Yeah the Sherman hull was a good choice. The Panzer II used on the Wespe was obsolete by that point.

The Priest Kangaroo conversion was Canadian. They did in North Africa because they had too many tank and artillery and not enough half tracks. The Sexton was a Canadian conversion that existed since North Africa.

@studentaviator3756 No the Japanese were brutal. Germany at least fought mostly obeying the laws of war. The Japanese treated the Geneva Convention like a war crime to do list and fought tooth and nail for every inch of land we tried to take.

@studentaviator3756 Well going by OP's dad said, the grass is always greener on the side.

It was the Canadians who did that. They had more artillery than half-tracks.

@mladenmatosevic4591 You could and they did but it took multiple vehicles which went against common sense, but common sense wasn't that common in Germany at the time.

@MrWolfstar8 And their problem was they stayed with the Panzer IV when they had heavy tanks like the Tiger. Common wisdom is to make sure one tank can be towed by one ARV.

@MrWolfstar8 Then maybe you shouldn't make tanks with those issues.

@mladenmatosevic4591 It is either have a number of special recovery vehicles or need more than one recovery vehicle to tow some of your vehicles.

@mladenmatosevic4591 Yeah they should have just not made a vehicle that heavy unless they were ready to up their ARV to a Tiger based variant.

@mladenmatosevic4591 Except it wasn't. The Jagdtiger uses the chassis of the Tiger II they had in production and had issues of needing multiple vehicles to tow.

@mladenmatosevic4591 between 77 and 80 were made. And the gun used wasn't an AA gun either it was an anti-tank gun. None of the Jagdtigers were based on the failed Tiger that was Ferdinand which has a PaK 88 and 91 were converted from the failed Tiger P chassis.

@aaroncourchene4384 yeah it is overall an apples to oranges comparison like comparing the Sherman to the Tiger instead of the Panzer IV or the M113 to the BMP instead of the M2 Bradley.
