As long as it ran.

it was a design that was quick to produce, was manoeuvrable (more so than tigers) , had a good enough gun (despite US fuck ups in deploying the 76s too late to theatre based on the experience of their african campaigns) and easy to maintain

2018-12-26 02:02:49 UTC  

easily the best non british allied tank out there

2018-12-26 02:03:34 UTC  

>Non british allied tank

2018-12-26 02:03:46 UTC  

British tanks were too little too late.

2018-12-26 02:03:56 UTC  

The Cromwell was put into use in 44

2018-12-26 02:05:03 UTC  

yup

2018-12-26 02:05:24 UTC  

you might have guessed though, I'm British ;P

2018-12-26 02:05:27 UTC  

The British tank divisions mostly relied on American tanks that were shipped over

2018-12-26 02:05:34 UTC  

Some with minor improvements

2018-12-26 02:05:35 UTC  

pfft

2018-12-26 02:05:39 UTC  

improved shermans

2018-12-26 02:05:54 UTC  

I'm talking about the M3 Lee and M3 Grant

2018-12-26 02:06:08 UTC  

*chokes on his limoncello*

2018-12-26 02:06:21 UTC  

I was talking about the M4 sherman

2018-12-26 02:06:30 UTC  

screw the lee and grants

2018-12-26 02:06:31 UTC  

And yes; I realized you were British at the very start when you talked about Britain and the British as **we**

2018-12-26 02:06:50 UTC  

well every civilised person is british .. or rebellious irish

2018-12-26 02:06:56 UTC  

or dominion

2018-12-26 02:07:21 UTC  

not sure if we really count the quebecois as dominion, they speak french dontchaknow

2018-12-26 02:07:29 UTC  

Britains best time in creating tankses was in WW1

2018-12-26 02:07:45 UTC  

In WW2 they were behind until they came up with the idea for the MBT

2018-12-26 02:07:50 UTC  

Which they did not master.

2018-12-26 02:08:17 UTC  

And damn whoever stonewalled the Pershing to hell.

2018-12-26 02:08:22 UTC  

Used to remember his name, I forget it now.

2018-12-26 02:08:34 UTC  

eh, we had a few good tanks in WW2

2018-12-26 02:08:43 UTC  

matilda, churchill, centurion

2018-12-26 02:08:44 UTC  

;P

2018-12-26 02:08:52 UTC  

and modified the shermans

2018-12-26 02:09:10 UTC  

pershing was stone walled for a very good reason

2018-12-26 02:09:25 UTC  

and the guy who did it IIRC was an artillery guy?

2018-12-26 02:09:32 UTC  

but the reason was very sound

2018-12-26 02:09:55 UTC  

Matilda 1 or 2?

2018-12-26 02:10:32 UTC  

eh, dont recall which one but I've not heard bad about the matilda as an infantry tank

2018-12-26 02:10:41 UTC  

2 then

2018-12-26 02:10:47 UTC  

possibly

2018-12-26 02:10:50 UTC  

The 2 saw most use I believe

2018-12-26 02:11:05 UTC  

IIRC even the soviets liked the matilda

2018-12-26 02:11:09 UTC  

Maus was best Tank in WW2 😛

2018-12-26 02:11:12 UTC  

And I am quite fond of the II, which most people just refer to as Matilda

2018-12-26 02:11:19 UTC  

@Stefan Payne Go away Wehraboo
