    Those fins are not up to Pratt&Whitney standards, very chonk.

    Makes you wonder what other outrageous Nazi claims he believes? I bet he thinks Ruddell killed every tank he claimed too.

    Trusting Nazis is no way to get to the truth, numbnuts.

    Yeah, it makes you wonder if the pages of his Jentz books are stuck together. It would explain why he seems so ignorant, hard to read pages stuck together with...

    As if they would have anything to look at!

    You have to wonder why it's so important to Delete, that these Nazi Propaganda victories be true, it's weird. Who white knights for the Nazis these days?

    Since he really admires Nazi technology so much, maybe he boned up on the only thing they were both technologically cutting edge on, and good at implementing. Mass Murder and the tools used to do it. It's easier to understand than a torque converter too!

    Imagine making yourself look this stupid over nazi tanks! Delete is so special.

    Maybe the hills of Korea were more extreme than what the Soviets used? It's an interesting question. Did the Marines lose any M26s to the well deck being flooded on the way to Korea?

    The whole powertrain, (transmission, differential and final drives) seems to have been overbuilt, or very well designed for its weight class. The powertrain changed very little through its life, and rarely seems problematic on tanks being restored. Most of the time, if it had fluid, remained sealed, and didn't take a round through it, they need little more than cosmetic attention when a Sherman is being restored. This includes the one installed in the M4A3E8 tank used as a bulldozer, to knock down a large section of Oakland California in the 60s. It needed pain job, and they changed the fluid, and replaced some rusty bolts, that's it. They also came apart in a easy, and were easy to work on. Everything used roller or ball bearings, probably all in sizes still available, and other than just the size, everything seems to have been easy to service. The only major mechanical change during the war, was going from single to double anchor brakes, and I think the newer brakes could be retrofitted to the older unit. Compared to the weak junk the Nazi's produced it was really an amazing achievement in engineering.

    My Man, the A57 is a hell of a motor!
  12. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks
    What's extra damning is the M4A4 does better tan the Panther! The Nazi could only dream of having a motor so complicated, yet reliable!

    I wonder why they just didn't come up with a wider track pad? I suppose the unsupported part would be prone to bending?

    I think we try, people talking Nazi failures up are just so rare, at least around here. I mean being a wehraboo is so 2012.
  15. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks
    The main point is not the rifles, it's the Nazi failures, and making fun of them.

    Now you've done it, this one post will give Delete enough evidence, he will never grow out of his Nazi Tank obsession. Thus never get laid, and never reproduce, or was that your plan all along???
  17. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks
    Sadly that puppet is smarter than our pal Delete.
  18. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks
    Awesome. I do not have that report, or the schematics for those shells, at least at that quality.

    There is a giant firing order chart in one of the manuals, and I think you set the timing on each motor the traditional way, by twisting the distributer. I need to read through that section again.

    The line of British stuff that leads to the SA tanks actually looks pretty fun. The F-8 is pretty, and maybe we'll get a NAVY Phantom. It's fucking travesty, the service who actually developed the Phantom did not get it first.

    @Beer In this image the bevel gears in the middle of the block, drive the shafts, that go down to the oil pumps. I'll clean up a couple of oil pump pictures too, I've been meaning too, the engine is really clever.
