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 😄

How many Centurions were used to **any** effectivity in 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

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

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

Some with minor improvements

pfft

improved shermans

I'm talking about the M3 Lee and M3 Grant

*chokes on his limoncello*
