Contrary to popular opinion, the Mark IV was the most serviceable, most reliable German tank of the war. The The Tiger and the King Tiger were hanger queens and gas hogs. Way too much money was spent on the a Tiger program that could have been better spent augmenting the Mark IV and making more Panthers,

The Panther, of course, was the premier German tank of the war. However, it had its own teething problems because of its rush into production in mid-1943. Had the Germans built the Panther and the Mark IV the way we built the Sherman, the war in Russia would have been more protracted than it turned out to be.

Yeah. The Mark IV was the work horse all right. One of the problems with the Panther and the Tiger was the over-lapping road wheel set up. To fix say, one wheel behind one in the front you had to take off tow to either side!

The Panther, of course....etc...

I was going to ‘call’ you on Panther but figured it may be a ‘set up’

So I will ask if you are referring to the Panzerkampfwagen?

Just asking....<: <: <:

I read an article that claimed the Germans destroyed between 50-75,000 AFVs (mainly tanks) on the eastern front and also destroyed about 125000 Russian aircraft.
