It's not the tanks that are fantas...@MuppetOne<br /><br />It's not the tanks that are fantasy-based, it's the battles that they're in. I doubt there was ever a battle between a Pershing and a Tiger, even though it happens all the time in WoT. In real life you had mostly M4 Shermans with the M3 Lee or 105mm gun which of course did nothing. When the Fireflies started rolling in they outnumbered Tigers and Panthers and destroyed them. So Tigers were great tanks, but they were very expensive (only about 1000 were ever produced) and eventually advances in gun penetration on the Allied side made their armor useless, so there... I suppose you could make the Tiger Tier 6 by shaving off 500 HP and the 88L/71 (which it didn't have in real life) to make its armor more meaningful. There's an idea for a premium tank.Logehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975988770304115142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-125068319026285072012-09-17T17:16:52.757+03:002012-09-17T17:16:52.757+03:00JSW225,

Some ideas from RU forum but admins there found it is "fan art" not an prototype as current turret for E100<br /><br />http://forum.worldoftanks.ru/index.php?/topic/504399-%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D1%82%D1%8210-%D0%B3%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B8-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80/page__p__12735765#entry12735765<br /><br />Some really good ideas pop up from RU forum as for gun rebalance for this flak gun. I would 100% use this instead of 150mm as the turret just looks so much more legen-wait for it -dary.... give me this setup for E100 and I dont mind weak lowerplate as it could really be burst dmg sniper as WG tells German tanks should be.<br /><br />When an expert takes a look at these turrets (currently ingame, maus turret and this flak e100 turret) by historical accuracy shouldn't E100 have a option to mount flak as also 150mm cannon? This might also change the community wishes for german top tier sniper heavy. What is the opinion about this model form devs? is it realistic to 1 day see one of those rolling on world of tanks?Lohendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091550466723277979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-7960606256301470582012-09-17T15:40:11.446+03:002012-09-17T15:40:11.446+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lohendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091550466723277979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-21244718296815343192012-09-16T20:16:32.130+03:002012-09-16T20:16:32.130+03:00Could you ask him to write some stuff on the Maus ...Could you ask him to write some stuff on the Maus II?

Doyle:<br /><br />1) What can you tell us about the belleville washer suspension intended for the E-series? Did the single E-100 hull completed actually have this type of suspension? How well did this suspension work on the Swiss tanks that used it? For that matter, how and why did the Swiss end up using belleville washer suspension? I'm particularly curious if the stack of belleville washers doubles as a friction snubber.<br /><br />2) How much is known about the VK3002(DB)? How many hulls were built? Did they have elliptical leaf spring or torsion bar suspension? Osprey's _Panther vs. T-34_ suggests that the type of suspension for the panther was a point of major contention and political intrigue; is that so, and if it is so, how did Porsche get away with using his goofy suspension designs on all his tanks? Finally, were there any planned variants of the VK3002(DB) that got as far as drawings or other proposals?<br /><br />3) How much information is there yet to be discovered in old German wartime archives? Has everything pretty much been looked thoroughly, or is new or under-examined material still surfacing?<br /><br />4) How long did it take for the Germans to build their tanks in WWII? Again, according to Osprey's _Panther vs. T-34_ the panther took eighteen times more man-hours to build than a T-34-76. Do you have any idea where these figures came from, and whether they are accurate? If German tanks did take longer to build than allied tanks, was it because their designs were complicated or because German industrial techniques were inefficient?<br /><br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br />My questions for Mr. Yuriy Pasholok:<br /><br />1) Were there any particularly interesting Soviet tank designs either on the drawing board or in trials that got cancelled because Khrushchev reduced the emphasis on conventional forces and heavy tanks?<br /><br />2) How well did the half-length torsion bar suspension on the IS-7 and T-64 work? How on earth are the mechanics supposed to replace a broken torsion bar on these designs when the torsion bars are anchored in the center of the underside of the hull as opposed to the opposite side of the hull in conventional designs where they can simply be driven out?<br /><br />3) To what extent were the Soviet heavy tank programs politically favored by Stalin?<br /><br />4) How did the Soviet engineers hit upon the concept of the pointed hull (pike nose) on the IS-3, T-10 and IS-7 heavy tanks? Did they have any special techniques for welding armor that thick?<br /><br />5) Why were the Soviets so far ahead in using transversely-mounted engines (i.e. with the driveshaft of the engine perpendicular to the tracks)? Why is the recent Object 187 said to use a longitudinally-mounted engine? Isn't that a step backwards?<br /><br />6) Did Soviet designers ever experiment with interleaved roadwheels like on the panther and tiger?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-79491615413206292782012-09-14T18:30:13.067+03:002012-09-14T18:30:13.067+03:00Were the E-90 and Krokodil real german concepts or...Were the E-90 and Krokodil real german concepts or are they fantasy tanks ?Dagannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202981450579685996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-34908698516058968262012-09-14T16:10:39.628+03:002012-09-14T16:10:39.628+03:00A question for Sir Doyle :

As it was, the Tiger could choose its targets at will, and destroy them at ranges they either couldn't hit; or if they could hit, couldn't defeat the Tiger's thick armor. The Tiger I maintained this stand off capability until nearly the end of the war, as it was only outclassed by the Russian Josef Stalin heavy tank.<br /><br />Erm...lets see......i play my Tiger, i get 1 hit: Engine on fire, another hit, Driver dead, another hit, Gun broken....<br /><br />something about; or if they could hit, couldn't defeat the Tiger's thick armor.<br /><br />???????????
