someone posted a series of stills from that film clip and highlighted the Pershing's rounds so you could see the impact points better.  The Pershing's 90mm rounds cut through that Panther's side like a hot knife through butter.

"The Pershing's 90mm rounds cut through that Panther's side like a hot knife through butter."

Pretty much the same as the Panther's rounds penetrated the Shermie -from front...  :lol

Charge thats a pretty stupid statment since I was a tanker for 17 years and have had T72s shooting at me so keep your lips attached to your bellybutton instead of flapping here.
