Actually according to studies I've read this is not the case. What drops a person wounded with a bullet (unless their brains are blown out of...
They probably could tell you were from Pa. I was born in NJ and act the part. LOL.
As I recall I entered the turret climbed up a set of ladder stairs and then stepped to the side 2-3 feet. Hanging down from the turret ceiling...
I took the tour of the U.S.S. New Jersey a few weeks ago and was curious about the sighting mechanism in the one of the 16" turrets. I looked...
Interesting thread. Two points that I would like to share...One is that part of the reason for the failure of TD doctrine was that no one...
The French AMX 10RC mounts a 105mm with excellent armor penetrating capability though its role is considered armor support and recon.

I should go on record as saying I don't believe Guderian to be the end all of German genrals, or even a great commander. He had his faults...no...

I was shown a website by a member of another forum a few years back that offered comparisons of major BB's of Japan, Germany, France, Britain, US...

It has occurred to me that I have not come to gain a full appreciation of the development of SP artillery, which is certainly an important part of...
