Why no King Tiger or Panther????
« Reply #30 on: April 24, 2007, 01:00:58 PM »
I think the refusal to go into Iraq didn,t help but in retrospect it may not have been a bad idea.

The reality is we English hid behind the channel and were smug. The French and British were brave enough to declare war on Germany in defence of Poland.

Some countries were so brave they had to wait to be invaded before they would get involved (USSR) or wait until Germany declared war on them (???). How brave is that?

So only the British have the right to take the piss and then only a little bit.

The T-28 Super Heavy first thought about as a possible participant in the invasion of Japan. Shows the respect we had for the Japanese and their fanatatical fighting style. :confused:


You have gotta be kidding, only 2 prototypes were produced of that tank and one burned down It never saw combat

France got sideswiped in WW2 they weren't expected all that blitzkrieg stuff. They were ready to fight all nice and normal and then Germany came out with a different style and France was like WHAT! :O They couldn't do anything but run which was the smart thing. One country Germany wouldn't want to mess with now is Israel. Hitler would of got his butt kicked now. Israel ain't takin no watermelon after that holacaust thang, i don't blame em.

I think I saw somewhere there are no confirmed front armor piercing of tiger II in battle.   Almost all lost were due to breakdown or no fuel, abandoned and drestoyed by their own crew.

The armor sucked (alloy-wise), but as already stated, it was still way too thick to be pierced by virtually anything under battle conditions, and then only at suicidal short ranges where the TigerII's long 88L71 would've knocked out the opponent long, long time before (in case of a hit),except for the IS-III russian heavy tank.

     Wow, the UK tries to ruin and embarrass Germany after not losing WW1,
they can then feel smug about dragging the US into their next war first.

     What's next...blaming the US for not funding their Lend Lease stuff?

I would love to see the whole gambit of WWII GVs available at some point, as well as all aircraft.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

Interesting interpretation of History from an Isolationist perspective. Smart of the UK to engineer US support through pearl harbour and the german declaration of war  :aok

And no one should complain about lend lease it only took about 55 years to pay back:rolleyes:

But

France, Britain and really the USSR were heavily involved in empire and Germany and Japan wanted to play too. I think the US made a big contribution in the 20th century by promoting and supporting a less imperial appraoch and if the US hadn't stitched the UK up on lend lease the Uk would have just wasted the money on trying to hold on to India and the like.

So lets all be friends and play nicely  :D
