just done some speed calculations on couple jeeps a tank and a AA vehicle
quite stupid numbers assuming the distance for markers is in metres lol..
Vehicle Speed Mph(Kph)
Open-Top Jeep 60(97)
Closed-Top Jeep 48(77)
Tank 38(61)
AA Vehicle 22(36)
these are aproximate readings that I used squad command markers and a straight piece of railway (daqing oilfield beside airfield) to measure. fraps for the time readings since it gives decimal second readings |

What are you studying Java? Must be a statistical based degree, never known anyone with such a love for all things stats!!
While you are at it then,
1. Is there any differance in speed between the MEC, USMC and CHINA Vehicals?
2. Is there a reduction in speed when carrying passengers due to increase in weight?
3. Does the type of terain have any effect on the speed of a vehical?
4. Who would win a fight between a monkey with a knife and a midget with a knuckle duster?

LOL KingDingMabs - if the passengers are all McDonlads stuffed American bloaters surely it will go slower than rice fed Chinese peasant conscripts?
I'd put my money on the midget after watching 'oiled naked swedish midgets in mud bath massacre' the other night  |

Think i caught that show. It was on just after the "Horizon special" based on the illegal use of shaved monkeys as silent assins. Got to say, they are a bit nifty with a blade so my money is on the monkey, although if the midget was from Cambodia and was part of the Cambodian midget fighting league then perhaps the midget might have the upper hand?? Hmm needs a bit of thought me thinks!
Unless Java can some how quantify the out come with some much loved stats!!  |

Nice one java!
That's bizarre as a poodle armed with the superb G36C Carbine always loses to a Yeti wielding a sharpened piece of broccoli .....
Go figure! |
