Find some shit fo' yo'
This might
*m i g h t*
open your eyes on quite a few things about the raw combat capability of the M4
haha, did not expect to find help 😄
Green = no pen
Now lets flip that over
Even with the short US 75mm:
anyhoo, chase me up on it later
is this what you always butt heads about the M4 then?
many things
but a lot of people will start with 'on-paper' arguments
nevermind that tanks don't fight each other in a vacuum
You've heard the Ronson thing too, I presume
ya
heh.
yeah, I'll do some digging later on
If I can find which folder(s) they are in
its in my notes, lol
Suffice to say the M4 didn't appear to be any more susceptible to burning or catching fire as any other tank
Besides, getting hit with an armour piercing high explosive shell would usually lead to the crew having a bad day in any case
And ironically because the M4 got this reputatoin they developed wet stowage for the ammunition
FUCK THIS GAY EARTH
which arguably led to it being one of the least fire-prone tanks to be in
Has Death Traps been properly debunked or should i consider writing an argument against it after research?
interesting question
WHY IS COLIN KAEPERNICK ON THE SAME LEVEL AS NELSON MANDELA AND MALALA
END MY LIFE
HE DID JACK SHIT
I think it could be argued that many people have debunked it, but whether or not there has been some sort of 'official' debunk is another thing
suffice to say that it was written by a guy who worked at repair depots
and only got to see tanks sent there after being salvaged from the battlefield
his job was to fix broken shit
it's still an interesting memoir
ill have to watch it now
but that's all I'd take it as
A memoir
with his own opinions thrown in as to how he thought things should be done
If I recall he played a part in the 'development' of the M26E4
