This is quite interestig. 1.3 to 1 kills in favor of Germany. This tells me that: 1. more then 20000 shermans plus a number of SPAT guns took on...
So, this will include german tanks destroied by AT guns, SPAT guns, tanks, AA guns, infantry, naval guns and aircrafts, and any other conceivble...
Certainly not. Even JagdTiger had to be feried accross rivers many times. 100 tons of Maus would not be any easier. However, from what I have...
Actually, german armour was more reliable then t34, and Shermans were mass produced to an even greater number. Roel, I thought that it took 5...
It was a tank designed to suport infantry assaults (more like stugs). So, is not neaded to be small. Besides, in 1941 the germans could shoot at...
KV 1 started production in september 1939. But there were problems whit it, namely working with 75mm steel is not easy for the russian workers....
Just as a side note on Tigers maneuvrability. How many WW2 tanks could move one track opposite to the other? Tigers could pivot on place. Nice for...
Just a quick internet search with keywords Browning M1919 yelded more 50cal pictures then 30cal pictures. Sorry for the confusion, but it seamed...
Some 1350 Tigers were accepted in service, and around 1500 were built. On some internet pages I have saved at home it is sugested that Tiger's...
Well than how the hell can we compare 2 things that are ment for 2 different roles? Is clear that as an infantry suport weapon, the MG42 is...
Roel said Shell velocity is within 800-810m/s. Matching calibers had close muzzle velocities. APCBC rounds had a blunt head, which will ensure...
Questions! How many 50cal. were issued to infantry units comapared to how many 30cal? More, equal, or less. I think less. Do yopu think the...
Roel said Using APCR, they could, but only within 100m, which will expose german tanks to russian 76mm guns, which were more then capable to...
I don't want to turn this topic in a debate between my opinion that Tigers were living up to their reputation, and everyone else's opinion that...
Well, I guess that if they are hiding in a halftrack and get shot by a 50cal. they would get wounded or killed. But in an anti-infantry role, the...
Panzerman said Don't see how! Detail a little. Yes you are right. I shouldn't have said hardest. Brinell Hardness Index for Panther armour...
Yes, is true. Germany has reported more kills then actually had. So did other countries. 2 Tigers versus 20 T34-76 in front and some other in a...
Read this first This is NOT a story. Is a report about how much a Tiger can take. But, there are also KV1's or KV2's that stopped entire...
How about this? "You can angle the armor any way you want, and beyond a certain point of shot overmatching plate, the obliquity will cease to...
MG42 was capable of 1800 RPM with some parts chaged. Otherwise it fired about 1200 RPM. It was cheap to produce, easy to operate and the barel was...
