| Milites Gregarius | I am polish and I have few troubles with english language...Sorry I agree with you...I was talking about sloped armour...But I used bad word...Obviously, sloped armour is good thing...But german Panther had sloped armour too and they designed their tank this way because they saw T-34 and its armour which was difficult to destroy...Caterpillars was also seen in T-34...

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | The King Tiger is very similar to todays modern tank in many ways, but lacks the computerised fire systems, thank goodness our chaps did not run into to many of them. But the best tank of WW2 I think would have to go to the Russian T 34. It's extra wide tracks made very good in all terrains, it's sloping armour gave it that extra protection. It was crude and simple and easy to maintain and did it's job extremely well. The tiger was a fine tank and when it worked it first class but they had so many problems with it on the mechanical side and it was over engineered which put many repair task beyond the crews ability to do them.
