minus-squareyeehaw@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·23 hours agoIt can’t realistically tow heavy loads cause the hitch breaks off, and it can’t travel far with heavy loads. Definitely not the king tiger of trucks.
minus-squarenot_so_handsome_jack@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·21 hours agoWasn’t the king tiger notorious for breaking down constantly? Or was that a different German WW2 tank?
minus-squaresupersquirrel@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 hours agoEven up to present day conflict tanks breaking down or getting stuck can be a major loss of armor, especially during prolonged maneuvers.
minus-squarerottingleaf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 hours agoThat’s every one of those big German tanks everybody talks about. The ones they started the war with were pretty fine (limited by terrain, though).
minus-squarePhoenicianpirate@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·20 hours agoAlso dangerous for crews. Sherman tank crews had a 75% survival rating when their tank got bust. I think the tiger had an 80% death rate or something.
minus-squareKorhaka@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 hours agoIs that because of the tank though, or the situation it ended up in? If they had 20 modern MBTs I expect they would still end up with a high fatality rate.
