    Well to be fair there is a bit of survivorship bias. Nobody likes to remember terrible games. As much as I liked C&C Renegade (2002) for it's multiplayer and consider it more interesting than the contemporary Battlefield 1942, the singleplayer campaign was mediocre and the AI was barely capable of doing anything other than running towards the player.

    Forczyk says the main reason was that the MAN Panther could be put into production earlier "this decision was a disaster for the Panther tank development program since it meant that getting the best tank possible to German tankers was set aside in favor of merely fielding a new design as rapidly as possible" and that the MAN being advertised as more Germanic while the Benz too Russian was a ploy by Kniepkamp, who used to be a MAN employee, and Oberst Fichtner, who prefers torsion bars, with some industrial espionage thrown in. In Jentz's "Germany's Panther Tank" it states that Hitler recognized that the "decisive factor was the possibility of quickly getting the tank into production" despite his preferring the Daimler Benz.

    Grave of the Fireflies is the only anime movie I've actually watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAbxN-nY4E

    The a-bomb being exaggerated as the nigh sole cause for the Japanese surrender. Also maybe the Pershing because Belton Cooper and with mainly Zebra mission, it barely qualifies as being more of a WW2 weapon than the Centurion or T-44/54. The Firefly was more of a WW2 T-62. It compromises for its big gun so that it's not straight up better than its predecessor and it was arguably worse than the 76mm Shermans.

    The differential and final drive case looks like it's rounded and ribbed for pleasure an early small hatch M4 instead of the Jumbo's thickened wedge shape?

    Well those mounts look like they are solidly welded to the tank; they wouldn't be very good for holding ERA if they just fell off before a hit now would they? Still I wonder if they made climbing in more complicated.

    Well they were making a plane only game, then decided fuck WG for snubbing us, we're making our own tank game with gambling and realisms.

    Using 67.6 tons on an overpass to enforce a speed limit I presume

    Yeah, they were; the picture is circa 1950 according to the person who originally posted it although we used them till the 60s. https://web.archive.org/web/20110817024010/http://www.lightarmordivision.net.ph/post-war.htm

    Reminds me of WoT's Historical Battles, Battle of the Bulge. As long as there was teamwork, the US (M4A3E8, M18, M36) team usually won over the German (Tiger II, Panther, Jagdpanther) team at least on the SEA server.

    The T-34's gun was also made by Krupp apparently...

    Makes me wonder why the US kept the loader's position in their early prototype autoloaders instead of increasing the drum/magazine capacity.

    Didn't they run into some issues finding space to store single piece 120mm ammo without making drastic changes to the turret? Which is one of the reasons why they suspended the smoothbore upgrade. Still they did get 1500 hp MTU-883 V-12 in the Challenger 2E

    I wonder what insane make-believe stats they'll give the Siemka PL-01 so it can compete with the T-14 at tier 10.

    So good the Iraqis were just itching to use them! Oh wait they gave them away to Jordan and left them to rot.

    That was one way of fixing some of the Arjun's problems.
