11:24 if you see the two tanks, you'll notice the diference, the T-28 soviet tank is an interwar meduim tank desing were its firts prototype was in 1931-1932 and the american T-28 ´´Doom Turtle´´ is a super heavy tank destroyer produced in the late 45. Also a diference is that T-28(soviet) was in service almost to the end of the 44 and the ´´Doom Turtle´´ only has 2 samples built
Oh so there were two models I see I see sort of like the one time germany and Britain came together to share blueprints to mesh the Bf 1 and the spitfire into one fighter as a mark of respect to each other except this feels more like America just trying to one up Russia again
@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart is kind of funny that there is also two american early cold war tanks that were the T26 and the T34, two names of another ww2 soviet tanks
10:50 Actually the Sherman is a pretty good fit. It's an excellent medium tank with pretty good mobility, good turret traverse, and good reload time. The armor is actually pretty decent for a medium tank. And the original 75mm gun could knock out the Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs that it faced most of the time. For heavier tanks, the Easy Eight or the M4A1 76mm would more than suffice, especially if it had the HVAP round. Shermans also saw success against T34-85s in the korean war and also saw success against cold war russian tanks in the six day war and in the yom kippur war as a support tank once it was upgunned with the 105mm gun. Yes i'm a shameless sherman fan. I'm tired of people saying it was a death trap. It wasn't.
I wouldn’t say it was a death trap, if anything I’d say the mark IV was one for sure but the Sherman is just okay in my mind, so many were made and very easy to operate but easy doesn’t always mean better, but I’m definitely biased when it comes to German tank’s because unlike our planes we didn’t really have anything that could compete engineering based when it came to tanks like the tiger E type the panzer the panther the Jadpather shall I go on, most people remember the Sherman for being made quick and in vast numbers, like the British spitfire, made out of the kitchen sink of most council estates but still got the job done
@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart the German tank such as the Tiger, panther, and King Tiger definitely had the edge in the hard factors, Armor and Firepower, but the soft factors such as mobility and turret traverse is where the Sherman shines. The Tiger and Panther, while brilliant when they were in their element, I.e. on solid ground during a range engagement, were finicky and quite unreliable. The Sherman (and I mean the one with the 76mm upgun) could take them out. The Sherman also was one of the first tanks to feature a short stop gyrostabilizer, one that some armored units used to great effect. I'm not saying German tanks weren't good, I'm just saying they weren't as good
@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart I like food and i like tanks.... uh..... food since my brother is tanks (keeps begging me for space for his 200+ model collection)
