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
But also make heavies that could rival the famous German tanks
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
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
But most of them did their job well
Ok I dont know anything about tanks lol so I'll just watch this
Some of the bigger ones like Jagdtigers and Jagdpanthers faced many of the same problems that their "parent" tanks did
German engineering was flawed in general
While Stug III/IVs and Hetzers did not since they were built on tankses with generally few problems
wtf, panzer 3 escape hatch is behind shelving and storage boxes?!
There were also prototypes like the Dicker Max that there were only 2 prototypea of
But a Dicker Max **did** see combat
woopy, single td
held back the soviets coming through the fulda right?
And I believe when the Soviets caught it, it had 50 kills.
