best tank of WW2 by far
Yeah a lot of it is the old adage of the Victor’s write history.
Just like the fun a have when I debunk (not all of it) the reliability of German armor not being as bad as people tend to believe.
When I see quotes with operational readiness reports and people are like " Ha , only 54% of the PZ4s were available" there is a lot of context missing from such a simple piece of paper.
Chances are the ones not ready were getting field maintenance done and not counted. Not that 46% had blown final drives or engines ect.
Its amazing what numbers can do to sway perception when we don’t understand the underlying factors.
Deal with it
ahhhh dude, price of a t34 is not that far from a sherman a tank that preformed better
the cheapest t34 made in 1939 was only $23,000 while the cheapest sherman made in 1943 was $33,000
while the most expensive t-34 that were made in 1945 were $55,000 and the most expensive shermans made in 1945 were up to $64,000
and if we were to take away the small wages the the union was paying its workers and a completely lack of any precursor workplace health and safety in the union work shops lead to cost cutting, ontop of a large number of short cuts
and a large lack of rubber, radios, good steel and so forth
i would go on but this was mainly to annoy and piss you off as auguring with you is point less
and a decent discussion with you is unachievable
It would have been ok if the Panzer IV F1 had HEAT.
another thing that is wrong with the game is the BT-7, it is not a BT-7, it is a BT-7M
