  1. That's good stuff. It's just kind of odd that the whole column's first idea there was trouble was not from scouting, but from the first truck in the convoy.

  2. Effective and versatile. But when they tried to build Tigers around the 88s, they lost their way. Definitely cool-looking.

  3.  @Scorpion-vh8lj  When faced by enemies with such weapons, is it a sin to take up such weapons?

  4. I think tank-on-tank comparisons are overrated. I think it's more about logistics and combined arms, infantry, artillery and armor, but not so much tank-vs-tank, even though we hang on all accounts of such encounters. Air also matters, and in the early stages of Barbarossa, the Germans had total air superiority. American industrial might was on full display, despite the head-to-head between tanks. The Allies could afford to take losses, and have as many or more armored units in the field, tomorrow as they had, today. The Soviets were also producing at a high rate, but in addition, already had divisions of armored and infantry divisions waiting on the Eastern side of the Urals. The Germans would defeat the Red Army and there'd be a whole 'nother Red Army opposing them at the NEXT river crossing.
