Didn't their early war tanks actually fuck up German tanks because of their thick, sloped armor and meme cannons?

Japan's were fairly standard for interwar designs, they just put little priority in to developing them after it became clear that they were outdated.

You would think after almost 2 years burgers would learn how to climb, yet I still stomp them at deck in my Zero.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the same thing as far as I know.
>>
>>126007969

not him but

The turret front/face is the front facing armor of the turret
The mantlet is the thick armor that sits infront of the vertical turret drive and cannon breech

The turret face is weaker in almost all cases
>>
>>126007727

Most of the French tanks were WWI Renault FTs with few modern designs combat ready.

>>126007808
I do fly the mig. I just wanted to take out my CL to bitch about it. I honestly wouldn't mind if they removed that piece of shit from the game
>>
>>126007746
Some nation has to flank harder if they want to keep on playing
As a direct consequence, some nation has to have a better situational awareness, as they will be more subject to flanking
Yet they don't no matter how many time they get flanked

Don't get me wrong, i'm naziboo as fuck, but they manage to get me pretty fucking mad

Don't bother with the M47, period. It should honestly be removed after the M46 got heat anyways, all it is now is an RP filler between the M46 and the M60.

>>126008186
Thanks, didn't realize what he meant. Not sure what exactly is wrong with shooting the turret front however, which has 165mm of armour instead of mantlet which has 400+mm of effective armour where the armour overlaps. I mean, it's the same as Sherman (76)s and on M26, M46, M47 tanks, they have great mantlet, but the armour surrounding it is easily penetrable by most Tier 4 things without too much of a problem. Why aim for the mantlet at all?

Guten tag /wtg/, my name is Bill Stahl.
I’m a 27 year old American Axis history enthusiast (Wehraboo for you allied war criminals). I draw iron crosses on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Germans in games. (Call of Duty, Company of Heroes)

I train with my Sturmgewehr 44 every day, this superior weapon can punch clean through Russian steel because it is made from Kruppstahl, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my Iron Cross with Oak Leaves from my Axis reenactment group two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak German fluently, both Alemannic and the Swabian dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about German history and their Prussian code, which I follow 100%

When I get my German visa, I am moving to Munich to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a Panzer commander or a political speechwriter!

I own several Hugo Boss SS uniforms, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Germany, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my fuhrers and speak German as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in the Reich!

No, it's because the 77mm fires 75mm shell.
>>
>>126020653

Wrong.

They're both 76.2 mm.
>>
>>126020653
The 77mm HV is a shortened 17 pdr with less propellant in it's shells, and so it's ammo isn't interchangeable with the 17 pdr.

The British started work on developing a gun that was small enough to fit on their tank designs - particularly the Cromwell cruiser tank then at the design stage - firing the US 75 mm projectiles (AP shot and HE) but at higher velocity. This 50 calibre long gun, firing a 75mm projectile

It's literally just a shortened 17pdr that fires 75mm shells

The British started work on developing a gun that was small enough to fit on their tank designs - particularly the Cromwell cruiser tank then at the design stage - firing the US 75 mm projectiles (AP shot and HE) but at higher velocity. This 50 calibre long gun, firing a 75mm projectile attached to a necked down 3-inch (76.2 mm) 20 cwt AA gun cartridge through a modified breech, known as the Vickers HV 75 mm, used a larger propellant charge in a larger cartridge. Although the 75 mm HV was a promising weapon, it proved to be too big for the Cromwell tank, which was fitted with the normal QF 75 mm gun in use on other British tanks. When the Cromwell's replacement - the Comet - was at the design stage, the 75 mm HV concept was reworked to fire the same projectiles as the 17-pounder through a shortened 17-pounder barrel, but retaining the 3-inch cartridge case firing from a standard 3-inch breech.[5]

Jesus what's hard to understand. It's a shortened 17pdr that shoots 75mm shells because the brits had so many spare 75mm's

The HV (high velocity) part comes from a 17pdr shooting 75mm a ie. a sub calibre shell

The electric transmission was actually a really fucking novel concept and was later used in a lot of heavy construction equipment, iirc.

The downside is, in a fatfuck overloaded tank it had a nasty tendency to spontaneously catch fire all the time .

>>126024472
It used to have an awesome reverse speed, like the Ferdinand. You could reverse back on Poland and T-44s&co couldn't catch you and actually aiming for your weakspots is too hard. Few months ago both the Tiger and Ferdy had their speed nerfed so now they are kinda shit. At least the Ferdy is spacious as fuck so they have a really hard time killing you even from the side, Porsche Tiger is just shit.

And yeah, acceleration in reverse is actually faster, that was one of the first things I noticed on Maus when it got added to the dev server back then
