sort of hanging hoist over the bulldozer, only to be lowered once he was ready to go cause the destruction he did. He designed it without an entrance nor exit, it was a suicide mission and he knew it.
What finally brought his rampage of destruction to an early end was when the bulldozer ran over some of the debris of his carnage, that some chunk of debris managed to bust the radiator, which ultimately took out the engine. So, clearly the radiator was a weak point all along…
My thought regarding a grenade wasn’t about trying to take the dude out directly, but rather to disable the bulldozer and go from there.
If you haven’t seen the documentary movie about it, you really should…
If I had a grenade … yeah, probably …
Climb on top the thing and drop just one grenade right behind the bucket, in front of the radiator.
That would also block like ~90% of the shrapnel, and with any luck, take out not only the radiator but the engine too.
No reason to go willy nilly tossing grenades at it, I mean hell, they did climb on top of it while he was still driving it to look for an entrance…
They probably could have stopped him a bit sooner by taking a grenade to the radiator…
What does ‘self hosted’ even mean?
I glitched the Internet Archive, and have terabytes of stuff stored there. Accessible worldwide.
However, I cannot share links here, understandably against community rules.
You ain’t got started yet?
Any which way you look at it, it’s gonna entangle with legal battles with the developers…
Brawndo. It’s got electrolytes!
Okay, let’s pretend we don’t live in 2026… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militarization_of_police
But this was in 2004 right? Regardless, you got a homemade tank tearing down your town, what do?
I bet they had some grenades around, but were half busy pissing their pants while making the situation more complicated than necessary.
Fuck, they coulda just dumped 20 gallons of paint on it via helicopter to blind his cameras…
