Default Re: Top 10 tanks of the war

Yes indeed I agree.
Huge differences throughout the war in one type of tank(s).
The "Top" was everyones soft spot. A half inch thick (if not open)(mesh or thin plating atop half-tracks/armored cars/some (home-job) TDs, on "most" types ?
Ammo types are significant also, availability, distribution, effect, and type of target. Crew quality/training, Commanders, mission type.
So many little things that mean so much
Molotov Cocktails, WP, even smoke grenades (on intakes) work well too. Aircraft with a 50 cal (or bigger) can ruin your day.
A tough question to ask/answer, unless one defines a "specific" day, for tomorrow....the answer may be different.
As pilots say..."It only takes one (damn near anything)(Seagulls included) in the right spot, (The Golden BB) to take you out."
No matter what you have.
