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

fia

but because of the war

fair*

Panther if it had time to have the teething problems sorted before being rushed east.

As a design I know they ment well
