Well played sir, well played! I sure hope the mods don't sack this thread!
Great shot. Really conveys how claustrophic and inhospitable the fighting in Hurtgen must have been, with the clear evidence of how much flora...
I'd like to comment on this bit (not to suggest the rest isn't very interesting stuff, but I'm supposed to be "working"!)... though as with Artem,...
not too familiar with Ambrose's works, but I'd say that's definitely an over-simplification. Based on the numbers Slipdigit found- the Sherman...
Great thread. Normandy may have turned into a battle of attrition due to poor or muddled Allied planning and execution, but it was a war of...
One testicle or not, it's been a ball reading this thread. Honestly, I just wanted to use the opportunity to semi-legitimately use those two...
Seems that TA should have some sort of handicap in this thread... ;) You've gotta make two intentionally incorrect guesses before you can...
Very cool! The quality and condition of the vehicles is impressive- though with two Tigers, would be hard for it NOT to be impressive! I like...
A heavily modified Vickers Carden-Loyd Tankette? :confused:
Very well said. And indeed an interesting discussion. The notion of some overall, grand scale "German superiority"- as your original post...

World of Tanks — Free-To-Play Panzer MMO Game, Promo Web-Site Part action game, part massive online game. All tanks. Sounds like a good...
Whereas unlike the theoretical, abstract equipment comparisons- this would be more apt as a valid, grounded comparison in terms of the overall...
Indeed- it is something of a "bullsh#t" comparison, as like you note, the one-on-one, similar terrain, no surprise advantage tank battles were...
This would seem to make sense- I would imagine even the self propelled artillery would still be behind the lines to some extent, while the Stugs...
West Ham wins in the first friendly of the season... next up, 1st place in the Premiership! :metalhead: :lol:
So wait, I can get yellow-carded? Damn, I've missed all the good stuff! Does being a West Ham fan mean I get one automatically? :D
Indeed- I was talking the former, just tanks. One of the things I focused a lot of study on- armored fighting vehicles. And since that's a...
You're tempting me to stray off topic, FJH- the Ferdinand/Elefant was one of the vehicles I studied a pretty good amount! ;) I would say that...
Hmm, good stuff. I would mostly agree... mostly. ;) For one thing- by that point in the war, you're entirely correct about general parity...
