armor treating is an issue with later models*
It had those issues from day one.
Didn't the Germans try to confuse the Americans by putting US Army on their tanks?
no
PZIV has more potential once they upped it to a HV gun.
og armor was good
they then switched it to ceramic
which made it shite
The sprockets were fucked and did not last long. Yes it was good in thickness in angle.
and*
It was too tall, making the armor less effective since any american nigger with a M36 Jackson could fuck it from a mile away.
Sloped armour sacrifices room inside the turret
It was slow to reverse as well.
it outranged the Jackson
bc of the long 75
The gun was arguably worse than the 90mm M3.
Mate wat
it had the same effective range as a tiger
Did have good pentration though.
Shit I know that one
I think it was.
BT-7
fast ass tank
That’s it
BT
it was perfect for the smaller tanks the allies fielded
88 was overkill on Shermans and Hellcats
Not really overkill.
and the short 75 lacked range
Working with what they had
88 on the tiger could struggle with angled M4A3s
^
on a poor hit
but that can happen with literally any hit
Plus the M4A3 76 could kill them.
Within 2,000 metres it wouldn't
Panther was a good *idea* if that makes sense.
I understand
Its implimentation was poor not on the fault of engineers
Heavy tanks were mostly bygone even during the war
