@Pilotmario and in most situations the panthers were defending, allowing them to position themselves in a way that gave them the advantage, such as looking towards the shermans
@Pilotmario nope, the Panther was far superior to the Sherman, but it was a lot harder to produce. why is it better you may ask? 1. the sherman couldnt pen the front of the panther due to angling and the effective thickness, while the panther could easily pen the front of the sherman as well as its smaller counterparts the Pz 4 H and Pz 4 F2. 2. its cannon was far superior due to the better Penetration values and lethality of its amazing APCBC (HE) shot once it penetrated. but the sherman outnumberd the panther greatly, due to how easily it was built and the strength of the american war industry. this is the main reason the allies won the war (not mentioning the fact that Hitler was a bad tactician)
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Reactive armour is useless against multiple projectiles, the point of reactive armour is to explode when the projectile impact, meaning if a Paternian soldier fires a 3-shot burst the reactive armour is only going to stop 1, meaning the other 2 will continue on their path to kill the soldier inside the suit
@Pilotmario yes but during combat report studying we have concluded that the standard engagement range for suburban environments is about 500-800m and for rural 500-1000m (while for urban it would be 100-500m), and think that a high power battle rifle round, which can use standard ammo and even DS rounds to penetrate battle armour would be necessary
@Pilotmario different from the normal L/40 on the PZ 4 F2
@Pilotmario and an upgraded L/48 KwK gun only otherwise seen on the PZ 4 and later StuG models
@1gman4evr very briefly
Tb-3 based?
@Pilotmario the Panzer 4 H had 80mm of unsloped frontal armour
@Pilotmario the Germans would have done better in the war if they stuck to the Pz 4 and just kept upgrading it
@Pilotmario Hitler was a bad tactician
@Pilotmario it was designed to be able to kill the Kv1, T34, Kv2 and IS1
@Pilotmario thats not an opinion, its fact
@Pilotmario yep, the panthers also had the advantage of range
@Pilotmario and in most situations the panthers were defending, allowing them to position themselves in a way that gave them the advantage, such as looking towards the shermans
@Pilotmario yes but the panther F had a better turret
@Pilotmario the panther (A) was a simple thing to knock out, the panther F is a different story
@Pilotmario Opinions differ, in mine I would much rather be a crew member of a Panther
@ChaMikey yeah

@ChaMikey damn Pz 4 f2s always penning me through the front even though im angled! -_-
@Flash0of0green no problem
@Himynameiswalrus nice plane though
@deusalgor thanks!
@deusalgor oops, here
@Pilotmario exactly, It wouldnt work at such a small scale
@Pilotmario so about the reactive armour, i dont think it could stop a 3-shot burt
@Pilotmario really? oh damn
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation the round an AK47 fires is a 5.56mm round, I doubt it could penetrate proper body armour
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation using FMJ? ammo?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation a 1 second full auto burst would seem fatal
thanks @Kerbango
@deusalgor but I cant edit it (i dont have PC simpleplanes)
@AstleyIndustries hahaha

@Pilotmario I know how APCR works, only a part of it is rigid, but using DS round a hit to the power pack isn't necessary
@Pilotmario may I still send you the type?
@Pilotmario its a free gift
@Pilotmario do you still want them?
@deusalgor I lost my iPod touch (i build on it)
@Pilotmario ahh I see ;)

may we send you 1000 B-84M MBTs to assist in your efforts? @Pilotmario
we are designing a version that fires the 10.4x70mm
We are designing a version that fires a wide jet of white phosphorus
@Pilotmario does it still have copper?
@Pilotmario ahh
@Booster456 good work!
@arcues Hahahaha this is what i submitted
@deusalgor damn, I had this P51-D10
HEAT-DM?
so does it have to be a successor?
@Himynameiswalrus breaking the chain
@Himynameiswalrus im not in Awwam
