Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't typically think of "John Castle" and "peaceful, snowy outdoor scene" at the same time.
As of earlier this year, the company mandated this: Since I prefer NOT to be depressed and comatose, I found where the jpg was located and swapped it out for this:
Alameda, 1975. USS Enterprise CV-65, USS Coral Sea CV-43, 2 Wabash class AOR's and USS Oriskany CV-34.
This is better because I took it. I loved those old tanks, but I wouldn't want to go to war in one. Abrams is superior in every way.
Of course it is, few tanks around the world are it's better. Question: how would an M60 fare against a T-64, or a T-72?
The US tank is completely vulnerable to the Russians (even over the frontal arc). M900 could probably penetrate either Russian tank from the front, but the crew would be better off trying a flank shot. Day or night, TTS would give an M60A3 a fire control advantage over the Russians, though. Having served on both, it's difficult to describe just how much better the fire control system is in the M1 series. As a gunner, I had a lot of missed shots on the A3s I crewed. On the M1IPs I crewed, I literally never missed a shot. Not once. The hydraulics on that tank are amazing (the pump is about as big as a large office trash can).
I really like this one. It'll probably stay up for a long while. Upper left corner is the Vox audio player, which can draw from iTunes, Soundcloud, and a whole armada of streaming internet radio sources.
