What if...?

If 4 Abrams with spareparts (For repairs) and crews were sent to WWII with a 'time machine'. What will happen?
I think the German won't stand a change

Don't doubt that. The technology they had is still capable of seriously damaging and disabling an Abrams. And then what happens if they disable one and take control of it?

Don't underestamate (sp?) WWII German tanks, Even today (IMO) A Tiger tanks can whoop M1A2's serious ass and a SturmTiger (right?) can blast the shit out of the abrams.
now me
WWTGDI A whole Abrams Battalion with spareparts (For repairs) and crews were sent to WWII with a 'time machine' ?

Maybe send a stuka to do the job, except if the abrams also bring the Avenger

once the abrams is out of fuel then what are you gonna do. brams have a turbine engine and not the piston based ones that normal tanks use. after it guzzles its gas the abrams will be a piece of junk. a better idea would be to send back a M-60 or a T-72.

Sending a T90 would help too. Or a Challenger, even thouhg he is almost the same as abrams, correct me if im wrong.

What about sending an Emperor Tank ! , well we not have this tank now but have the thecnology to do so

If you gave them a modern aircraft carrier full of next-generation bombers and fighters plus ammo and fuel, then maybe something would have changed.
Dunno how it would have fared without GPS and stuff.

I wonder if you plonked a JSF on a German runway back in the day if they would have figured out how to use it properly, and would have been able to replicate the technology using 1940's equipment???

Maybe...... Ah i know a B52 carrying 5 MOABS, One for Berlin, One for Tokio, One for some place in Italy, One for Hiroshima and one for Nagasaki. The last 2 because America is going to nuke them anyways

They would likely disassemble it for examination. Then they would copy the technology as much as possible, and then they would attempt to reverse-engineer a design which would be reasonably useable with what they have at their disposal.
And if it was in the 5th century, it would've been destroyed by Vikings.
