thats fine but I'm still out of booze unless I hit the whisky which I want to keep for NY

2018-12-26 02:21:36 UTC  

and the port

2018-12-26 02:21:40 UTC  

Some were barely produced, Dicker Max and Jagdtiger

2018-12-26 02:21:46 UTC  

for which i am probably too drunk to appreciate

2018-12-26 02:22:04 UTC  

Some were mass produced, Stug III/IV and Hetzer

2018-12-26 02:22:17 UTC  

But most of them did their job well

2018-12-26 02:22:52 UTC  

Ok I dont know anything about tanks lol so I'll just watch this

2018-12-26 02:23:04 UTC  

Some of the bigger ones like Jagdtigers and Jagdpanthers faced many of the same problems that their "parent" tanks did

2018-12-26 02:23:28 UTC  

German engineering was flawed in general

2018-12-26 02:23:51 UTC  

While Stug III/IVs and Hetzers did not since they were built on tankses with generally few problems

2018-12-26 02:23:55 UTC  

wtf, panzer 3 escape hatch is behind shelving and storage boxes?!

2018-12-26 02:24:22 UTC  

There were also prototypes like the Dicker Max that there were only 2 prototypea of

2018-12-26 02:24:30 UTC  

But a Dicker Max **did** see combat

2018-12-26 02:24:44 UTC  

woopy, single td

2018-12-26 02:24:56 UTC  

held back the soviets coming through the fulda right?

2018-12-26 02:24:59 UTC  

And I believe when the Soviets caught it, it had 50 kills.

2018-12-26 02:25:21 UTC  

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

2018-12-26 02:26:14 UTC  

Then there were the Ferdinands and Elefants

2018-12-26 02:26:14 UTC  

Empiricism is commie propaganda.

2018-12-26 02:26:28 UTC  

Which were so bad

2018-12-26 02:26:38 UTC  

That they could catch fire when going up a hill

2018-12-26 02:27:03 UTC  

The weight was just too great

2018-12-26 02:27:28 UTC  

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

2018-12-26 02:28:35 UTC  

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

2018-12-26 02:28:55 UTC  

The biggest problems were allied fighter-bombers

2018-12-26 02:29:02 UTC  

And their logistical problems

2018-12-26 02:29:07 UTC  

still think the TDs were a waste of time but that probably reflects modern thinking

2018-12-26 02:29:18 UTC  

well, probably from 1950s onwards thinking

2018-12-26 02:29:19 UTC  

The Hetzer was not a waste of time.

2018-12-26 02:29:31 UTC  

since TDs disappeared pretty qucikly after WW2

2018-12-26 02:29:38 UTC  

The Hetzer was very cost-effective

2018-12-26 02:30:13 UTC  

TDs dissapeared because of hand held AT weaponry and there not being so many tanks to shoot at.

2018-12-26 02:30:19 UTC  

introduction of capable anti tank missiles probably

2018-12-26 02:30:30 UTC  

That as well.

2018-12-26 02:30:42 UTC  

But if another big conflict came into play

2018-12-26 02:30:50 UTC  

And a lot of tanks would be used

2018-12-26 02:31:02 UTC  

not so many tanks to shoot at?! errrrrrrrr davy crocket a-10 milan law viper and apache

2018-12-26 02:31:06 UTC  

The TDs would be right around the corner, being built by every great power

2018-12-26 02:31:11 UTC  

dobut it

2018-12-26 02:31:34 UTC  

Do you now?

2018-12-26 02:31:40 UTC  

very much so
