I also am of the opinion that the US needed heavy tanks during ww2 and the Jumbo fit the roll very nicely. All of the other combatants had heavy...
I have to state my opinion that the US should have stuck to improving the Sherman instead of trying to develop different tank models. The...
Thanks von Poop, I've read alot of your posts. I've read these forums for years but only just recently felt like I might be able to add something....
Look at this monster. Looks like something from a Mad Max movie. Not bad for a field modification though. The side turret armor looks pretty beefy.
I see many commenters on this thread writing things that might have a reader who didn't know better thinking that the Sherman Jumbo wasn't...
The reason why the infantry gets left behind many times is because they get pinned down by artillery fire. The tanks are relatively immune to...
It definitely had bugs that needed to be worked out. Allied tankers would probably soil themselves if they met one head to head. Strategically it...

Thanks Rich more fuel for the " allied soldiers thought every German tank was a Tiger" narrative. Not trying to give you homework but can you...
Thanks for the correction Rich I misinterpreted an article i read that said that most TD officers were former artillery officers. It's an...
In the Sims I play B-17s are the best weapons for anti ship missions are you trying to tell me they weren't... Lol just kidding
I wouldn't argue against anything you've written here but I do believe allied airs effectiveness went up appreciably as the pilots assigned to do...
