If Im not mistaken, the Stuart and Hellcat had the same setup, although with gasoline. I think the reputation of the engines is tied more to the...
Just because I say a single German tank was the most survivable does not mean I am a German fanboy. In fact, I spend much of my time on other...
Yes, that is correct. its not quite two dozen, but its several times the height of a tank. That was the entire point, as someone else was claiming...
How exactly is that an argument against the Tiger being survivable? OMG, its vulnerable to the side from the most powerful western gun? What a...
I see a lot of tanks for sale from private individuals in Michigan. They have a lot of them up there, most towns have one or more. The largest...
The one I am talking about was from the Bulge. I could be wrong about it being shipped to the US, but it sure as hell was captured intact and...
You are correct, but this proves my point even further. Even with a flight time of 2 seconds, the difference in trajectory is going to be several...
To correct myself, it was a smoke round which caused the Germans to flee. Someone just posted about this on the Darkest hour forums including...
So when they post sources which counteract their own claims, then I should still consider these sources? So someone got 8 hits on a Tiger and it...
The Valentine had either a 2 pounder or 6 pounder, and the 6 pounder was able to penetrate a Tiger at very short ranges. They have in fact done so...
So how exactly do they soviets only get 4% accuracy at 2000m if its so certain? The muzzle velocity starts at 1000m/s in most tanks of the era...
With respect, I recall the Patton walking all over T-55 and Centurion until they were slaughtered in close combat. The range finders did work...
I disagree with this completely. Just because you are louder does not make you correct. How exactly do you disagree with the Tiger being more...
There is quite a difference between someone who says they saw a UFO in a secret desert base, and someone who can produce paperwork which proves...
It happens, but it would only make sense to put the 105 in if you are going to do all that work. I wonder why they didnt. Perhaps its because the...
Not to be a jerk, but I highly doubt that source. We would need to see the sources for the Russian source which was used, and I have a feeling it...
Sorry to spoil this for you, but the Jumbo had the plain 75mm. Some were given 76mm in the field, as the Jumbo used the T-2x turret which was used...
Im not sure where youve seen these prices, but western military equipment is rather cheap. You can get many of them in good shape for less than...
In France for example, the Germans ran on a logistical shoestring and often utilized captured supplies like fuel (filling their tanks and vehicles...
To answer the OP more directly, the Americans created many prototypes which were superior to the Sherman, but the production was still pretty low...
