re: What was the best WWII tank?

quote:

---

The Panther had

1. Superior armor
2. Superior main gun
3. Superior range
4. Superior cross country maneuverability
5. Far less likely to burn when hit

And none of that mattered when Germany couldn’t produce enough of them, get them to the battlefield in quality numbers, or maintain them properly when in theater. The best German tank of WWII was the StuG 3 because they could produce them in quality numbers quickly and could maintain them being that it had a chassis they had been using from the start of the war. The Nazis’ focus on creating a superior tank instead of creating quality tanks in superior numbers drained and strained their already fragile industrial capacity.


ETA: this is all my opinion

I’m not as qualified as Darth (I have 0 qualifications actually) since he was actually a US army tanker
