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
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
'super pershing'
hindsight is 20/20 when you have a machine thats been thoroughly stress-tested
which was basically a Pershing with panther armour thrown onto the turret face and boilerplate welded onto the hull front
changed out the gun too
whats your fav tank
which then had to be counterbalanced by slapping more weight onto the rear of the hull
and the recoil springs could only fit on the outside of the turret 👌
hmm
tough question
i picked sherman after asking a friend
don't know if I have a #1 off the top of my head
i think its a really good one to start with
Sherman is up there though
After once upon a time thinking it was shit
and generic and bland and 'not cool'
Guess I was just another Pantherboi
