A hundred years ago a superpower, a madman eighty years ago came from there also. Just saying it has changed for the better.

Michael Wittman Normandy campaign died 8 August 1944. He survived for two months of the Normandy campaign. Elite crew in a superior tank. I feel sorry for the boys in the Donbas training will be an ongoing business and they need tanks in which the crew has a decent chance to survive.

He quotes 6 weeks for training the crew. Then spare parts and training maintenance personnel we look at three months. The time Ukraine needs to have a victory.

In the game i knocked out a T72 with the Stryker 105mm but it was sub 1km. Even Leo1 in semi urban areas would be good. If you watch the video the 105mm is found wanting in modern armor warfare. It is still a useful vehicle.

Appeasement politics? I look at it very cynically, Ukraine is made an example of as the Russian federation may collapse like a deck of cards. If some of the other ethnic groups get the same idea. I always look at Austria Hungary empire, at least the average Austrian is better off than they were hundred years ago. It may be a good thing for the average citizen.

Even with the Leopard1 we look at three months before we see the first tank in action. Six weeks for training and training the maintenance personnel. I am afraid it was a way out for the German politicians. Their green politics made them dependent on Russia.

Did they change the constitution then?

Do you own Final Blitzkrieg? The Germans tried it twice the first time was most successful. Not to try the most obvious route makes sense.

It was designed to be superior to the T55 and on par with the T62

The day after the signature of NATO’s membership protocol with North Macedonia as its 30th member, Ukraine did something without precedent: it included in its Constitution the engagement to enter officially into NATO and the European Union at the same time. This is quoted from numerous sources by a quick search on the Internent.

He succeeded in intimidating NATO. Aspiring for membership has the potential of seeing your country destroyed. Like Ukraine fighting for NATO till the last Ukrainian. For NATO time to call Putin's bluff, invade Belorussia would be a good start.

T64 has more punch and the Leo has inferior armour. The Leo will be suitable for defensive warfare. You look at two months before they become available.

Germany's offer more political than anything else. We look at it for two months before we see this outdated but still useful tank in action.

One hundred and twenty years behind the times when international relations were settled by the right of conquest. Queen Victoria died in 1901 she too believed in the right of conquest.

Some people just keep on dreaming, remembering the Sagger sure it made the Patton and Centurion obsolete the present generation was developed. M4 Sherman was called a tank the Abrams is a completely different vehicle but still called a tank. Something called a tank will get the better of the present Wunderwaffen ATGMs, however some geniuses will think of something to counter it.

Modern day recon and espionage.

Once they fire, they are toast. The Russians should not have any tanks left if the 90% kill probability is true. That is only for the Javelins not counting the NLAWs In WW2 it was the 88 mm killing tanks. Now AT Guns are obsolete not the tank The Russians used their tanks poorly. The question is what are you going to use in your formations instead of the tank. I hope I am wrong but soon the battlefield will be contaminated with nuclear fallout. Armour with positive pressure inside will be the only means to advance across it. US facing shortage of Javelin anti-tank missiles post supplies to Ukraine: Report (republicworld.com)

All controlled from outer space we play Combat Mission. With real maps our units operate anywhere in the world with our true-to-life equipment and humanoid robotics.

When you give orders which are not possible in real life you end up in a situation which is not possible in real life. I have closed up Shermans spotting enemy units before a sniper does. Is it because I make the sniper conveniently look in the right direction and don't bothered about the Sherman?

You should consider FOW infantry are concealed a lot longer. WW2 Soviets were masters of infiltration. Their grandsons in the Ukraine on the Ukraine side show their pedigree.

All Engine 4

Best tractors in the world. Here it distinguishes itself in a Bottom of the Harbor Campaign.

It is not a US tractor. I can tell no .50 Browning on the roof.

NATO two options Don't be there or don't be detected. Ukrainians better follow Sgt Schulz "I've seen nutting."

It becomes clear why exporting armor to the Ukraine is easier said than done.
