Xtrider SG

wat u mean by fear factor? Confused

Bontakun SG

Rear factor is the amount of fear it inflicted on the public and enemy troops alike. Its like you stand on an open field and you see a Tyrannasaurus Rex RUNNING towards you. Feel the fear?

Firepower,Armour, Mobility, Production Rating, Fear Factor:

I agree the T-34 has all factors. It was one big, big shock to all German tankees during Operation Barbarossa. One of the most frightening aspects of the T-34 was its sloped armour. It must have unnerved many a German tankee as they witnessed many of they shots literally getting deflected off the armour. Laughing

That said, it was not without its faults. Its sloped armour gave it good protection, but at the cost of a smaller turret space such that only two men could fit in. The commander thus had to be the gunner and the shell loader as well.

Also, the Soviets couldn't afford to outfit all tanks with radios. Only the company commander's tank and above had a radio, which translates to about one in ten tanks only.

Bontakun SG

This tank production machiam you play C&C... produce liao instant out fresh from da factory and go war...

fudgester SG

Yeah... I remember reading that during the siege of Stalingrad, they literally drove the tanks off the factory line into the battlefield. They didn't bother painting it or putting in gunsights.

The logic was that at such close quarters combat in Stalingrad, you didn't really need a lot of skill to aim. So they saved on a lot of production time and cost by not putting in sights.

Bontakun SG

Ya loh! Really... Russians have very innovative ideas.

1st Place: T34
Highest rating for Firepower,Mobility,Armour,Production, Poor rating for Fear Factor
**Sloped Armour**

fudgester SG

Poor rating for Fear Factor? Why?

I thought the T-34 was a really rude shock for the Germans. Surely having their rounds literally get deflected off the T-34 ought to have unnerved the Germans quite a bit. Confused

SpecOps87 SG

Can somebody share…what’s the use of Challenger using Rifled 120mm while M1 uses Smoothbore 120mm? Isn’t rifled better for accuracy?

Bontakun SG

You look at ONE T-34 compared to ONE Tiger tank. Obviously the Tiger tank registers more fear to the person one on one.

BUT it is the numeric advantage of the T-34 and other factors that won the battle.

SingaporeMacross SG

ah, desperate times call for desperate measures..

M1A1 abrams is best tank in the past and now.They are the key to why the US won the first gulf war against iraq and the recent capturing of saddam.If you read the news analysis of the war carefully you would see M1 abrams always at the frontline.After all ,all the iraqis could do is to send their T-72s/T-62s for a battering by a far superior foreign tank that could enage them a few hundred metres furthur.Even if they do manage to fire first most likely the abrams would sustain little damage which explain why only 4 out of 2000 abrams were disabled during the gulf war.

Second best tank is the British army's Challenger 2.The tak possess incredibly strong armour called Chobham armour.Its composition remains a secret allthough rumors has it that it was made by special ceramics joined together.It role in the gulf war was vital as it ripped iraq's republican guard on less tha 100 hours.Armed with a 120mms turret it could destroy any known russian built tank.

Third best tank the german built tiger ?? Heard it was so had so heavy an armour it moved quite slowly but other then that had superior fire power and could destroy ANYTHING.However it was too costly that germany could only afford to make 100 plus (I think).

maggot SG

Where's the missile tank? Confused

spawnoflight SG

Advise me if you beg to differ.Thanks

SpecOps87 SG

M1 Abrams though mighty and strong, against T72s and T62s...its a turkey shoot. And thankfully the US had the resource to back them up. Also it uses Gasoline ie.Petrol instead of Diesel. That's a big nono for me man. Diesel is less flammable as compared to petrol which burns very readily.
