Judging by their performance in the middle east being blown up by RPGs would an Abrams even stand a chance against the Tiger tank used by the waffen SS nazi germans?

It is well known that RPGs like the bazooka couldn't get through the Tiger's thick armor on WWII.
>>
>>34180925
Abrams would get shrekt due to the superior genes of the Nazis.

Pretty much. The tiger is the pinnacle of tank design, practically invincible, the terror of the battlefield, the Abrams wouldn't stand a chance, much less a leopard 2.

A Tiger would turn an Abrams to scrap metal.

Shermans burned a lot because they used gas instead of diesel.

The Abrams uses JET FUEL

think about that for a second...

Ask any black man on the street and he will tell you that looks > ability. Its never how good you are, its how good you LOOK doing it.

The Abrams is basically a ricer tank. It pretends to be a Tiger but really it's just a bodykit over a Sherman. They even reused Shermans that had been knocked out in Europe to make most of the early Abrams.

The Tiger II sucked so badly that it couldn't even measure up against the T-55 during the brief period it was being used by the jews. It's a meme tank.

So many nazi fanboys in this thread- Hey wehraboos, if your tank was soooo good then why'd the nazis lose the war?
Also OP is a faggot
>Modern MBT vs WWII era tank
>DU penetration rounds
>DU armor
>Modern targeting equipment
A tiger would literally get destroyed in seconds of coming in contact with an M1. Even if it could land a hit on the M1, its likely it would shrug it off considering it's modern armor. Not even a fair fight.
>>
>>34183624

>DU penetration rounds
Useless against the Tiger's thick armor, they only work against modern composites.
>DU armor
Useless against the Tiger's massive 88mm shells they would smash right through an Abrams and come out the other side, turning it into a massive barbecue just like its predecessors.
>>
>>34183703
>massive 88mm shells
you know the abrams has a 120mm gun right?
>turning it into a massive barbecue just like its predecessors.
shit on the sherman all you want, but a sherman isnt an abrams.
>muh thick armor
>only works against modern composites
sure buddy- I'm pretty sure a round designed around penetrating thick armor will still wreck some WWII era shit. Got any proof?
>>
>>34183928
Not that anon but:
Long rod kinetic rounds only work against modern composite armor made of several thin layers of armor, against a single thick, high-hardened Krupp steel plate, the tip of the round will break apart and the body bend sideway.
Modern shaped charge weapons are also useless because die sloped armor of the KT can disable any mechanical fuse, while the zimmerit coating can render any proximity fuses useless.
>>
The Abrams doesn't stand a chance just like the Shermans before it. Technology has stagnated since WWII in everything but IPhones.
>>
Is everyone in this thread retarded or is this some new meme.

The Abrams has something like 4x as thick armor has a Tiger II. 120mm vs 88mm main gun. 50.cal/coaxial vs 7.92mm.The Abrams engine is literally twice as powerful as the Tiger II.

They are also somehow the same weight, which is hilarious.

You retard, the Abrams is a descendant of the TIGER, it was largely designed by Germans and split off from the MBT-70 along with the Leopard II. The only modern vehicle that shares the original M1 Combat Car's lineage is some obscure South American tank.
>>
>>34180925
Obvious bait aside could the Tiger II's main gun penetrate the Abrahams and in that case what range and angle are we looking at?

Would a Panzerfaust 150 work on an abrams.

>>34185154
Retard alert, the armour is actually thicker on the KT, Abrams just has (((composites))) and funny shapes which reduce effectiveness of modern rounds but do fuckall vs. old full caliber rounds
>>
>>34186067
you're the retard though, the tiger had a 8.8cm gun, the abrams has a 12 cm gun. And if you think that being literally thicker is better than having a higher equivalent RHA rating in thinner lighter material, we all feel bad for your parents. Who's gonna wipe your ass when they die some day?
>>
>>34186067
>>34180925
Also this whole thread is fucking retarded, The Abrams is modern, the crew-ability of the vehicle, with digital rangefinding and modern FCS would mean the abrams can hit the tiger from beyond the tigers visual range, with rounds that will destroy WW2 tech so bad the tiger would make a turretless t-72 blush, while moving
>>

you are retarded

I was impressed by how long this thread kept the bullshit train rolling. Then someone had to spoil it by taking it seriously.

I think I'll start a thread like this in a few days, but using Japanese and Italian tanks.

Its a well known fact that the T-34 was able to disable the KT by driving into it very fast then which caused the KT to shatter and the T-34 just kept brummbrumm towards

the faggot eagle on the fagstag was taken down by a T-34 driving into it too

>>34186507
only worked if they had high proof vodka in the fuel mixture to give it extra engine power. KT was pretty big.

Maybe for you, for the T-34 it was just a little mouse to be stepped on
>>
>>34183928
M1=105mm
M1A1=120mm
>>
>>34186507
A T-34 is able to shatter most modern mbts by driving into them due to its sheer awesomeness. From M1s to T90s they do not stand a chance.
Only mighty German machines such as the KT can stop it.

I don't even understand why people think a 120mm round, designed to injure a tank, can compete with an 880mm round designed to kill a tank.

No, it directs the bullet to a path like artiellry, it falls back into enemy territory

Also its sloped front causes enemy tanks to flip when the T-34 drives into them

And it's descendant, sport
All the other information in this thread is 100% factual, the King Tiger did have thicker armor than the Abrams, however, that doesn't equal its total effective armor value, of which the Abrams has much, much, much more than the shit tiger
Didn't one get knocked out by a baby combat car too? I remember an anon posted the picture of the report, a King Tiger knocked out by a shitty light transport
