Greatest Mothers Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 There's an error: 44.8 tons is the weight of the Ausf G, but the one in the picture is the Ausf A or D (see the gun mantle - it's not the one of the Ausf G).

Keysariyt Hanssen Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) It's a G. Edited October 31, 2014 by Kaiser Hanssen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Mothers Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Nain! The photo on Wikipedia is wrong! The G is characterized by a gun mantle that is flat and NOT rounded in the bottom part! The new design was meant to avoid the deflection of enemy projectile towards the bottom (because in that zone the armor was very thin) - in other words, the new design eliminated the "shoot-trap" of the first two versions, and maked the Ausf G quite different - this is an Ausf G My woman sometimes is jealous of tanks and airplanes of WW2: she says there's something erotic in the way I look these objects when I'm in a museum. I admit I have a passion for ALL things regarding WW2, but she's clearly exaggerated... :-) Spider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latexi Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The new gun mantle was introduced 6 months after the G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatest Mothers Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Three months later, according the Encyclopedia of German Tanks of WW2 by Chamberlain and Doyle - I just checked it. Maybe your source make a mistake with another important modification: the removing of Zimmerit, indeed from September 1944. Spider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysariyt Hanssen Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 The chinned gun mantlet was used alongside the original rounded gun mantlet long after it was introduced. The G began production in March 1944; the chinned mantlet was not introduced until September - Courtesy of Thomas Jentz's series on German tanks.

Greatest Mothers Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I checked: probably you're right. My Enciclopedia of German Tanks of WW2 by Chamberlain, Doyle AND Thomas Jentz said June 1944 for the introduction of the new mantlet. But mine is a first edition, and I'm aware there's around a revised edition with some errors corrected. You quote "Panzer Tracts" that is even more new, so probably your source is more reliable.

Lysergide Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 On the freeing Bob from Communism bit, I think you need to step up your game a little bit. I still see quite a few filthy red's running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homura Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Your pictures are somewhat amusing. I have to say I'm impressed. I've never been in Nordreich before. Maybe I should consider it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keysariyt Hanssen Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) There is no reason not to try. Recruitment is currently on hiatus because of the ongoing war, but the doors are still ajar.
