I knew the Sherman tanks had issues with getting their ammo racks hit and having their turret blown off, but I'd never seen that happen to Tigers. Great set DH.
That's the best version of the Sherman. Bigger turret for the 17 pdr long barrel cannon. Iirc, it was a British only version of the M4.
Ya, lucky that Pershing made a good shot on the Panzer.the cologne tank duel is one of my favorite moments of world war II
Damn those "Sherman" tanks were built better,and more durible,than the US.Thousands of military servicemen on all sides of World War Two lost their lives when the enemy took out their armored vehicles (tanks, half tracks, troop carriers, self propelled guns, etc). This thread will be mostly about tanks but will include other types of mobile armored vehicle.
In the case of a tank being knocked by enemy fire, the crew may or may not have survived the initial impact of the explosive projectile that took out their tank. If an enemy shell hit the turret, the commander might have been killed along with his gunner. If a shell hit the front of the tank then the driver and/or the front machine gunner were likely to be killed.
If a tank's payload of ammunition didn't explode and incinerate the crew on the spot, then any survivors would scramble to get out of the tank. Some exited their tank with their hair, uniforms, boots, etc. on fire and often burned to death on the ground as the tank beside them burned. Others, who were wounded or unscathed, would escape the tank only to be shot dead by small arms fire from enemy infantry or machine gun fire from the enemy tank/s.

Hey GST not sure what you mean here, the Sherman was American but was nicknamed 'the Ronson' because the fuel tanks when hit put a flame out of the turret hatch like a lighter.Damn those "Sherman" tanks were built better,and more durible,than the US.
They used to say the Sherman, once hit, like a Ronson, "It lights up the first time, every time." Using gasoline, instead of diesel, like most tanks of the time, didn't help...Hey GST not sure what you mean here, the Sherman was American but was nicknamed 'the Ronson' because the fuel tanks when hit put a flame out of the turret hatch like a lighter.
