Oh, and please note they are not EXACTLY the same, as the T-25 which ended up in the M-26 had far thicker armor. Otherwise, they were both...
The turret rings are indeed the same diameter of 69". When it comes to the turret itself, the turret sides appear flat in comparison to the...
Perhaps you would like to explain how you forgot to include that the preliminary drawings made in 1938 already had highly sloped armor, except...
Just because DB made their panther like the T-34 does not mean the MAN design had anything to do with the T-34. Thats like saying because the US...
Are they? What criteria are you using? Most important doesn't imply best either. Yes, both could have been replaced, but only later in the war....
Not again. German tanks in general had a 6:1 kill ratio, as did the Stug. The Stug was produced in larger numbers, therefore it had the most...
You are thinking WWI. The vast majority of fighting in WWII was infantry without fire support. Neither the Russians or the Germans had low level...
The Tiger. It could actually take a hit on the sides unlike the Panther. I dont know why people keep saying the Panther was well armored, because...
I apologize, and thanks for the info. I do recall some huge Marder-like 128 armed TD that saw action, it was extremely poorly armored. I cant...
I do not believe so, that would be an airframe issue, and the 262 was delayed substantially by its engines. "Sad" thing is, it would have only...
When it comes to return for any given resource, the MG-42 is the best weapon of WWII. Millions were made, and they killed millions. They were...
This is obviously a very emotional post, because you missed the entire premise of the first paragraph, and you answer your own question the second...
The Germans didnt "realize" they couldnt make many tanks. When Albert Speer visited the factories his first time, he saw that they ran only one 8...
Man I hate posts like this. The tanks are physically ALMOST identical, but the Sherman has vastly superior soft features. The guns are for all...
Unfortunately, this picture was mislabeled. This tank was hit four times by 76 or 17 pounder rounds, and the craters can be seen very clearly at...
Thats the thing, the new 76mm turret was the same as that of the T-23 which later modified into the T-25 and used on the Pershing. All the turrets...
I definitely agree that fuel was the biggest issue, especially seeing how it caused the vast majority of losses. Thats really one of the reasons I...
That is only a half truth, you will notice that it is about 8% less resistant for any given BHN, but they never made cast parts FLEXIBLE enough to...
"ONLY" a 1.3:1 kill ratio??!!!! That would probably be the highest of any anti tank weapon on the Allied side! Im sure anyone in their right mind...
When it comes to HE, the 57mm had 1.1 pounds compared to 1.8 pounds for the 75, yet the 76 had 0.9lbs, so it was still relatively effective. The...
