  1. I have a feeling that what they were actually envious of was ability of use the auxiliary clutch and brake steering to turn on a pivot. There seems to be a fair amount of controversy on whether the Panther could neutral steer or not.
  2. Aren't the blocks made of spaced layers of aluminum, rubber and steel? Apparently it adds 240mm eRHA against HEAT and 270-320mm eRHA against KE
  3. It's one thing to get the T-64's history wrong It's another to write alternate history for the M1.
  4. People keep ragging on about commander's cupolas being such a German advantage, yet why don't the Jagdpanther, Jagdpanzer and Jagdtiger have them ?
  5. I'm going to miss the Minekaze's 10km torpedoes and super stealth
  6. There isn't any references but there are wikipedia links strewn about. e.g. The only logical escalation of the T-72 autoloader myth the ability to load the gunner's balls...
  7. Is it just me or is the vehicle handling in AW a bit off. It has that lazy delayed feeling, which I assume is there to make the tanks feel heavy but ends up being poor for gameplay reasons. That kind of handling was ok in Crysis since it contrasts well with the FPS sections. But keeping it that way for a game were there is only tank warfare...
  8. Since you're close the T-54 lightweight I presume you have the LTTB? All the T-44 has over the LTTB is better gun depression (-7 vs -3), hit-points and front turret armour. In most other categories and especially mobility wise the LTTB is better for the same MM. Still it depends on how much you value gun depression, personally I find the WZ-131 more balanced and a lot people favor the Bulldog for its deadly auto-loader. For what to get, the T-54 lightweight is a team battle/e-sports staple for a reason. The T-44 on the other-hand hasn't changed much after the LB-1 and 680 hp engine was added years ago back when there were only 3 tier 8 mediums and none of them had over 210mm of penetration.
  9. It was a problem with the Sheridan's 152 mm M81 too so they made the keyway shallower on later guns, only as deep as the rifling on the M81E1. The XM162E1, which the M60A2 had when it was standardized, also had a shallow keyway. It looked good on paper though, fooled the Soviets into thinking it was a bit better than the T-64B and a lot better than the T-72/T-64A.
