There is a difference between arc trajectory and balistic trajectory...
I was thinking smooth bore gun (SMG). Thanks for the lesson, canambridge and Notmi. Do potential energy add to kinetic energy at the point of...
Yup, that's a JS allright. Sorry for beeing in doubt. As for the Panther, the hits didn't kill it. Besides, the 76mm rounds hit from behind and...
AA guns like 88's don't hit the Lancasters fliing at 4000m up. Sorry, but the idea is that you fire a large shell, filled with explosives, that...
Well, if whole german army would have been isued Tigers or Panthers instead of what they had, even if outnumbered, there would have been no...
Well, the noise of projectiles constantly hitting the tank is a factor too. But I don't know how much... Engine noise, tanks noise, artilery...
For lighter tanks, or SPAT guns, is a factor to turn the whole vehicle. The gun has limited traverse (for the later). But for tanks... Is not that...

It seems to be some Schneider, cal. 75 mm, md. 1897 guns, or Skoda, cal. 75 mm, md. 1928, since these were in use on large scale in Romania....
A pilot requires another pilot to confirm his kill. Guys, you are so eager to shut me up (appologies for this), you never asked me what 75mm...
If by tigerphobia you mean confunding a Tiger with a Mk4 by unexperienced troops is true. Tigers have been killed with 50cal mg from above and...
The question still remains for me. Who killed Wittman? The pictures show but his tank. Was that tank an cornered one, unsupported? Or it was part...
First, this are not actually took from some books. I took them like this. 40000 shermans were built in roughly 4 years, thus at a rate of 10000 a...
Question (unrelated, but just)! Were Mk3, Mk4 and Mk5 tanks (germans) also capable of turning on spot?
