Seems both of these points are spot-on. We have what we have in terms of sources. At this point, not much "new" information about WW2 is coming...
Indeed. Became a pointless, circular argument a while back. And with one of the main "arguers" presenting nothing other than hyperbole and...
Jagdpanther- good info, and more good pics! :cheers:
Wow- awesome stuff, jagdpanther. That second set of pics (which are of bunker 132, if I understand correctly?) are great. Nice clear view of the...
Really, I think the only way to get DMCH the info he needs is for Papabyrd to set up a firing demonstration at his place. And a BBQ. I'll bring...
Read that piece earlier today. Scary indeed. Though I wouldn't say suprising, at all. And, I'd imagine this is only the tip of the iceberg....
That is one odd-looking vehicle! Quick google search shows 1.56 tons- wow, seems rather on the heavy side for such a small vehicle. Wonder if...
:lol: That description gave me a chuckle; though, I can't really question the accuracy of the last two points! Nothing much else to add other...
Very impressive stuff! Especially the bunker... very good thing that 5 of them have not been destroyed. Was there any evidence of wartime damage...
Great point. I've read much the same, and that would be a knock on the design- and a common one for German tanks. Overly complex systems that...
I'd forgive her for that one. ;)
I'd be interested in some more info on that bit. On the basic level, it would seem that the design of the Tiger I accomodated repair and...
Exactly. There's an obvious level of difficulty in maintaining and repairing a heavy tank. But if we use that as a judgement on the worth of...
Doh! Should have read that more closely. Shows how much (not very!) I know about modern armor! Seems I should stick with my Tigers and whatnot!...
I'd think if we're actually talking about a combat situation, this whole topic is a non-starter. The technology gap is just too huge. For me, I...
True- and I would think that even a WW2-era gun could likely damage the tracks on a modern tank enough to immobilize it. In that case, maybe even...
This was entirely true- though not really due to issues that effected the "mechanical value" of the Tiger I in terms of a battle tank. Much more...
This is exactly what I was getting at earlier in the thread (I think it was this thread, anyway!). Though- that's a bit of a brave jump to...
Syscom3- I've heard some good things about the Big Sky brews, and IPAs are one of my favorite styles. Unfortunately, Big Sky beers don't make it...
Actually, Wiley is very much correct. The mobility "problems" with the Tiger I have been greatly exagerated by many casual and uninformed...
