And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
84,070 T-34 tanks were built compared to 1,350 Tigers. Tractor factories were producing T-34's at a rate were they were abandoned when damaged. Where Tigers had to be maintained, which slowed down troop movement. No parts, no tanks!
The T-34-85 on the left was a good Russian tank during World War 2. Some main problems with it were that the tracks could be easily broken, or the welds can crack because on many models, the hull wasn't welded properly. The Tiger H1, on the right is a good competitor for the T-34-85, although the front armor isn't sloped, the angling on the Tiger works like a charm, having effective thickness on the front of around 130mm when angled.
Cool photo. The one on the right is much the better tank, but you can build 5 of the ones on the left for the cost of one on the right.
ReplyDeleteslope armor. I'd go for the russian one.
