So what was the best?
Panther. And Tiger is nearby two.
-
Panther and king tiger
-
I'm shocked. I was sure you would say sherman.
-
sherman is ugly.
-
So you didn't vote it because it's ugly. and it had nothing to do with the fact that is was one the worse tanks in the war compared to the number built and popularity it got?
-
Panther, but you forgot pershing.
-
I didn't took it because it came so late in war.
-
panther because it nice well made tank
-
you got that one right.
And why does germans name their tanks after cat animal? Are they gonna form a zoo out of them?
-
Shcwalbe in ME 262 Schwalbe means swallow.
-
262 ain't a tank.
-
Swallow is a bird and ME 262 is German, I was giving an example for German vehicles with animal names.
-
aah. my mistake. yep the do use lots of animals.
-
like Focke-Wulf
-
Was? das is ist nicht ein animal
-
I was hoping you knew.
-
If it was a pure one on one battle, king tiger
if we are talking about them in WW2, id say the T-34
-
yep king tiger was a beast. None of them was during a battle. all that germans lost was due to maintenance problems and running out of fuel and that kind of stuff
-
And they had serious manufacturing issues
-
yes because allies bombed germanys factories.
-
Thats not it, the factories in perfect condition weren't built to produce alot in a little amount of time
-
yes but mostly because allies bombed everything. railroads, factories everything.
-
The bombings probably saved the allied armies.
-
Thats like saying the military won the war
-
Well it did.
-
T-34
Was
the
best
Tank
in
the
war
it
was
the
best
ballenced between armor Fire power and speed and manuvarability
-
I would not use the word balanced, I would use all-around.
-
T-34
Was
the
best
Tank
in
the
war
it
was
the
best
ballenced between armor Fire power and speed and manuvarability
I have to disagree. Panther had the best balance between armor, gun and mobility. Hell it could destroy T-34 from an distance of 1km. And Tiger could do that from 1.5km
-
The reason T-34 was so good because it had okay armor and weapons, good speed, but most importantly very easy to make
-
so was Panther. problem in german tanks was the lack of fuel.
-
that was only a real problem in Africa and the late stages of the war
-
yep. And Panther entered service in 1943. which is after Africa and is late war.
-
Good point
-
yeah.
