>>65052408For rounds 7,8,9 did they lift the entire plate to get it at 0*? Also what does BL mean in No BL Obtained?
>>65052574I think they used a device similar to the one seen here>>65052368not sure what BL means though
>>65052408this is DISGUSTING
>>65052548That would include russia
Here's a rarity, a T-50, there are two known survivors, this in Finland and one in Russia
>>65052955checked, neat
>>65052352I've seen that exact tank in person before
>>65053138and by before, I mean many times because it's less than 10 miles from my house. they're building a new museum too, it should be open soon.
>>65052548Yeah, sure. Sounds like a good time.Rangeban India while we’re at it.
This is my favorite WW2 tank.
>>65053340Ok normie, hope the barista doesn't mess with your order this morning
For your consideration: Norks driving one of several captured Cromwells:
>>65052352>DOOM TURTLE
>>65053556Observation: It's protection comes mostly from the huge mantlet and sloping of the armor, it isn't extremely thick.
>>65053601>>65053556https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Re-Assembly_of_the_T28_Super_Heavy_Tank.webmThe sides and hull weren't that thick at all, although the gun mount was a huge target and 12 inches so in a frontal assault it was just fine which was it's job. The road wheels offered more side protection than the side hull armor which is why it had two sets of tracks, the tracks were the armor.
>>65053325it's only a model
Some Panther turret bunkers on the Italian front destroyed several Churchill tanks. If Germany had had the resources to strengthen its inland fortifications, there might have been opportunities for bunker-buster tanks like the T28 to prove useful.
>>65052352Anon there is already a tank thread up?>>65037952
>>65058352We can use two.There should be more threads like this on the Weapons board Catalog (instead of all the off-topic irrelevant $#@m)
One of the best tanks of 1940, too bad its now 1945.
>>65058719>bong tank>best of anythinglol, lmao, rofl even
>>65059434It was good for the first few years of World War II.Other things and new scenarios/tactics came along towards the end.
>>65059434It was probably the 4th best tank in the world in 1960 after the KV, Pz.III and Pz.IV. Maybe the M2 light after that.
>>65060208>It was probably the 4th best tank in the world in 1960 after the KV, Pz.III and Pz.IV. Maybe the M2 light after that.>1960Anon what?
>>65060244checked, yeah idk what he meant by thatPz III was best tank in the world 1940. maybe KV after thatPz IV didn't really get into "it's role" (as stopgap / 'all we have left') until 1942 and later
>>65060244>>65060358>they don't know about the Israeli Super Matilda IIs up gunned with L7s.
>>65060358You can make an argument for most tanks to be the best in 1940 and it really comes down to what you determine as the most important metrics?Matilda II has great armor, the 2pdr is heads and shoulders above the majority of peashooters everyone else has, and contrary to popular belief was actually very reliable compared to other vehicles that were put in the same position but of course is extremely slow and doesn't have exactly the best crew ergonomics. KV-1 on paper there is nothing that matches the speed firepower and protection it has but the thing wasn't known for the best build quality and the crew was virtually blind.Panzer III has by far some of the best crew ergonomics and they can actually see out the tank but its armed with a peashooter, has painfully mediocre armor, and the transmission was known to give frequent problems.and of course if you are completely insane you'll pick one of the French tanks in 1940.>>65060520Dem crafty Jews! Here was me thinking anon was from an alternate timeline!
>>65060692>if you are completely insaneS35 or Chi-Ha for me.
>>65060692>File: 6pdr Matilda II.jpgnice
>>65060782>>65060692The Sentinel E1 had the same turret ring diameter as the Matilda II. 17pdr is technically possible.
