    Best Tank of WW2

    "So, as a general statement it probably does make sense to go for the Taurus under most circumstances. And similar conclusions can be drawn for the German tank arm in a lot of circumstances". Yes, a better car for the circumstances, but not THE better car. I'm upset that there are vets...

    Best Tank of WW2

    Of 200 of a brand new type, without the bugs having had a chance to be found, they destroyed 267 of the Russian tanks. Moreso, the Russians didn't destroy the German tanks, their own mechanical issues destroyed them. Take a look back at 1941 and the teething problems of the T-34, took a couple...

    Best Tank of WW2

    ...by the same logic, Ford Taurus must be better than Ferarri Enzo because there's 10,000,000 Taurus' on the road vs 500 Enzos. Since Ford can make so many cars, I guess the Enzo just isn't really that good of a car...especially how frequent the maintence requirements are. Yet, going from New...

    Best Tank of WW2

    By your wording, youd rather be with 70 T-72s vs an Abrahms line of 33 tanks. Even if 2/3rds of the Abrahms malfunction, you would expect to live? Now, back to what you were saying....Air support is not around, 'tis a fight to the death... Hello Iraq circa 1990s, NOTHING IN WW2 WAS EQUAL TO A...

    Best Tank of WW2

    The question is what is the best tank. Given equal resources, not being bombed day and night, there is no doubt the Germans would've had twice the numbers in battle as there were. the numbers alone are staggering. It took damn near the entire modernized world to stop the Germans and their damned...

    Best Tank of WW2

    You are going into battle against other tanks. You are not concerned with how many tanks are made, you are concerned with staying alive. My Tiger, manually traversing the turret, will blow you up before you get close enough to kill me. The Panther had a better gun, perhaps better frontal...
