Is Rotarycraft stupidly difficult or am I the stupid one?

Regardless of that opinion on the conversion factor, these are the laws we play by, and comparisons between machines are emergent from these laws. A Buildcraft combustion engine will drive a RoC borer far faster than a Buildcraft quarry, and a RoC gasoline engine won't even make a Buildcraft quarry twitch (and a RoC fuel powered engine would make said quarry crawl with slothlike vigor). As such, it is undisputable that the borer is the far more frugal and efficient platform.
And essentially setup and forget. Assuming you decided to fuel it via tesseract and not tanks sitting on site.
How efficient are they at scattering depleted uranium across sovereign nations?
No offense, but not everybody has the same rosy outlook that you do on tanks. Just saying.
Pretty inefficient, especially since we're removing depleted uranium for I believe tungsten. That's a long slow process though, and of course tungsten has its own problems.
Does being thrown out of a plane count as flying?
Removing != Removed. Two wars in the region in 20 years (I saw them both), and cumulatively I'd say in the millions of rounds fired. Don't forget that.
But hey, since we can't nuke them and genocide is technically illegal, give 1,000 years of cancer to the people amirite? That'll teach them.
The boring machine, in terms of running-cost versus output, is by far the best return on investment for any automated mining machine I have ever seen. And that's without the efficiency upgrades.
Efficiency IV makes it run so ridiculously cheap its almost comical.

There's plenty of other weapon systems that use DU besides the Abrams, it's only sabot rounds that are made of it, and we don't fire those willy-nilly, they're only useful against heavily armored targets like enemy tanks

Wings are a crutch.
Wings are a crutch.
You know, while I know exactly what's going on here (firing a blank during a fullspeed jump for a public show), I can't help but always look at these still frames as if it was some sort of cartoon and the tank was comically being launched backwards from the recoil of its own cannon

Firing in mid-air / turning / what have you, isn't a problem actually. The guntube is gimballed and de-coupled, it automatically compensates for changes in elevation so the gunner doesn't have to be a savant to hit targets while moving.
But can it go higher?Wings are a crutch.
Actually it is the ramp what is a crutch, and even some winged ones use that too in some circumstances.
