[editline]13th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ze beaver;28539631] Now to start a debate (or a flamewar...) which tank influenced post-war designs the most, Panther or T-34?[/QUOTE] T-34, Slanted armour is still used today, aswell as the design premise which is used in almost every tank.
[QUOTE=GEARSofWAR360;28573426]bad guys? they were doing more good than evil.[/QUOTE] Care to explain?
the world would be safer and a better place without jews, homosexuals, slavs and retarded people.

slavs are ruthless, brutal people. they only think about killing otheers. retarded people do not reserve to live, and if we were to put them down we would actually be doing them a big favor. besides, we waste so much money taking care of them. Homosexuals are child molesters.

In Kraków, Soviet entry into the city was accompanied by mass rapes of Polish women and girls, as well as the plunder of private property by Soviet soldiers. According to these sources, this behavior reached such a scale that even Polish communists installed by the Soviet Union were preparing a letter of protest to Joseph Stalin himself, while church masses were held in expectation of a Soviet withdrawal.[37][/quote] [quote]After the final repulse of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Soviet troops entered Germany, Romania, and Hungary in late 1944. Red Army soldiers were by then aware of the German Nazi war crimes, and often executed surrendering or captured German soldiers, in retaliation. There were numerous accounts of war crimes by Soviet armed forces—plunder, the murder of civilians, and rape. In both Soviet and current Russian history books on the "Great Patriotic War" these war crimes are rarely mentioned.[14][15][/quote] [quote]Between 1941-1944, Soviet partisan units conducted raids into Finnish territory and attacked civilian targets such as villages. In November 2006, photographs showing atrocities were declassified by the Finnish authorities. These include images of slain women and children.[38][39][40][/quote] truly sub-human.

I believe that a lot of people simply hold back from behavior like that because it isn't socially acceptable or legal. Human beings are very advanced in a lot of ways, but we're susceptible to behaving like animals, too. When you recognize that tendency in yourself, it's easier to avoid acting like that.

My only disbelief is these holy texts, for example Christianity which i still try to find my basis for belief in(no real success yet) that recorded the event of mankind from the first step to the foretelling of a saviour, my only arguement is how do we know the text isnt corrupted or is fictionalized? yes there was the council of trent about 200 years after Jesus Christ death? but who knows if the council of trent even put in the right books or put the wrong one in? why should i believe in a text that could be a load of bull as Man time and time and time again shown to be corrupted and greedy as we first reasoned in the beginning. Faith is important but blindly believing without really going into the frameworks can be disturbing.
Shermans M4's were sadly overrated tanks, the M26 Pershing is the far better tank that absolutely out gunned it's German rivals when it hit the field. WWII / Korean War era tanks are absolutely fascinating me and are amazing.

Religion and science can coexist. And I do believe religious texts have been corrupted, too. The Bible has been translated and reinterpreted so many times, it's hard to believe what actually belongs in there and what doesn't.

The Tiger's biggest strength was it's murderously effective main gun. It's biggest problem was it was a pricey bitch to produce and had its share of reliability problems. But I do agree somewhat it was one of the best tanks (looking at it from a design perspective, the thing was an absolute horror to fight against for allied troops and M4 sherman crewmen alike).

Tiger are nice but a bit slow, i like to think of them as movable 88's with armor really =S whereas the t34 functioned more as a tank with economical regards

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;28576543]Weren't they too heavy to go over some bridges as well?[/QUOTE] nah T-34 were about 45tons when the tiger was 56 tons 60 t-34 could be made for 1 tiger and the Tiger flipped over a bridge that was stationed with the 502nd

The Slavs hated Jews on top of it. The Slavs were as bad as Jews in some German's eyes.
The main problem with the Tiger was how unreliable it was. The 88 was an excellent weapon, it had enough armor to withstand just about anything the enemy would throw at it and even though it was a bit slow it could keep up with other units unlike the KV line of tanks.
