I am sorry that I seemed to have upset so many people by saying that, I was just making the point I wasn't taking into consideration the crews but that the people in the tanks were just equal...



First of all, I know everything you are talking about with the Panther and other German tanks, I just didn't want to get into the Panther but rather focus on the Sherman and T-34. The thing is that the those tanks did not go slow at all (except for the tiger which still wasn't that slow), the Jagdpanther ad the Panther went faster than a lot of other tanks including the Sherman. Another thing though, I don't feel that the Sherman was the worst tank of the war, nor do I have any special feelings towards German tanks, I just think the Jagdtiger looks cool.

And as for my name being JagdtigerI not II, that is just becase JagdtigerII was taken.
Weeeee, here we go

The Jagptiger was a useless weapon anyway, and if I remember correctly on'y 25 were built and used in combat, prone to mechanical problems, slow (as usual), high fuel consumption (as usual), the same interlocking tracks as the panther (clogging), and basically against infantry it was eaisly overrun and had mines or charges attached to the tracks or engine, thats just of the top of my head.
