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
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
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?
very much so
Tell me a conventional way to take out an enemy tank 10 KMs away.
I'll simulate it.
F-35
😃
Shot down by enemy ground to air missile.
oh well
Continue.

so, back to reality
