Guys
Check out the video clip on this page(it'll take a while to load on dial up) and tell me I'm not seeing a Lee/Grant along with a Panther G and Tiger 1.

Panther G

Looks like the panther outperforms the grant going over obstacles.

Looks like a propaganda film to show the superiority of the Panther over an American tank. I'd like to see the Panther compared to a T-34 -- the tank design the Germans ripped off to build the Panther. The T-34 would run circles around that cat.

how high is that wall they're going over?

Shain
At a rough guess I would say approx 2' - 2'6" (60 - 75 cm)

They didn't quite ripp it off. They wanted too, but the German's have more pride in their workmanship then to just steal someone's design.

and thus they ended up with a relatively inferior tank compared to the T-34/85...all the bugs were out of the T-34, the Panther never really got over them. Pride can be a downfall afterall... (snigger, snigger)

(yes, I prefered the russkies over the germans in WWII)

Now, to make things really cool, imagine the T-34 with a german 75mm or 88mm...or better yet, the T-34 used in a german armour unit, with proper discipline, radios, and leadership...(shudder)

Is it just me or does it look like there may be a "booster wall" on the panther side during the wall climb? Almost like it takes a 'step up' before the actual wall?? Nevermind...its too late to ponder that one..
