Eastern Front, particularly 1943 to 1945 post Stalingrad.
That's not really true. Even the sides (though vertical) had 80 mm upper hull side armour. That's as thick as the later model Panzer IV front...
Well........... .....I don't know about the biggest 'tank battle' but certainly the most interesting period from an armour warfare point of view...
No worries. No problem. I think the Jagdpanzer IV was an excellent 'beast' itself. Looks damn cool too. There were circa 769 Jagdpanzer IV (L/48)...
Isherman. That picture of the Isherman just reinforced my opinion.......my favourite Sherman version EVER! :D
Thanks. Thank you very much Michael. Those figures tally up spot on with Zaloga's figures in his books. I guess that's where he got them from....
Numbers Can you please tell me what he details he gives for Soviet tank production? I'm really interested. How many T34/76s does he give...
Tiger mockups. Was it the same mock up Tiger used in Band Of Brothers? Also, anybody know what happened to the Tiger mockups used in Kelly's...
I think you mean Jagdpanzer IV? The Jagdpanther wasn't produced at the cost of ditching the Pz IV. The Panzer IV was produced right up until near...
Great. Good stuff Ricky. :D
Pre 1944 tanks were still used if available. The Soviets still used KV1s and T34 model 1943s in front line operations up until the war's end....
Figures. What are the figures Bean and Fowler/Krivosheev give for Soviet tank/SPG production during WW2, numbers of pre WW2 armour available (at...
Kills. What is also worth pointing out is that even though the claims for Tiger 'kills' are circa 10,000, in actual reality (as I mentioned...
Read the last part of my line. I also wrote 'inactive'. That would include the points you raised. Ok, let's add another 10,000 (a far too high...
This subject has come up recently, particulary the numbers of Soviet tanks ko'd or destroyed during WW2. I checked through Steve Zaloga's...
You're right Roel. I don't think it can be proven either way and I did in fact write in my first post "Adding up the total scores for each unit,...
Thaks. I wondered why the quotes were not coming up properly. I must've ticked that box by mistake unknowingly.
Whooooo, slow down. No need to have a 'tone' here. Please. Yes and the word 'general' means "Including or affecting or applicable to all or most...
???? Do you think 508's claim of only around 100 enemy tanks ko'd during the entire combat life of that unit is exaggerated by 100%? Do you...
What do you base that on Christian? I don't think the claims of only circa 100 ko's for Schwere Panzer Abteilung 508 are exaggerated...and that...
