Foreigners are usually nationalist as fuck, they think their countries are best even when they are absolute shitholes.

No matter what leftists say, Western European countries & the US are some of the least nationalist countries in the world, this is why they can point out their own mistakes and fix them, and why they are so much more prosperous and successful than every other third world country (like Russia)

Because it's realistic. Because Russian tanks have always been the best. Because Western tanks have been considered good only due to Western propaganda. After the Western Leopard and Abrams trash has been exposed in Syria and Yemen as laughable deathtraps and the T-90 was proven to be an unkillable monster that can survive anything, any notion of Russian bias is laughable.

TL;DR: everything you know about Western tanks is pure propaganda.

Actual serious answer here:

Because most Russian equipment is presented as much worse than it actually is (did you know the USSR had superior land tech to NATO until the mid 1980s?), so when Russians make games they want to correct this record and portray it accurately. Unfortunately they overcorrect, and then bunker down in the face of criticism because they think it's just Westerners mad at Russian equipment getting the "proper" portrayal.
>>
Sure but they're all different and if you're better than someone else you'll still usually win. If you really can't help but use the one thing you do the best in, then it doesn't matter what that particular thing actually is. If you're a sensible person and like variety, the balance is just about fine.

and so on. They had better armoured vehicles, better artillery, better doctrine, a superior strategic position, and on and on and on. Without nuclear weapons involved the USSR could have rolled over Western Europe at any point up until 1985, and maybe even later. The Soviets had tube-fired ATGMs for their tanks that could knock out M1s at 2 or 3 kilometres further than the M1's gun range while the US never got further than the Sheridan.

Everyone pretends that the USSR was some big paper tiger now because none of you were alive at the time, but the Cold War wouldn't have fucking happened if that were the case.

The Soviets spent their entire fucking economy on wartime production and development. Of course they had something to show for it.

Specifically, when the T-64 and T-72 types were first in and had no equivalent as far as firepower went. That 125mm smoothbore isn't a joke compared to 105mm rifled.

There was also the general mechanized infantry equipment; these days BMP-1s and BTR-60/70s might be aged slavshit, but in their time they were revolutionary.

>hit the top of a tank

Tank tops are far less armored than the sides, since the ATGM is coming from above it'd probably beat any tank realistically speaking

Wrong, that's frontal penetration. When your modern MBT gets penetrated from the front by an outdated Soviet ATGM there is literally no excuse no matter who is driving it. The Leopards have been proven to be utter trash because of this and the US-made Saudi M1A2S have been also penetrated from the front. That's it. Game over. The re is literally no excuse. It's complete and utter trash and all those RHA equivalent armor values you see on wiki are retarded propaganda to help kiddies argue that US dick is longer on the internet. Reality has proven otherwise.

It doesn't matter who is driving your tank or how. If it gets penetrated in the frontal projection by outdated ATGMs, it's trash. End of story.

Again, if frontal penetration is the cause, there is no difference who is using it. A tank is not supposed to be penetrated from the front by ATGMs. Sure, the passive armor of any tank can be penetrated from the side or the top by even outdated ATGMs, but if the front is vulnerable, it's garbage.

>>375598321
Turrets in generally are not that armored, and have less angling, hitting it dead on is statistically more likely to penetrate than hitting the front part of the tank and saying its the same

>>375598351
>HEAT round needs to hit flat surface to be useful
>fire downward onto top of the front frame
>No angle to deflect, thus functions

Even ATGMs from the 1970s had penetration values in the 200mm range at max distance at a bad angle, Modern systems can give an average of 800mm penetration(you read that right)
Considering this slav shit is meming "old russian weapons" hasn't posted actual warheads being used, just that they are ATGM(Fun fact, the more modern Vampir RPG has been seen used in syria against t-72s and t-90s to great effect, something the US was worried about during Desert Storm)

>>375598772
>the point was that it is outdated equipment that isn't actually used anymore by most first world armies
So which "modern" MBT do Germancucks use in any significant numbers if the Leo 2A4 is outdated?
>>
>>375598670
It's not just a tech demo, it's intended for mass production.

Of course, the Russians can't actually afford it, but the point is that the only country doing real development on modern armour is the Russians.

The entirety of US R&D is "can we take what we've already got and make it a robot". That has its own uses and there's a reason for them doing that above and beyond the natural yankee inclination to sit on a chair doing nothing while machines live their life for them, but it's not real development of new weapons. It's a holding pattern or using what we've already got in new ways.

The Brits themselves have said that the T-14 has significant, insurmountable advantages over current-gen tanks.

Doesn't matter, because Muricuck propaganda is so pathetic, it has inflated the M1A2 passive RHA armor equivalent over 1.5m and even more, which is something no ATGM in the world should be able to penetrate. Reality has proven otherwise, of course, because Muricuck propaganda is just that: wishful thinking and lies.

Again
Reread what I said

There is no strong indicator that this is "old ATGMs from the 70s" ATGM tripods can fire a good hunk of warheads, especially since most nations don't really need upgrades to the launcher but the warhead

If thats a modern warhead it would have a reasonable chance at penetration(as it did)
Since slavshit didn't actually show us what warheads were being used it's meaningless, since the US has publically claimed that there are a handful of ruskie warheads that could penetrate(reasonably) Abrams tanks

Likewise as the russians realized their Vampir RPG was in the hands of some rebels who proceeded to obliterate t-72s and similar tanks

Fuck look at this Carl Gustav equse AT weapon obliterate this t-90

>>375598878
I think it's a matter of priorities.

The west got done fighting a series of wars where armor was practically irrelevant and anybody who wanted to fight was so far behind the power curve their armored spearheads were getting bombed to oblivion and cleaned up by mechanized infantry they're meant to overpower. Hence why all the development is on long ranged power projection and battlefield support instead of the classical armored spearhead.

The Russians are developing for the tactical, not the strategic. Their strategic military theory is still stuck in Operation Bagration and Fulda Gap.

>>375598861
2A6 / 2A7 and a lot of other variations. Most of them are fitted with upgraded armor for different purposes. A 2A6M is armored against "M"ines for example.

Currently the german army is planning to develop a new MBT but nothing specific was said yet. Seems like the actual focus lies more on the new IFV's and the IDZ project.

>The T-90 is a third-generation Russian battle tank that entered service in 1993. The tank is a modern variation of the T-72B and incorporates many features found on the T-80U. Originally called the T-72BU, but later renamed to T-90

>everything that isn't soviet

Most of the guns Americans and Germans have better pens, fragmentation, or reloads than Russians.
Russians don't get hesh rounds, their HEAT rounds are always on the lower end.
Their best guns have terrible reloads, worse pens, and depression than others in their BR.
Russians don't get high velocity bazooka rockets that pen everything or planes with 50s that instantly murder SPAA, the only reliable fighter bomber is a lend lease P47.
Most of their armor is mediocre except for angling on some tanks, they don't have the fastest tanks other than maybe for reverse speeds or traverse, or the most armored tanks. Even the smaller caliber cannons on a plane can kill pretty much any Russian tank.
Germans have the best premium vehicle options aside from rank 4 because of the t29, t44-122, and is6.

That footage is old as fuck (like, pre-Russian) and those tanks look like T-72s to me.

Not to mention that's obviously a side or rear hit, not frontal.

>There is no strong indicator that this is "old ATGMs from the 70s" ATGM tripods can fire a good hunk of warheads, especially since most nations don't really need upgrades to the launcher but the warhead
I agree with that, though.

I don't think old Soviet ATGMs can knock out modern Abrams, because modern Abrams were literally designed around defeating old Soviet ATGMs.

It was good in 1940.

As soon as its superior armor and gun aren't factors the inferiority becomes obvious. Two man turrets and lack of radios as well as dogshit ergonomics and crew visibility are huge flaws.

The 85 fixed things some by adding the dedicated commander position but that hull was getting mighty dated at that point. Not as prehistoric as the Panzer 4 mind you but still.

It was the best tank in the world in 1941. Germans deployed the Panther in 43 in an attempt to copy/counter the T-34's success.

>>375601245

>At the insistence of General Heinz Guderian, a special tank commission was created to assess the T-34.[11] Among the features of the Soviet tank considered most significant were the sloping armour, which gave much improved shot deflection and also increased the effective armour thickness against penetration, the wide track, which improved mobility over soft ground, and the 76.2 mm (3.00 in) gun, which had good armour penetration and fired an effective high explosive round.

It wasn't any cheaper than a panzer 4.

Note that "good armour penetration" means compared to the Panzer III 50mm gun.
The Panzer IV with its 76mm had a much better armour penetration, without sacrificing accuracy. This is mostly because the Soviet shells were shit and had low velocity.

Except the M1A2S is still missing the DU composite. The electronic and communications suites are upgraded andit's had a massive upgrade for climate conditions, but the armour is the same package.

Do you actually think launching stuff into space is even remotely as hard as sending a person to the surface of the moon and then back to earth?

The real fault with the Russians is the shells they use compared to any other nation.
They get armour piercing rounds which explode once inside the tank, making nearly any kill 1 shot.
Then you have Brit's who only get APBC solid shot, which you have to pick each crew member off one by one, even putting solid shot through ammo racks won't make them explode.

The REAL reason is the flaw of many Russian vehicles, and German ones for that matter, both around WW2, is that their weaknesses don't transfer easily to videogames unless you go full autism sim mode. All that matters is paper stats, armo thickness, hull profile, gun size, some general accuracy figure, speed. Videogames don't give a shit about reliability, cramped turrets, shitty interiors, limited view from shitty view ports, complex mechanisms that effect how easy or comfortable they are to drive, the actual quality of steel and not just thickness, and so on. So your fat fucking KV's, IS, and massive steel big cats are only balanced by making them slow as fuck or giving them shitty accuracy and gun handling stats.

Bit late to the bait. It's because NATO did not need to rely on "strong" armored vehicles because of our reliance on combined arms and superior air force. Those cannon fired ATGMs are neat and all but when you can't move your troops for fear of air attack then they dont mean shit. That is what the NATO forces learned during WWII and the subsequent wars they fought. I know it might be difficult in slavland but read a book nigger.

It comes with grind and stats padding, like WoT, but gameplay itself is far closer to PvP shooters in a sense that skill and knowledge of map, and your/enemy's gear, is far more important than paded stats.

That's not stated anywhere in the article, though? In fact, the opposite is implied. The gun had more penetration than the predecessor, but even that was not enough (to penetrate Soviet armour).

You not being a faggot isn't found in there either. What does this have anything to do with anything?
>the opposite is implied
No, it's outright stated that it wasn't sufficient, which it wasn't, since the 50mm guns could not penetrate the T-34 frontally at great distances. It still could penetrate from closer and did, using the correct ammunition. This just isn't "sufficient" as the article states, since the landscape in Ukraine and Western Russia is flat and has great visibility.
>The gun had more penetration than the predecessor, but even that was not enough (to penetrate Soviet armour).
It was enough.
>It was produced when the well-armoured T-34 and KV-1 tanks were encountered in ever increasing numbers on the Eastern Front, although it was only partially successful in its role. It was later superseded by the 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/43.
>>
>>375614532
well, T-34 wasn't especially easy to manufacture either, Soviet quality standards were just very "elastic", allowing to outsource plenty of work to unskilled workers (since Soviets put experienced heavy industry workers into frontlines without much thinking), using subpar techniques, which resulted in things like glacis plate being 6 cm on left side and 3 cm on right.
Though main reason they produced so much was simply because
>The Soviet Union just had ludicrous industrial capacity

Soviets sent T-34s to America hoping they will convince Americans to produce them. Americans did evaluation, and decided it would be waste of time, since M4 they already make, takes less manhours to produce, while still providing excellent quality often pointed by Soviet crewmen using them

What do you mean by "closer"? What angles? Do you have an actual source? All you brought to the discussion is an article which says that the gun was so bad against Soviet armour that Panzer IIIs were refitted with low-velocity 75mm guns and HE/HEAT shells and relegated to infantry support role.

How much closer?

Well no shit refitting production lines to make something similar is a waste of time. T-34s were mostly good (except for crappy visibility and lack of radios), but not made of magic.

Yep. From what I've read, the Soviet tankers greatly preferred Shermans to the T-34s. Superior optics, far larger crew compartment (not everyone dies on penetration), commander can do his job instead of firing the gun, don't have to be a malnutritioned Slav to fit inside. Stuff like that.

The T34 have some really strong feature with it armor placement in it design compare to other tank from the allies and the axis of similar tier.
Fighting against the T34 spam in early tier was horrendous to be an American with the shitty 75mm. But if they really want to give a proper experience to a T34. Then it should have reduce field of vision and overall visibility.

Depends on what you're firing at.
Apparently from a Panzerbeschuß Tafel, table on reliable penetrations for the KwK 39 L/60
- Turret front plate, 100 meters with PzGr 38 and 40
- Hull front, the narrow vertical part where upper and lower hull meets, 100 meters with PzGr 40
- Turret side, 600 meters with PzGr 38, 500 meters with PzGr 40
- Upper hull side, PzGr 38 500 meters, PzGr 40 400 meters
- Lower hull side, PzGr 38 1000 meters, PzGr 40 800 meters, but maximum range for the PzGr 40 was set to 600 meters
- Rear turret, PzGr 38 600 meters, PzGr 40 500 meters
- Rear hull, PzGr 38 and 40, 300 meters

Tigers were produced in small quantity because, just like their older tanks, they were built piece by piece, rather than using production line. Production line would be redundant, because Tiger I was stop-gap design meant to provide Germany with effective heavy tank, and would be produced only until more advanced design (Tiger II) is completed.

Panther was first time Germany actually designed tank with mass production in mind. Which turned out to be little harder that they expected, as first series were plagued with defects, due to new techniques and procedures.
Still, end result was 3000 tanks / year, which was around 3 times faster than using traditional manufacturing

Kinetic penetrators essentially melt the armour as they pass through and cause lethal spalling inside the vehicle, which in a crew compartment as cramped as the T-34 will cause multiple casualties.

Soviet battalion commander who used leand-lease tanks most of his service pointed that suprising thing about Shermans was that they weren't spalling from non-penetrating hits. Even claims his battalion never had anyone injured by spall, unlike T-34s where it was rather common.

My guess is, it was because Soviet used very hard steel for armor, to maximize effectivness aganist light, but high velocity shells, and probably also due to shortage of non-iron metals needed for high-quality steel.
Problem is, hard steel lacks flexibility, so it's less likely to absorb impact energy of heavier shell, like AP of long 75 mm. Steel used for Sherman was 230-250 BHN, while steel used for T-34s was 350-400 BHN

If you knew how much money I wasted on War Thunder...last time I checked since I started playing (I started before the Tier I-V shit, when the game was 1 to 20 tiers) I wasted 800-1000€ in the game

I liked that game a lot you know? but the grind its horrible, in WoT its bad too, but at least you feel the progression, I remember the T-10 at tier 9, the best cannon was like 50-70k exp IIRC, and with premium you get like 1k average experience, even when losing, thats like 60-70 matches, maybe 100 if you have a bad winrate, and in WoT thats nothing, if you have enough patience you can clear it out in a day, and mind you, I only played like 10-20 battles per day, and I got the tier X without feeling burned or tired, In WT afer getting the Tiger II H I stopped playing for like a week, I was so fed up with the game.

But it's not. Let's be real here if I went by American made pop history then the US is pretty much useless. Your average TV watcher/game player is convinced that the T34, Tiger or maybe Panther is the best tank ever, the ak47 the best gun ever, the mg42 the best machine gun, that Russia won the war single handedly, that Shermans were rolling death traps etc etc. Any attempt to educate people with reality often gets them to use some kind of defense along the lines of (as seen above) if the T34 was so shit why did the Russians win? Of course trying to explain that basing the winner in a planet wide total war on a single price of equipment by a single combatant is nonsensical compared to questions of logistics, resources, manpower on a global scale etc often leads the CoD PhD candidate to explain why Hollywood tactics is a real thing.

Tl;dr history channel babies and blind anti Americans who think the country that produced literally as much war materiel as every other combatant combined was barely relevant need to learn to keep their mouths shut.

Not even close. Leaving out them being part of the problem on the first place what with the molotov-ribbentropp pact, and the huge amount of assistance they got from lend lease they were only instrumental against a single enemy on a single front. They did about the same to Germany as the US did to Japan and Britain did to Italy, but both those countries gave help to Russia and got none in return. At the very least all three countries were equally important, but the fact is that the Russians motorized their army with hundreds of thousands of American made trucks, not the other way around.

>mg42
but the question is 2 to 3 BARs plus 10 M1s vs 1 mg42 and 10 or so K98s.

The MG42 and BAR are not comparable as Light Machine Guns because they were used differently in different infantry doctrines. The simplest way to put it is the Germans believed the MG to be the heart of the squad while the Americans put riflemen plus automatic riflemen(BARs). And the Americans had the M1919A6 which is actually comparable in the LMG.

>Russia won the war single handedly

Why do Americans get late war squad equipment, while Germans get an early war rifle squad? That's hardly fair, you know.
>>
>>375622880
Lol bar is a squad automatic weapon, not a gpmg. The mg42 is comparable to the 30 Cal, but thanks for proving my point. Part of all small unit tactics is conservation of ammunition, which is why most modern machine guns have a lower rate of fire. Video game historians think rate of fire is the only thing a machine gun needs to be effective. An actual historian asks questions like how easy is it to produce and repair? Does that rate of fire cause ammo or barrel wear problems? Whether something is the best is never a question of a single characteristic but of all its characteristics together, and how well it fits the purpose it was given.
>>
>>375622636
different scale
BAR was avaliable at squad level, while MG-42 was deployed in seperate MG platoons.
It comes to differences in doctrine, where Americans focused on small units firepower, thus semi-autos for every rifleman and widespread use of light MGs like BAR and Thompson already on squad levels.

>The MG42 and BAR are not comparable as Light Machine Guns because they were used differently in different infantry doctrines.
That's correct, but even then BAR was a bad design. Bren would be a better example of the thing that BAR tried to be (well, it actually didn't, I don't think Browning designed it to do what people eventually used it for, Browning was a very talented and smart weapon designer, an all-time best, arguably).

Not issued on a grand scale, most German infantry men will have the K98

The main comparison is that the US Army doctrine is more mobile and in terms of fire and maneuver superior.

People say that the German doctrine is the most modern because LMGs look like the MG42. But the most modern infantry doctrine will actually look like the USMC 12 man rifle squad, made of 3 fireteams of 1 BAR and 3 M1s; evenly dividing the squads firepower into 3 independent fireteams perfect for fire and maneuver.

If you talk about G43 they were rare, only 400k produced, compared to over 14mln of 98k. If you talk about StG, they weren't issued to replace rifles, but MP40s.
>>
>>375623850
Again though my point is that "best" is usually stupid when based off a single characteristic or measured in a vacuum. Was the Mg42 the best machine gun? Define best. Was it light? Reliable? Did it need to change its barrel really often? Did it adequately fulfill its doctrinal requirements? Just to be clear though I'm not saying it wasn't good, or even the best at its intended role. What I'm saying is that a lot of pop history doesn't ask these questions, and the average American om the street often thinks more of other countries equipment while saying his own was massively inferior simply because that's what the Discovery channel told them.

I don't think he was talking about production cost but more of a logistical cost in firerate. The Germans needed more ammo carriers for their MGs reducing the amount of people actually fighting in the unit.

>high fire rate
faster ammo consumption and you burn through barrels faster

Some the US army training videos during WW2 call the MG42 all bark and no bite. That's not exactly true but the video tells infantry men to wait in cover until the MG42 either runs out of ammo and reloads or they swap the barrel. I don't know how effective that really is with the innovative quick barrel change system on the MG42.

"Best" is a quite pointless word when you use it to describe stuff like military tech. Everything has its flaws. MG-42s were damn good, though. Cheap to produce, quick to replace the barrels, pretty reliable. The only real flaw is the cyclic rate, and even then I heard that it was beneficial against Soviets who liked to use massed infantry attacks.

>>375624537
>Some the US army training videos during WW2 call the MG42 all bark and no bite.
Yes, that's what propaganda is. Barrel change on MG-42 is really quick and the crews always had spare barrels.

>the locking mechanism is modeled on that of the Browning M1918 (BAR) automatic rifle
The problem with BAR wasn't locking mechanism, it was a large and very heavy gun that was really expensive to produce, had a huge an ineffective bipod that most users would eventually just remove because it was so unwieldy, and fed from 20 rounds magazines. It wasn't designed to be LMG, really, it was a WW1 era gun.

Look at Johnson LMG for an example of a good American WW2 machine gun.

Because the IDF is primarily engaging in towns and villages, killing Pakis. The US is worried about Hajis and Iraqis sitting on top of mountains ~600 metres away, spraying at US troops with PKMs, at a distance where 5.56 just can't reach for shit. Not with any accuracy, due to US milspec being ~3 MOA.

aye, divisions that were being basically rebuilt from scratch due to loses. I suppose it makes it less logistic headache, since they can concentrate limited ammo and parts supplies to one place, and allows to get better view at it usefulness than if they supplied only a bunch to every unit.

Yeah, but I think that was also kind of experiment, and according to reports it worked extremely well, the users were happy with the gun because it was both a rifle and a machinegun, you could suppress while your buddies flanked, then they could suppress for you, I mean it was an assault rifle which is a concept that won the battle of small arms all over the world for a reason.

The whole 5.56 being useless comes from the mountainous region (afghan) making combat ranges 500+ when a dude on the otherside of the valley spraying in your general direction with a PKM with Army M4's effective range well below 500 meters. In other traditional environments 5.56 is fine but combat in Afghanistan has unit commanders wanting 7.62 for the longer range combat situations.

Almost the entire (relevant) world use 5.56 so changing to a wildcat 6.5/6.8 magic round isn't going to be easy

Once again falling for the "durr best meme, and the Sherman's are shit meme". Sherman's fulfilled the American doctrinal requirements of a rank that could be built, shipped, repaired and adapted to different uses easily far better than the panther did for the German doctrines in place when they were introduced, which was essentially about trying to fight two very numerous enemies on two fronts, the worst thing you can do is produce a few thousand very expensive gas guzzlers when your most effective armored vehicle of the war was the Stug. Would have been better off just producing as many of those as possible, but like most dumb asses they figured a few super weapons was more useful than a shit ton of merely effective weapons

— The parts of the power train (with the exception of the final drive)
meet the planned fatigue life. The replacement of a transmission
requires less than a day.
— On the other hand, the engine was not operable over 1500 km. The
average engine life amounted to 1000 km. Engine replacement ac-
complished in 8 hours by an Unteroffiaer (mechanic by occupation) and
8 men with the aid of a tripod beam crane or a Bergepanther. Main gun
can be replaced using the same equipment within a few hours. The
German maintenance units performed their work remarkably well
— As a result, the Panther is in no way a strategic tank. The Germans did
not hesitate to economically increase the engine life by loading the tank
onto railcars — even for very short distances (25 km).
— The truly weak spot of the Panther is its final drive, which is of too
weak a design and has an average fatigue life of only 150 km.
— Half of the abandoned Panthers found in Normandy in 1944 showed
evidence of breaks in the final drive.

A tank needs to be able to get to its destination most of the time. The highest availability rates of Panther units (the best late war ones) Panther G were only 54% with Panther A/D being at 37%. That is unacceptable for a tank.

Also big problem with the Panther
>Aside from his periscope gunsight (which is excellent), the gunner has
no other type of observation device. He is therefore practically blind —
one of the greatest shortcomings of the Panther.
>Once the commander has located a target, it takes between 20 and 30
seconds until the gunner can open fire. This data, which is significantly
greater than that of the Sherman, stems from the absence of a periscope
for the gunner.

Interview from Soviet Sherman Tanker

>If a T-34 started burning, we tried to get as far away from it as possible, even though this was forbidden. The on-board ammunition exploded. For a brief period of time, perhaps six weeks, I fought on a T-34 around Smolensk. The commander of one of our companies was hit in his tank. The crew jumped out of the tank but were unable to run away from it because the Germans were pinning them down with machine gun fire. They lay there in the wheat field as the tank burned and blew up. By evening, when the battle had waned, we went to them. I found the company commander lying on the ground with a large piece of armor sticking out of his head. When a Sherman burned, the main gun ammunition did not explode.

>Such a case occurred once in Ukraine. Our tank was hit. We jumped out of it but the Germans were dropping mortar rounds around us. We lay under the tank as it burned. We laid there a long time with nowhere to go. The Germans were covering the empty field around the tank with machine gun and mortar fires. We lay there. The uniform on my back was beginning heating up from the burning tank. We thought we were finished! We would hear a big bang and it would all be over! A brother's grave! We heard many loud thumps coming from the turret. This was the armor-piercing rounds being blown out of their cases. Next the fire would reach the high explosive rounds and all hell would break loose! But nothing happened. Why not? Because our high explosive rounds detonated and the American rounds did not? In the end it was because the American ammunition had more refined explosives. Ours was some kind of component that increased the force of the explosion one and one-half times, at the same time increasing the risk of detonation of the ammunition.

>- Each Sherman came with two Thompson submachine guns, in caliber 11.43mm (.45 cal), a healthy cartridge indeed! But the submachine gun was worthless. We had several bad experiences with it. A few of our men who got into an argument were wearing padded jackets. It turned out that they fired at each other and the bullet buried itself in the padded jacket. So much for the worthless submachine gun. Take a German submachine gun with folding stock (MP-40 SMG by Erma -Valeri). We loved it for its compactness. The Thompson was big. You couldn't turn around in the tank holding it.

The data was collected in a "attack" with the Panther advancing with the Commander spotting a target. The panther was best used defensively, from a fixed position and time to set up so the gunner can get his bearings.

Also the panther with its high velocity gun had a shit HE round making it bad for a Medium tank

The amount of American and British aid to the Soviet Union is staggering. They only built eight railway locomotives during the entire war; the rest of were mostly British but also American locos.
