emccabe Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I had assumed it was either extra armor or possible spare tracks but I just wanted to be sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It could've been worse, Joe. He didn't ask what was hanging off the spare tracks. Welcome to the Forum, Jerome. You are among friends here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Panther turret sides were notoriously thin, comparatively. I guess the Germans figured if they've got to hang spare track links somewhere it might as well be there. The armor enhancement was marginal but sometimes marginal was enough to make a difference. Especially since the Russian were still throwing 45mm at them throughout the war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
