The Panther could destroy a Firefly at twice that range, because the frontal armour on the Firefly was only 50-76mm.plan_D said:And I see your another one that just states numbers without looking at the combat potential. The IS-2 had 120mm frontal armour, which looks impressive but it was crap! The Panther could destroy it at 800 m with a direct hit when the Soviets claimed it was invincible.
Did ypu know that until late September 44 the Firefly was only equipped with AP ammo, it was only after that, that the Firefly received HE ammo.Bringing all aspects of a tank (manuverability, ease of produce, durability, chance of strike, armament, armour, fuel consumption etc.) the Firefly could still be argued as the best of both Soviet and Allied armies.
