M4a3e8(76)w vs Panzer V vs T34

I really liked the response I got from my poll on heavy tanks so I thought I'd add a list for medium tanks as well. If someone thinks I missed a tank and should add one to the poll just let me know.

Then explain how the Germans were winning the war in 41?
Unexpected attack and most of Soviet air forces destroyed on the ground.
Combined with superior armor, better troops and Generals. With the best moral as well!
is that why they lost?? What a shame in such case ))))

No, they lost because of *beeeeeeeeeeeeep* Hitler.

sure, it is just an excuse.

Germany couldn't compete with USSR in man power, resources , equipment ( in later stages) or willingness to go to the end. They didn't stand a chance

That's why they nearly took Moscow, and could have taken it, if it wasn't for Hitler.

Proof?

Quasi-duck wrote:

Proof?
Of what? Of the fact that they were in the outskirts of Moscow, or of the fact that Hitler delayed the invasion for 3 weeks that would've been crucial.

No, that if Hitler had not been giving orders, victory in Moscow was assured. Do you have proof? History says no.

If Hitler hadn't decided to help Mussolini, Op Barbarossa would've started 3 weeks earlier, which would've been an immense advantage, as Moscow would've fallen. Also, Hitler took command of the Wehrmacht on December 19th, 1941, which was when Army Group Centre started retreating from Moscow.

That doesn't matter. German flanks were covered by men armed with a few rifles, broom poles and tanks from the 20's. That is why Axis forces were routed at Stalingrad.

Axis forces were routed at Stalingrad because Hitler didn't allow them to retreat, and because the Soviets poured infinite numbers of men in.

Soooo what you're trying to say is, if USSR hadn't used its tactics, developed in the 20's and 30's and called Deep Operations, Germany would have conquered them in WWII?

No, what I'm saying is that if Hitler had allowed his generals to counter those tactics, they would've won.

How does one counter Deep Operation tactics? Remember, if the Soviets are having trouble with the frontline Germans they will just attack the Romanians and Italians at the sides.

not a single chance. They could have started weeks or months earlier, it wouldn't matter, the end result would be the same, with or without Hitler.

Look at history. No invader came out of Russia victorious. It was a bad idea in the first place to go against USSR.

Well, the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth did. They kinda became Russian then though.

EDIT: My bad, they only got about as far as Moscow.

Not necessarily. Jump into space, someone has to succeed, y'know?
