The commander hatch was fucking retarded.
It was
thats what I meant by potential
rofl
It was a screw type, so you had to screw and un screw to get out. It took like 20 seconds to get out.
Sherman was like 4 seconds.
Comet was like forever if you were the poor loader tho lmao
an issue with a lot of german tanks tbh
Yeah survivability was lended to armor thickness and trust of that, rather than good escape means
Is that a mk1 or 2 landship?
mk 5
Ah
it has a male gun at least
cant tell from other side
but still, they didnt have the resources to compete with the allies using the PZIV, especially considering they were fighting the russians
I mean Panzer IV was the most common one, and versus the M4A3 series it was pretty outmatched
It was very good early war
yeah
it ended up getting outpaced so they converted them to Stugs
which was genius
Would have been easier to mount additonal armor and improve the rounds for the gun then trying to make a new tank.
Or go balls deep in the panther II project and ignore other heavies
agreed
but still
Its always better to improve what you got then to make new things
they would be vastly outnumbered no matter what
so they had to brudge the gap
It was said the IS-2 actually killed one of the Maus at the factory
So there goes that armor.
and the PZIV couldnt bridge the gap
well if you shoot them with specialized rounds
I always liked that story about the T34, the guy tried to sell the design to the US and they were like "Nah, that's way too big" so he sold it to Russia
