Yeah, but who knows. You could end up doing something even cooler fighting another righteous war.

Plus freezing and starving in Bastogne didn't look all that fun

Also fast as fuck (for a tank of the time)

Designers put what was essentially a spitfire engine in a tank for maximum speed. The armour sucked compared to a t-34, but how many other tanks can fly?

wasn't the cromwell the tank that set that record jumping an irrigation trench or something?

The BT-7 and a multitude of other tanks and tankettes

>>30118187
Yes, but it was a training vehicle that had somehow been issued to a line unit and they found this fact out when a German AA wagon pit some rounds into them and when they checked it later they noticed that the bullets were sticking in the armor.

The crew decided they still wanted to keep it even though it had Panzer II levels of armor.

Back to BoB - still disappointed they didn't show the 'Winters has a bridge blow up 10 metres in front of him' moment. Even A Bridge Too Far had that

The beret should have been a giveaway.
