    Is it just me, or does this argument remind you of an argument that blacktaildefence would make? Same brand of mental gymnastics, answer dodging, and lack of self awareness... either way: Hmmm... no wonder you’re not learning anything. You might want to go look into a mirror, mate. Single torsion bars? Yes. Double torsion bars? Doesn’t appear to be the case. I will point out that these are 2 entirely different systems, the differences being minor, but important. However the biggest difference is that one system has been demonstrably successful through years and years of constant and reliable service, becoming the standard for which suspension systems on armored vehicles are judged; while the other hasn’t been used since 1950... And yet the allies won... paying this “high price”...

    Other than the incredibly successful pincer movement the Nazi’s got themselves into when they went to war on 2-3 fronts, against 2 pier level (Russia and Britain) and one superior (USA) opponents? Successful insomuch that the person on the inside of the pincer is suppose to lose, right? But I’m sure you’re not talking about that, you’re talking about tactical maneuver, in which case I will remind you of: Arracourt, Stalingrad, Leningrad-Novgorod, Riga, Ruweisat ridge (part of first battle of El Alamein), the Falaise / Mons / Colmar pockets... the Nazi’s we’re outmaneuvered again and again, on all fronts, while they couldn’t do the same back due to highly immobile vehicles, many of which were using the inter leveled wheels. I would argue that their most maneuverable vehicles were the panzer 2, 3, and 4 (and derived vehicles) which didn’t have that overly complicated and maintenance intensive wheel system.

    You must be taking-the-piss, the allies out maneuvered the Germans far more than the reverse, as demonstrated by the great many, successful pincer movements used by the allies during the war.

    https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a393800.pdf “Advanced penetrator materials” (June 2001) A bit of generalized information, and a short read, but worth a look.

    https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/383336.pdf “Development of heat-treated composite steel armor” (July 1967) I stumbled upon this while looking for something else, but it contains a bit of information on dual hardness steel (as well as some triple and quadruple layered steels), and some of the techniques they were using at the time.

    Interesting they are going for 4-4.5km ranges when current ammo is made for 2-3km. Why not go for 3-4km?

    https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/1045347.pdf “76mm gun M1A1 and M1A2: an analysis of US anti-tank capabilities during WW2” It’s a “historical piece”, but an interesting read nonetheless. @Jeeps_Guns_Tanks, there’s some schematics for the M93 HVAP, M62 APC, and M42 HE at the very end, if you don’t already have them.

    How does the engine make sure each of the cylinder banks are timed correctly? I assume the gear system that connects each bank to the main shaft could help, but I’m not 100% sure.

    M8 greyhound is premium in US tree, but main tier in Chinese tree... absolutely disgraceful...

    I do wonder which country in “Southern Asia” they went to for their autoloader. If it was India... I can see why they chose an in-house design.

    Really m8... really? 1. Exhausted does not mean quitting, giving up, throwing-in-the-towel, defeated, or other such turn of phrase. I could jump into this argument at any time, but choose not to, primarily because the more knowledgeable and experienced members are making better points than I could hope to make. 2. How deluded can you be? You’ve been nothing but a punching bag this entire time, and now you’re so out of arguments that you resort to insults and attacks. I haven’t even directly insulted your beloved “wunderwagon panther”, but I just might start.

    Anybody else just... mentally exhausted? Who new just reading about people talking to a brick wall would be tiring, let alone actually arguing with said brick wall. Blessings to you, brave souls.

    @Jeeps_Guns_Tanks (or anybody), what do you know about the 90mm T54 gun?

    What does the “K” in all South Korean designations stand for? Is it like a translation of the “M” in most American designations, or is it just simply saying it’s Korean?

    New coup just dropped in Myanmar early this month.

    Usually, radar on armored vehicles (other than SPAA) is for either the APS (trophy / Iron fist), or more commonly to check the velocity of the projectile leaving the barrel, for accuracy purposes. This last I’ve seen mostly on artillery.
