yes, the M3 and M5 are here, but the M4 were gone. at first thought if those tanks still exixting i definetely sure they will equip it with Cockerill 105 turret
Not entirely gone,

While it is the AEV version, it is still technically 'HVSS Sherman'.
.
You might have forgotten about the numbers involved
I always love Sherman. let those crowd babbling about Tiger, panther, Maus, etc.
But Sherman (and T34) are design that win the war!
and looking at its suspension and track wide, this is actually pretty advance late war model.
e.g. Germany never fielded more the 1300 Tiger1's throughout the war.
that was actually also my point on "design that win the war".
Nah... you already out of date when you came up
There was nothing wrong with the design - new tanks or whatever take 1-2 years to evolve. The Panther was indeed a prone to break down vehicle.
Some of them might've been sold to some collectors and museums abroad. The rest, well... I won't be surprised if some dismantled parts are still lying around somewhere in junkyards around Madura island...
Well, we never use Japan WW2 tanks in large numbers during the Indonesian war of Independence. I'd like to imagine that most of the ones we seized from the Japanese Imperial Army and used in the Battle of Surabaya either ended up destroyed or broken down and abandoned. We didn't exactly have much experience operating tanks back then, much less fighting inside one in battle.
Wasn't it Guderian who said that rather than Tiger tanks, he would prefer if the German high command produced more Panzer IV instead? Speaking about Tiger and Pather design, while the interleaved road wheels were effective to provide a smoother ride and a more stable firing platform, they were such a headache to maintain in the fields.
Haha, I don't know if this is true or not but I've read somewhere that in mid-1943, there were talks in the British intelligence HQ to launch an assassination operation to eliminate Hitler. They ended up disapproving the proposal due to the concern that if the operation was successful Germany might have a more competent and sane leader who can prolong the war in their favor.
But even with far limited resources, one must admit that Germany could still design, produce and deploy highly advanced techs which have become the precursors of current military technologies.
True that. While it's a pain in the ass for the maintenance crews, but it's still the best WW2 tank. KwK 36 88mm gun performance was far ahead of anything the allies could deploy when it's started to appear on the frontlines.
I'm truly glad that we choose Germany's Leopard 2 for our first MBT.But sorry - wrong thread anyway
I think it's more like war already going pretty quiet smoothly on Alies favor so US didn't put big emphasis on heavy tank. They were developing Pershing but choose not to deploy them in rush because it still wasn't good enough back then.Some of them might've been sold to some collectors and museums abroad. The rest, well... I won't be surprised if some dismantled parts are still lying around somewhere in junkyards around Madura island...

So if the army still managed to keep the remaining few Japanese tanks out of the Dutch's hands during those times, their historical values are far higher than anything we got from the Dutch post the recognition of the Indonesian sovereignty in 1949.

Although it's not a tank, I still wonder how on earth that German designers and engineers could come up with something like this:

See, I just deflected the discussion so that it's still on the right thread
Perfect - well doneI'm truly glad that we choose Germany's Leopard 2 for our first MBT.

chi ha with dummy cannon.Can someone identify the tank?
Wait, that's dummy?
Hmm... could be a former Type 97 Shi-Ki command tank - later fitted with an "indigenous" turret and gun.Can someone identify the tank?
Turret was original, minus they shut the gap off by welded it.
We need to invest more in Heavy torpedo and AShM.
