| Optio | Guess nobody know this one. The answer is there have been 2 years that 2 category V storms where in a season. 1960 and 1961. Ok here's another question. In 1960 General Dynamics Land Systems Division came out with the M60 Main Battle Tank for the U.S. What country was the M60 meant to compete with? What was the name of the tank and the year it entered prduction To the first person who gets this right I will donate 30 MilBucks to that person. Good luck |

| Optio | The T54/55 The T-54 series tanks first appeared in 1949 as replacements for the T-34 tank of World War II. The first T-54 prototype was completed in 1946 with first production beginning in 1947. The T-54 was continuously improved and modified, and, when sufficient changes had been made, the tank was redesignated T-55. The T-55 was introduced in 1958 and incorporates all the refinements and improvements of the fully developed T-54 series without being radically different in design or appearance. The T-55A appeared in the early 1960s. Production continued in the Soviet Union through 1981 and was also undertaken in China (as the Type 59), Czechoslovakia and Poland. |

| Optio | Post; Answer is still out there...Not quite. General Heinz Guderian also studied the tactics of this General for the Blitzkrieg. With regards to this Generals flaw or difficulty it would be of such gravity in todays military that you would never get past the rank of Private Worth 30 MilBucks |
