So I thought some of you might want to not trip into the pit of doom that is using German terms for military equipment appropriately.
Trust me, German means slightly different things most of the time, so I put them in a google docs and added fields for the litterate terms where they don't match for your entertainment.
Just some forshadowing: If it's a ground vehicle and not a design failure, chances are the Germans call it a tank.

So the Maus was not a tank huh ? (Design failure)
Also freaking German long titles, too long, take a lesson from our army's book, everything comes in acronyms:
I Was a MLSHB but now Im on DHSH and the freaking RMD called me all the way to tel-aviv just to give my grade DOH to some SGN that they could get over the comp, taking 9 hours of my life for 2 mins of talk, cosue in the army logic remains at the SHG !

technically it was a tank.
What I meant is that the basic requirement for something to not be a design failure in modern days (aka having enough armor to withstand small arms fire) makes it a tank.
Yes, Humvees are called "tank cars" in Germany

God, no
Aug is shite too. It has a terrible trigger, it's bullpup, the magazines are weird, and left handed people can't use them. It also overheats.
