Hollywood seems to be good at taking an idea that could potentially become an excellent film of historically accurate fiction and turning it into...
lwd: I agree with you that, if we can out-wait them, the Iranian people will effect a regime change. There are plenty of good people living in...
Or what about Hitler's decision to send Ferdinand's Elefants into the Kursk salient? That would make him a very efficient tank killer killer.
OK, I just got here, but this whole thread seems to lack focus because the OP never defined his terms. What, exactly, did he mean by "tank...
I came across this study that looks at the injuries to tank crews post-penetration of their AFV by high velocity AP or SC projectiles in order to...
Yeah, one of us was obviously confused. They never told us anything more than they thought we needed to know beyond our own regt, 7th Army, and...

When I was a driver I often thought of dropping the "escape" hatch below my seat when we got into a real shooting match. Then I could drop out...
Every new model the Germans produced post 1943 was rushed to the front without proper trials. Any new tank is going to have teething problems and...
The thought of riding into combat inside a 45 ton can of gasoline terrifies me. I'd have diesel, so I guess that means the T-34/85 (even tho I...
Are they certain the shot didn't come from a Beretta pistol? "Hey, look! The General's dead! Who fired that shot? Was it you?" "Nope, not me....
