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

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.

riiiiight on that claim I would want to see as much evidence as can be provided

Then there were the Ferdinands and Elefants

Empiricism is commie propaganda.

Which were so bad

That they could catch fire when going up a hill

The weight was just too great

Especially on the Elefant since the Elefant is litteraly only a Ferdinand with extra armor and a machine gun

The big TDs, or generally any big German tankses did bad in the end of the war

The biggest problems were allied fighter-bombers

And their logistical problems
