    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…

    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…

    Interesting. Sadly makes sense in this day and age though…

    I’m a weird moving target though, I have different devices configured for specific purposes. GB doesn’t have a phone number for me, as I’m almost exclusively WiFi and have no SIM card in my tablet. I haven’t even been logged into GB for over 3 years, I just figured I’d give their app a spin a few times to see what they’re all about.

    My tablet stays home, period. It’s never been logged into Google nor GB, I sideload all my apps, I have Google Play Store + Services disabled. Also Location Services have never been enabled. Sure they can do loose location tracking, but the tablet stays home, so they literally never get any of my travel GPS data.

    My current phone does have a SIM card, but isn’t logged into Google nor GB.

    GB just does have my email address, and it’s the first time (to my knowledge) that they’ve even bothered to email me.

    I think they’re just trying to bait me into logging back in and giving them more of that sweet sexy useless data, I ain’t even had a bank account in over a decade…
