@BogdanX Yes! The gas thing is bad since they spent so much time camping, but the bridge consideration is unforgivable. To me, the Sherman wasn't such a bad concept, if only the Army would have given it proper AP capabilities, a failure of ideology thanks to their reliance on specialized vehicles, not uncommon at the time but flawed just the same. Everything seems so trial-and-error when we look back, as if no one had any idea what they were getting themselves into.
@BogdanX Bismarck was an excellent BB design. I'm not sure either of the Tigers were a good idea in terms of resources, but hindsight is 20/20. I like Stugs and Hetzers and Type IX submarines, but I have the benefit of history.
@blackvultureaeroespace Bah. Going up against the combined fleets of US and UK was silly. They needed the Luftwaffe to quit goofing around and support the subs, and the Kreigsmarine to give them enough resorces to have the proper number of subs to cut off England. Ego stood in the way of pragmatism.
@blackvultureaeroespace Honestly, the ship was doomed at launch. Using a capital ship as a commerce raider is blatantly stupid. Donitz could've had 4 dozen more subs (or more!) for the same amount of resources. For all their innovation with combined arms on land, the Germans were utterly backwards with naval strategy.

@BogdanX As I've said before, the Bismarck was doomed at launch. Hitler should have set his ego aside and earmarked the resources to Dönitz.
@blackvultureaeroespace Agreed.
@F104Deathtrap That is also true. but they needed to at lest not spread their resources so much and focus on one single thing
