i have infact, but the german tanks were superior, they outranged most allied tanks. the 76mm gun on the firefly had the ability to take out a tiger yes, but the firefly had a very cramped turret causing the reload time to drasticly be low which allowed german Panzer VI users to take them out quicker, also the Tiger had a longer range than most allied tanks. the T-34/85 could penetrate the SIDE armor on a tiger at 1000m, but they would have to flank it, which was hard due to the terrain and the sheer size of the tank, but nontheless both of these tanks were very effective at taking out tigers, so kudos to the fearless allied and axis tankers of ww2.





shit now that we are on the topic of ww2 tanks, or tanks in general. are there any good games featuring WW2 or modern tanks only?

nah, if you are such a genius, ask your mom to translate you this video, I see that you didnt understand a shit from that, Im sorry, will try to find something equal in English.
Short citate: "T-90 taked shots from 200m from another weapons with different callibr and such as 120mm, none of 6 shots damaged it, then they tested some kind of RPG or what- nothing, armor didnt take any damage... tank drove away without having repaired something... bla bla bla" I dont wanna translate that all, the idea is- DONT POST IF YOU HAVENT SOMETHING NEW TO SAY!

EDIT: T-90 firing range is 5km (5000m) and its similar to power of Abrams cannon. Abrams has uranium shells, T-90 has from Wolfram and there is no difference in armor piercing.
You certainly showed your intelligence when you insulted my nick, but anyway, to prove my point:

most people on these forums seem to take "can" as an absolute

I can't find the link right now, but the 85mm gun used on the T-34/85 was able to penetrate 102mm of armor at 1000m, while the frontal armor of the IE's was 100mm at 8 degrees on the turret, 100 mm at 12 degrees on the front superstructure, and 100mm at 35 degrees on the front hull. Make those degrees to 0 and the frontal armor of the IE goes down to under 100mm, which makes it easy for the T-24/85 to penetrate it.

EDIT: Here's the link: http://www.wwiivehicles.com/ussr/guns.asp

I have no clue as to which tank is the "best," and I doubt that anyone can actually prove that their country's tank is the "best." All of them are great, but can't be defined as better than one another IMO.

Plus, I think the KDR of each tank is an unreliable reason for saying that one tank is better than another. M1's KDR is probably going to be higher, because of all the action it sees. From what I've read at Wiki about each tank, they haven't seen as much action, which means fewer losses.

For a Country that can't build an Army to save ourself... we did fucking well takeing back a couple of certain Islands that were close to the enemy that attacked them and were at least 10,000 miles away from us. Yep you guessed it the Falklands.

if i'm not mistaken, the brits alone held back the germans during the battle of britain. only a few american civie pilots participated, but for the most part it was the brits and their spitfires and hurricanes.

does it matter who has the better tank, we have the airforce to kill any tank around.  after that our tanks are just for infantry supression.

Tanks were originally designed for infantry suppression, but they later became usefull as other things. things such as AVREs, demolition vehicles with high calibre guns such as the Centurian AVRE with its massive 165mm demolition gun, or mounted with bridges and dozer blades. another unheard of thing is the recon tank such as the Scorpion, armed with a 76mm gun, the scoripion can traverse boggy terrain and very hilly ground at a good rate of speed. tanks are an all around vehicle and we cannot forget that.
