Vehicle Questions

• Can my friends drive the tanks and shoot the guns?

  We are not able to allow your friends that join you to rotate into the driver's position. Our packages are build in a way that the driver advances in their learning and education of tank driving. It is crucial to learn how to drive the entry level tanks before graduating to the others and the same goes for the guns. However, friends can buy their own gun packages on the day of.

• Do you have any American armor?

  The American Military does not release their amor to the public like England and other countries. Wars and skirmishes took place in Europe, and out of the need for farm equipment and transport vehicles, old and outdated European military vehicles were/are put to good use in the civilian market. Sadly, much of the U.S.'s historical WWII amor is at the bottom of the ocean or inoperable. The Department of Defense's Ken MacNevin (spokesmen for the Defense Logistics Agency's Disposition service) has this to say "in the case of combat vehicles the U.S. Army no longer needs or uses, the Department of Defense's demilitarization policy requires them to be destroyed. You might see a tank outside a V.F.W. or in a park, but it isn't a working one, and the government considered it to be a long-term loan. No one really owns it." Due to availability, the fact that England has been an ally through the years, and prices of their vehicles; most all of our armor is British.
