        Fairly certain the suspension would not be needed when you liquify a human being under the tracks

      NICE. I would like to see the Cybertruck and BYD vehicles added, among others, but I will definitely take a broader chart over a cherry-picked up-to-date one!

    Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

    Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

    Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

    Lol, it took me a second to figure out this chart.

    I was wondering where the hell am I reasonably expecting to encounter a 2.5 meter tall 5 year old…

    I’d go for the Abrams if it didn’t have such bad fuel economy. Then again, I guess it’s good to get out of a traffic jam.

        Make sure you try that before in front of a mirror like in Taxi Driver for convincing results.

        I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Eddie Hall(former world strongest man) did. At least he drove over someone else’s car before.

      I can tell you’re not American because we consider fuel economy to work like golf, the lower the number the better.

      Hmm, could you electrify an Abrams? I wonder if there would be a way to make it street legal, given that’s it’s not so much different from a large SUV at this point.

          Yes! And you can dump any removable armour, because road rage incidents rarely involve calibers larger than 55.

    I wasn’t aware with my European mind that you can call an Abrams uber there. Wow.
    Seems like the perfect solution for a lot of urban problems.

      Make sure you specify what kind of firearm you want with the uber order, otherwise you could get something stupid.

    What about the lower-profile Warsaw Pact tanks? Are they safer to drive around small children?

      “They are made for small children, that’s why they have an ammo carousel!”

      *slaps turret and gets blown up by random bolted-on Kontakt ERA

      They’re actually really good for this, none of the crew had any jolt or bounce injuries after either Budapest or Tienanmen.

      You’d have to file a 285 if you tried to pull that in a sherman.

    My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.

    Lambo it is.

    Now what about if you’ve lifted the front about 2 feet and lower the back? That’s big these days.

      TBF, the type of vehicle doesn’t really matter. If you want to murder someone, do it with a car and just claim you didn’t see the person, that you are shocked, and it’s just an “accident”. Nobody will question this.

        Especially if the person you murdered is on a bicycle, or has ever ridden a bicycle.

    Wait, does the driver in an Abrams really only have the periscope and the hatch, with no higher-mounted cameras?
