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.
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
still think the TDs were a waste of time but that probably reflects modern thinking
well, probably from 1950s onwards thinking
The Hetzer was not a waste of time.
since TDs disappeared pretty qucikly after WW2
The Hetzer was very cost-effective
TDs dissapeared because of hand held AT weaponry and there not being so many tanks to shoot at.
introduction of capable anti tank missiles probably
That as well.
But if another big conflict came into play
And a lot of tanks would be used
not so many tanks to shoot at?! errrrrrrrr davy crocket a-10 milan law viper and apache
The TDs would be right around the corner, being built by every great power
dobut it
Do you now?
