Part 1. Today Tyng Industries announced a new entry level R/C Tank Combat product line that will be debuted at the June 14th Gettysburg event. When asked about the new product line Steve Tyng, CEO of TI stated "We are really excited about our new offerings, for the first time TI is delving into field artillery were we see a huge opportunity for a reliable and affordable field mobile weapons system”. When asked about past and current artillery systems and the lackluster response they seem to garner from combat participants Tyng responded “Yes, we’ve observed and even tested past efforts in mobile artillery. There never seemed to be any real effort by our competitors to produce something that was anywhere near useful on the battlefield and of course there was the total lack of reliability”.
This reporter decided to get to the crux of the matter regarding mobile field artillery and inquired why would a combatant be satisfied with a system that was nothing more than a prepositioned cannon that one would hope an enemy tank would drive in front of? Tyng answered, “ Who would want such a system, not much fun in that is there? What TI has done is taken mobile artillery to the next level and produced a system with a full 360 degree rotate, elevate, AND a high precision traverse function in a low cost, easily manufactured system”. When it was stated that there are already artillery systems with rotate and elevate on the battlefield, particularly the Tri-Pact Navarone platform, Tyng pointed out, “Well sure the Nazarone can point and shoot, but have you tried moving it? It takes a whole company of Engineers with heavy lift equipment to budge that thing, also, the damned thing is broken down half the time, you know, very low MTBF, to many moving parts, etc.”. When it was pointed out that Dr. Pittelli, the very litigious CEO of Tri-Pact might not take kindly to that last statement. Tyng chuckled, “I know he won’t, I’ll just add whatever his lawyers regurgitate to the pile of cease and desist letters growing on my desk”. When asked how a system with all the touted features if his new weapons system could be more reliable than other efforts, Tyng responded “From the very beginning reliability was a driving factor in this project. We opted for high quality US manufactured equipment for the basis of our new design, not cheap Wal- Mart supplied junk, and something I’m really excited about is our control system, really innovative stuff, but I’ll what to the unveiling to go further into that.” --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
