Introduction |
---|
Far more useful to the German cause than the ungainly Maus would have been the other, smaller designs melding speed, protection and the awesome "long" 88mm gun. German industry did not fully mobilize for war until the odds had firmly tilted against the Axis, and the capacity to build these tanks in the same numbers as American and Soviet factories never existed. But on the tactical level, the tanks would have made a serious difference. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Panther II was designed to "regain" German superiority on the armored battlefield - though in truth, outside of North Africa the Germans never really had much of an edge in tank quality at any time during the war. The Panther II was a much better medium tank than the T44, but thanks to Nazi "efficiency" it could never have been built in numbers approaching those of a Soviet vehicle. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Use 3 SS Pz V and 4 SS Pz IVH as German Army and all Soviet units are guards. |
