::Action-wise, it hasn't been bad, but the writing is atrocious. My favorite line so far is "the armor is thick enough to survive anything from a Stinger to a ten-foot SAM." Does the tank fly too? I don't know, I'm only half way through. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:15, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

Sadly no. The tank is just a funky looking tank with lot's of guns on it. But here is a historic fact for you. Durring the Yon Kippur war Israeli tankers encountered Egyptian SAM Sites. According to the Israeli tankeres the SAM operatiors tried to use their sams as anti tank weapons.  there were missiles the size of telephone poles hitting tanks...and doing only cosmetic damage to the hull.

:Well, it's because a SAM is basically a hollow tube made of tinfoil. Collision mechanics says almost all the energy of the collision would go into the missile destroying itself rather than doing work on the tank's armour. It's much like if you punch a wall as hard as you can you'll break every bone in your hand and do absolutely nothing to the wall. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 11:56, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

For a B-grade 1980's action film it's not bad. I own much worse, If I had a DVD copy I would make you watch "Steele Justice" with me.Rockwolf66 01:58, 20 April 2012 (CDT)
