I'll fix those tracks too. Also what's derpy about front wheel so I can fix? @round moth
lavish fox
@high ledge I think he means to make them look more like the ones that are on the tank.
On the wheels that is.
peak oyster
I feel the rear wheel looks a bit more out of alignment, it feels like it's turned a tad more to one side than the rest
dire plinth
@high ledge well, it has to be a bit rounder, just like the other wheels, it looks more of an oval
In fact, egg shaped, plus, is it the same width as the track's width or it is supposed to be smaller?
Also, in perspective it does have to be oval, but if you look at the line going trough the centre, it is not straight, it is not very circular, you need to work on the roundness of the shape a bit. Should be good if you do that.
The other track should have one more part showing behind the tank, it looks like it is rounding inside of it, try to imagine the perspective lines, going to a vanishing point. Right track goes well, tho, it's just that it looks angled somehow.

Indeed

While I think German Tanks look nice, Id rather be in a Sherman

The Maus

Ah, a delicious free kill for striker air craft

@agile knoll That's what a British tank crew man said.
Until they were asked which tank they'd rather be in if they were getting shipped to war.
Then they definitely said the Tiger.
agile knoll
Im more of a Spitfire man myself
And can I get a source on that, just curious
lavish fox
At the end of the day everybody and their grandmother would rather be behind 100mm of Krupp Stahl.

Athought US tank look like weak, fighter is very well
lavish fox
I saw it a long time ago in an interview between Otto Carius and a British tank crew man but can't find the fucking video of it.
And fighters had high mortality rates.
Tanks had the least such.
@agile knoll I'll try to find the video just for you tho.
agile knoll
Yeah, people tend to forget being a pilot was dangerous
Cheers, Im not a big ww2 guy tbh, Used to be but im more interested in ww1

This is sadly the only thing I could find but I know I heard or read it somewhere at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-EQJTc-UZs
agile knoll
Ah ill give it a look, cheers mdude
sterile pumice
Oh yes
lavish fox
They both basically agreed that the Tiger was a lumbering beast compared to the Sherman but both would rather be in a Tiger than anything else at the end of it all.
The greatest tank aces such as Kurt Knispel, Martin Schroif, Otto Carius (dude above), Michael Wittmann and Hans Bolter were all in Tigers.
sterile pumice
The best tankman of the history
lavish fox
Nah Kurt had almost 200 confirmed kills.
left wind
Behold, strongest tank out there on the market
sterile pumice
I even have a book he written
sterile pumice
Sure
lavish fox
I also recommend Panzer Ace by Richard von Rosen, he was in charge of the 3rd Company, 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion, Kurt's unit.
agile knoll
Top scoring tank ace of the Allies was a Canadian
one thing to note on german written memoirs at least from higher ups is that...they tend to shift blame, Mannesteins is literally "Everyone is stupid except for me"
lavish fox
There also another book I really recommend by Hans von Luck, an officer of first the 7th Panzer Division and later in the 21st who served under Rommel in both theaters.
@agile knoll Canadian was longest shot I think.
Top scoring is Kurt Knispel like I said.
And most German generals really did blame Hitler, that is true.
You can definitely get that from both Manstein's Lost Victories and Guderians' Panzer Leader.
agile knoll
I mean the Allies but yeah its why I tend to take most first person officer writings with a big grain of salt
lavish fox
@agile knoll Can you give me a name of the Canadian dude?
Cause I just know a Alfie guy in Africa but he was a Brit, and Craington Abrams and "Wardaddy" Lafayette of the 3rd US Armored Division on the US side.
agile knoll
Canadian Mad lad
willow rapids
That is stone..
lavish fox
The problem with Wittmann is that they just used him as a poster boy for propaganda purposes too fucking much just because he was from the Waffen SS.
That's why I don't like him as much.
And as much as people claim that the Waffen SS were elite and shit, it's the regular Heer units that did most of the heavy lifting.
Same with the Soviet NKVD units, too glorified over nothing.
Just propaganda bullshit.
Fanatics were just that, fanatics and nothing more.
If you just look at some of the kill ratings you'll see that the regular Wehrmacht units achieved more with much less than their Waffen SS counterparts who were bigger and better equipped.
agile knoll
If the Waffen SS was so elite, Why did they lose is the big question I ask
severe carbon
Because wehrabooโs
lavish fox
And I also see a lot of people wanting to cosplay and act as the Waffen SS in games and in real life.
severe carbon
Thatโs why
agile knoll
and the Excuse "ThEy HaD mOrE mEn ThAn ThEy HaD bUlLeTs" is stupid

Also german field caps are sick so i cant blame him ;p

@agile knoll Found a written interview with Carius: http://tankarchives.blogspot.com/2014/08/carius-interview.html

The reason people mention waffen ss as elite is because of the fact that they were fanatics

@cyan parrot thabk you

Obviously, but being a fanatical fighter often hones your combat capabilities
rancid carbon
SS was usually more well equiped, so it would make sense especially for their tank companies to perform at a higher level
rancid carbon
Hence usually
