Roel said Shouldn't we base overrated and underrated on the 3 primary points of armoured warfare? Armour protection, firepower and mobility....
I didn't explain enough. This pice on T34 is not cast in that shape, but is cast as a steel plate, then worked into that shape. And because of...
The T34 had a ... let's say MAJOR flaw in the early designs. It's glacis plate was made of one piece of steel that was worked with an angle. How...
Notmi said Not much of a debate. Recent information shown that only 4 round (16 inch) has pierced Bismark's armoured belt. No other hole has...
The Laconia Incident came into my mind too. Also, because the U-boat had a big red cross over the deck. If the oreder came, the airmen were still...
The lather was used from 1942 onwards, therefore is out of the question.
Actually, the T34 prototype had a 45mm gun, and it was called A13 or something like that. (I'll look into it and post some real data) It is,...
A close look at this vehicle doesn't show any marks of a shell piercing the armour. Also, the left side of the tank seems ok (but is not visible...
Actually, Panther is a good looking tank, and certainly better then T34. It shows force, muscle, power and agility. T34 is just some armour, some...
As dmackenz said it, Panzers run quiter then T34. I looked on some material I have at home from internet, and I found some test. in 1939, the...
I am aware that Discovery is not entirelly reliable, that some of the movies they show were not actual combat movies, but fabricated after the...
Discovery Chanel had a few shows about WW2 tanks and armoured vehicles. One story I remember is that russian tank commanders had to get out of the...
Question! Do Wittman kills include the ones in Stug and Tiger and other tanks, or just the kills made in the Tiger? (Anyway, Tiger is synonym...
Christie type suspension gave T34 a good speed on any type of terain, and wide tracks gave good mobility. I think that Panther had better...
I said about the Red Baron, beacuse there were a number of people that claimed to have shoot him. And they did shoot at his aircraft, but who...
That was the article I bumped into. If this is true, they found Wittman. I think Mr.Varin assumed that it had to be a Typhoon, because after...
My claims about this are not facts. I just felt that the impact of air attacks on german armour was that great, because some elite german units...
Like the Ardens, the Hungary offensive was just a loss of men, equipment and resources. They were offensive opperations just because they...
Ps: Sorry forthe long post! :oops:
Thanx everyone! I know that the Wittman used to turn his Tiger at a target, but that was because he initially served on Stug III. But... In...
