Every crap tank wasn't a training tank
Look at Japan and Italy
ok ok so he's a fookin rebellious RoI bugger who went to the US
I still like him
I'll have to say the Germans were smart in using Czech tankses
They used them until they became obsolete
dammit out of limoncello
Then they made the Hetzer from them
What good reason was there to not implement the Pershing?
The Shermans were having tons of issues with subpar armor and penetration.
lack of numbers lack of improvement over what could be produced in far superior numbers and lack of logistic trains behind it
Which would have been ameliorated if production wasn't shelved.
>lack of numbers
basically, if you listen to The Chieftan
**Centurion**
The chieftain
no, the pershing came in too late for it to be produced in decent numbers before being deployed
Dont watch him but I watch MHV and TIK
The Pershing was a good idea, you'll have to admit.
The American industry could make a lot of Shermans
So it was a good idea to begin the production of it
The Pershing came in too late *because it was deliberately shelved*.
Also, the Pershing did prove its worth in Korea
The design was ready to go by 42-43.
The Pershings out matched the Soviet T-34-85
the pershing was shelved because it was too late and could not be fielded in sufficient numbers WITH ITS LOGISTIC TRAIN to be of any significant improvement over what else could be produced
I'll have to say, the German TDs were quite scary
dunno, never met any
have you?
No, but in the perspective of WW2
dunno, not a historian, and wasnt in WW2, where you?
seriously I'd listen to the chieftan, he goes over the pershing myth. also tank destroyers
he's also someone who has studied the era, and is a current tanker ...
I'm gonna continue.
German TDs varied a lot
thats fine but I'm still out of booze unless I hit the whisky which I want to keep for NY
and the port
Some were barely produced, Dicker Max and Jagdtiger
for which i am probably too drunk to appreciate
Some were mass produced, Stug III/IV and Hetzer
