been on this planet for 150K years, and its starting to show right
The T-34 was the best for the Soviets because of their mass assault doctrine
Yeah, can't pass on that extra division width.
Tankses like the Panther were the best for the Germans because of their fuel shortages
Extra recruitable population, too.
german tanks had major issues
Of course they did, they were over engineered
logistical nightmares
They suffered breakdowns
Hard to repair
hand made
But when one worked
It really made the enemy shake.
meh, panthers were good adesign gvie you that
rest, evolutionary dead ends
like a lot of their allied counterparts to be fair
tigers, waste of resources
If I was a Soviet tanker in 1944/45 and I saw a Tiger II for the first time, I'd get out of my tank and run.
depends, if the tiger was looking eslewhere and you werent making a frontal assault , that tiger is dead
still say the centurion was the best tank design of WW2 😄
tiger and tiger II design philosophy died a decade after WW2
doesnt matter dammit
they were deployed before the end of WW2
by a few months
thats all that counts ¬.¬
best fucking design from WW2, EVAH
Maybe the best **design**.
But not the best in operation.
sherman was likely the best mass produced tank of WW2
In many regards, yes
and before you complain about it being petrol, british shermans were diesals
I don't care what fuel it ran on
and, most strikes that set a petrol sherman alight would have destroyed a diesal sherman too
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
easily the best non british allied tank out there
>Non british allied tank
British tanks were too little too late.
The Cromwell was put into use in 44
yup
