Haha I just posted this but it looks like you beat me to it. I wonder what it says

[mirdan.livejournal.com]

Oh Arthur. This might be a reference to those under-armed WWII British tanks.

[gloomykuma.livejournal.com]

lolwat

also is the sfx around England's tank "miyomiyomiyomiyo"?

[hotaru13.livejournal.com]

Yeah. IDK, guess it's the sound of creaky tank treads?

[valerieholic.livejournal.com]

isn't it niyoniyo? like the sfx when prussia grins?

[pinkvelvet89.livejournal.com]

England's going "niyoniyo" mockingly, while the tank itself is making a 'miyomiyomiyo' noise (although I've never connected the sound tanks make with something that almost sounds like a meow...)

[pinaki93.livejournal.com]

Haha what.

Oh google-fu.

[flamefox324.livejournal.com]

England drives a tank.
LIKE A BOSS!

I find England oddly adorable, even if he was driving in that big and scary tank. xD

Pfffff oh goodness <3

[curlee1029.livejournal.com]

Oh Iggy. You and your tanks.

Lol Google translate.

[hotaru13.livejournal.com]

England. Even in a tank, he is SO CUTE, with his little smirky-smirk~

LOL, the Fiat 2000-san. "Let's move forward at 7.4 km per hour!" XD

Italian tanks are actually pretty cool. The military museum where I live has a few. England's are odd. They have a WWI British tank at the musuem too ( http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/dark_tenshi17/Tanks/100_3784.jpg )

There's a WWII one from Italy in the musuem: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g171/dark_tenshi17/Tanks/100_3782.jpg

Iggy's so cute~

[rice-powered.livejournal.com]

Italian tanks are cool, but they are lightweights, lol

Also, model of one in a game:

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

Is this the game Himaruya is playing?

And yes, in the beginning Italian tanks were lightweights, then they moved to mediumweight and when they finally became heavvy, WW2 was nearly finished... -_-

The idea was to make them fast, using as a base the English tanks... I guess as a start it wasn't bad but by the time WW2 came around it really needed to be updated... but for assorted reasons they decided to do it only when it was too late... -_-

[twyxted-mind.livejournal.com]

That Iggytank (Did I seriously just call it an "Iggytank"?) kiiiiinda looks like a zamboni. And that's adorable somehow.

And the Italian tank... I half-expect there to be fully-stocked kitchen inside.

"Italian craftsmanship is too terrible to have this design."

Am I not the only one who smells irony?

[tsubasafeathers.livejournal.com]

[darklight90.livejournal.com]

I meant that the British designs aren't much better themselves :P

OM, that's absolutely cute~!

[haillierose.livejournal.com]

Iggy looks...just adorable, :)

The Italian tank is just like whoa...lol.

[jjblue1.livejournal.com]

Okay, I found out which tank is the Italian one. Well, it was pretty easy, the pic is named after it... ^_-

It's a Fiat 2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_2000), basically one of the first, if not the first, Italian tanks, also nicknamed the "heaviest World War I tank", which is kind of fun because, althought being done to take part into WW1, by the time it was ready, WW1 was basically finished... -_- (also it seems there was a German tank that was heavvier...)
The most interesting feature was the rotating turret (at the time it seems only French tanks had it).

It completely disappeared in 1936 (it seems the last existing exemplar was used as monument... ^_^) and apparently it was used only once in 1919 in Tripolitania...
