Long time, no see. Glad to see this place is still in business.
Having a minor debate on another board. Someone seems to believe that the "big guns" of the Military Police are self-propelled artillery and not main battle tanks. Does anyone have an image of a Military Police tank? Can't seem to find ANY images of the big guns in the site galleries. Thanks.

The big ones from later in the show? They were
Howitzers.

Is this what you were looking for, Executor?
(act 26)
Or this one?
(act 7)
Good to see you back!

Wow, that was fast. Thanks guys. Weren't there some tanks in there SOMEWHERE though? Hmm.
(Not that it matters. The thread has to do with the Military Police fighting the orcs of Mordor, and artillery will kill them just fine.
)
As an aside, does anyone know if these images conform to any particular real-life vehicles?

I think that, as a rule of thumb, anything with wheels is probably only lightly armored, while the stuff with the real armor has to have tracks to support all the weight. But I'm not 100% sure of this. All the Paradigm armored vehicles were wheeled, I think.
I seem to recall seeing three different kinds of armored vehicles in Paradigm -- a light armored vehicle with some kind of light gun, one with a rocket launcher, and then the much heavier tank-like wheeled vehicles in the last few episodes.

I'm not entirely sure...but I think I remember once seeing pictures of a somewhat armored vehicle the army had which large tires like that and I think a possible turret. Don't take my word on that though...

The smaller ones that have a back end similar to a trailer are similar to units that I saw towing Patriot missle launchers during the 1st Gulf war.
