exactly, general

[Sgt. Nuker]

Tank: Merkava Mk. III/IV This tank deserves a little more recognition, and the IDF have given it some pretty slick innovations, not to mention it looks pretty sweet.

Helicopter: Mi-24 Hind. Not because everyone else is saying it's the best, but because it can do multiple things, and do those things well. It's a true gunship, and it's awesome to look at.


Regards,

Major Nuker

Not really. In fact German armour was always inferior to those of other major nations in the early years of WWII. Its only till they introduced the Panther and the Tiger as well as super heavy armoured vehicles that they really had superiority in armour.

They won their great early victories because of Blitzkrieg.

I believe the Ruskies kicked their asses with the T-27 or 72 I can't remember the name but they owned all.

[Whitey]

72? wrong era my friend.

[Moosy Crisp]

Like I said, it had a T in front of it but I can't remember exactly, so nanner nanner boo boo. Oh, it hit me, It's a T-32!

[AllStarZ]

The overall best tank of World War II must be the T-34, no question about it. It had a clean balance between speed, firepower, and protection, as well as a reliability record and ruggedness that beat the hell out of any German tank, period.

Balance is important in tanks. Think about it this way:

If you had a tank which emphasized armour and firepower, then it would be a sitting duck for aircraft, expensive and difficult to produce, as well as not there when you need it, as it would keep breaking down, and have limited fuel range and speed due to its weight. (As with the Jagdtiger, King Tiger, and Tiger tanks).

If you had a tank which emphasized speed and firepower, then it would be able to take out a ton of tanks, but would ultimately get its ass kicked because as fast as a tank can be, it isn't faster than a tank shell (The best example is the Hellcat)

If it plain emphasized speed, it would dart around before someone puts a big fat tank shell in its turret to stop it (A13 Cruiser).

If you had a tank which emphasized armour, then its armament would be completely ineffective at longer ranges against most tanks, and would therefore have to go closer to deal damage and therefore nullify the advantages in armor. (as happened with the British Matilda II). Same would go if it emphasized speed as well.

If it simply emphasized armour, then it would be nothing more than a mobile lead weight, barely able to do anything.

I don't see why poeple like the mi-24 so much, the afgans wiped the floor with that thing. Plus its so big that it dosnt even seem practical in modern warfare.

Urban combat + stinger = dead mi-24.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's heavily armed, armored, and can carry troops. Think Apache but less high-tech, bigger, and mixed with a huey.

[DEATH584]

I under stand that, but if you lose one to some wise ass with a stinger and its like, "OMG I just lost my huge expensive choper to an inexpenive stinger missile."
And as history has shown us, this choper is no match for USA backed gurrilas.

[AllStarZ]

No, the Taliban could've handled them on their own.

Besides, you backed South Vietnamese and French guerilla soldiers, and they failed miserably.

[DEATH584]

Dosn't matter, your still insulting the mi-24. But any way the French were doomed to lose and if the US really wanted to win in veitnam(as in the public) they could have.

[AllStarZ]

The thing is that they didn't. And the FFI in WWII failed too.
