StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)

Confirmed: Panther had prototype fire extinguisher in the works, would've turned the tide of the war.

[Tied]

More like turned the tide of the transmission flames

[Donward]

Scheisse! Oil burns on water! Hans, we must design an even more complicated fire extinguishing system with a chemical other than water that we don't have strategic access to!

[EnsignExpendable]

Minor damage to a Panther tank by inferior communist weapons.

 

 

Edit: gun hit, accuracy is reduced!

Well, maybe if he made it out of sheet metal....

Nope, he said exactly to spec except for the engine!

Does that include the Superior Teutonic Iron "without any of those junk impurities in it?"

[EnsignExpendable]

Naturally, can't put any of that inferior communist nickel into my KRUPPSTAHL

 

Edit: what's a C&C machine and how is it similar to a CNC machine?

[Priory_of_Sion]

Don't worry he has the blueprints so I think he knows what he's doing. He went to "school" to work with metal. See? He's legit.

Well it's clearly a command and conquer machine, meaning he's actually secretly wanting to use this money to build Mammoth tanks with!

I think a C&C machine is part of a Music Factory?

Need winter camo? Don't have paint? Boy have I got the solution for you.

SARGE! I think I see a German Tiger column in that field!!!

 

Easy rookie. You've just got a case of the nerves. That's a harmless stack of newspapers. When you've been in the war as long as I have, you've seen all the tricks...

[Collimatrix]

It's how they tricked the Soviet border guards.  He saw the tanks rolling up and demanded to see their papers.  

[Walter_Sobchak]

Armor for the Ages has posted a page about the restoration of the Tiger II that used to be at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.  Some nice photo galleries are included.

Silly cowgirls, don't they know that they need 5:1 ratios to win against the Tiger?!?!

[Donward]

 

So that's what the FarmersOnly Dot Com cowgirls do when they aren't starring in dating site commercials.

 

Also you'd think that wearing only chaps and no britches would chafe more on a Western saddle...

There are 6, if you count the horses.

[Blackhorse_Six]

Well there is a handy dandy means of determining which is the case, that being that words have meanings, and rhinocerous and nashorn refer to the same animal. Other than that it's tall boxy and grey which is the height of pretension, especially when it doesn't have the armor to be a box tank.

 

Tall is usually not a synonym for squat though, which is why I doubt it is talking about the Nashorn. 

 

Narrower and taller than an ISU. The Jagdtiger is closer in height to it than an Elefant.

 

We are getting lost with the tall vs squat argument.

 

It is pretentious looking. We need a scale for determining what is a pretentious looking tank.

 

Sorry, but I didn't read any further before replying ... most of you already know that I often do that ...

 

Based on the info in the newspaper article, the Russians may not yet have destroyed or captured a Nashorn, but rather may have observed it from a distance as it shot at them from a hull-down poz ...
