Again, what do you base this on. Most Tiger losses were NOT through combat. What sources do you have which contradict this? Schneider gives dates,...
Fair enough Skua but it was beginning to sound as if you and a few others were as guilty of the same kind of IS-2 'love in' as us German armour...
What have you got that contradicts this? Just your 'opinion'.
Scheider seems to be right about most things. :lol:
Hi Panzer Profile, I've just seen your GD Tiger. Cool! Really great job PP. Just how it should look. I'm glad my pictures helped. I always...
Skua, I would say the only advantage the IS-2 had over the King Tiger was it's mobility and not much else. It's small ammo load was a HUGE...
KBO, That colour pic of the T-44 you posted must have been a patchwork because it has the T-54's starfish pattern wheels and the later track....
Don't forget, the Panther was in combat action in July 1943 and I very much doubt whether the T-44 ever saw action during WW2. In WW2 terms a...
sa tiger, Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505 in Russia summer 1943? Nice battalion. Later on fom late 1943 they painted the Charging Knight emblem...
But Skua, the IS-2 had a miserable ammo load and a slower rate of fire. In a prolonged tank v tank engagement against quality German armour the...
Oh no, I'm not saying that France is of no importance. Of course it is. I'm just saying that Britain is a notch higher and the historical legacy...
Maybe he means 'continental' Europe? The U.K is politically more important than France or Germany on a world level. Aside from the recent part the...
I'd like to hear more about Far East armoured clashes. I know zilch!! All I know is flame thrower tanks were used widely but that's about it! :(
Well I'll tell ya, the Isle Of Wight would NEVER have caved in! :grin: We would have made Stalingrad seem like a vicar's cake party! :bang:
I can vouch for that. I have a very close friend in Dallas, and when I came on to this subject about Irish Americans helping to fund Irish...
Sorry I meant WW2 production not post war as well.
Well Roel, by the time the SU 85 first appeared in combat the T34/85 didn't exist so the SU 85 DID have a bigger gun than any T34 at the time....
Nice pics Roel. I always liked the SU 100 and SU 85. Great TDs!! :D
Ok, we'll say that then. :D There were PLENTY of Irish living in England collecting funds for the IRA in places like London and other big...
In that case then YES Skua that was a better anti tank gun and a better all round gun than the IS-2's 122mm. No doubt about it. It had ample HE...
