WW2 tanks are so dumb, I don't understand how anyone could be a fan of them. Identify the tank on the left for a cookie.

you misplaced stupid, should be on the girls not the tanks
Hell, I feel actually bad for the tanks they’re driving. They belong in the army or a war musuem, not a barbaric sport like what they’re practicing.
Also, GIGACHAD M1 ABRAMS FOR THE WIN

Can't be that stupid if they're smart enough to enjoy WW2 tanks ;)

If they were smart they wouldn’t be in an anime

. . .

How do you know what Saunders is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Every day, hundreds of tanks are abused by weeaboos
We must end this massive injustice
#StopTankAbuse

*boom*

yes

ok

maybe some of us can just enjoy tanks instead of making everything about anime

and no need to get angry :)

Ok, i’m starting to calm the heck down

yay

you had a dream about me??? XDDDD

dodging the question ;)

Hit a nerve hehe

Also, that’s pretty much the quintessential response to someone who does that to me with literally any anime whatsoever. Or at least what I honestly want to type out in its entirety.

SCP Fan

i quoted full metal jacket for that one

Who said that? Who the [REDACTED] said that? Who's the slimy little communist twinkle-toed [DATA EXPUNGED] down here, who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh?! The fairy [REDACTED] godmother said it! Out-[REDACTED]-standing! I will P.T. you all until you [REDACTED]ing die! I'll P.T. you until your [DATA EXPUNGED] are sucking buttermilk.

ngl I had a dream last night of you spamming this stream and the A_S_S too
I guess my subconscious still hasn’t chilled out yet

Who's "they" ?

I think I'm like the only active user on this website that actually appreciates Girls und Panzer (that I know of)

I’m talking about other websites that I frequent.
Also, “appreciate” seems to be euphemism for “simp for”

I honestly doubt it

To be fair, your shows’ fans don’t spam it a much as, say, furries or bronies (fun fact: I was an Anti-Brony before I was anti-anime) spam their fandom, but you get the point.
Also, calling me the very thing I hate most is an easy way to make me MAD.
(SurlyKong did it almost a year ago, and I’m not even sure if he was serious that time, but I still distrust him.)

Plus, they keep referencing the go***mn thing everywhere

In summary:

Also, if your kinky-ass show is so good that it would get a major anti-weeb to watch it, why do people hate it so much?
Furthermore, why do people react so negatively to people referencing it everywhere?
I know what that was because I looked it up because people reference it all the time and because it kept getting shoved down everybody’s throats on tank, history (which really SUCKS for me because I love history), or military related regions of the internet.

Alright, time to do my somewhat well known shenanigans again,

So, to the left we have the crews of GuP, from the Soviet, German, US, and British team respectively, today they'll be facing off one of the most sophisticated tanks out there, the M1A2 SEP V2, it's a V2 due to it's CROWS RWS (Remote Weapons Station, remote controlled machine gun basically) on the roof there, each team can bring any tank they'd like from their wide range of tank arsenal, be it the IS-2 for the Soviet team or the Tiger H1 of the German team (the cupola gives it away), now I'll compare their raw performance first, so on the GuP team, their most obvious advantage was their tank's speed and agility, which is akin more to sports cars rather than tanks, this can be useful in navigating terrains and tactical movements such as moving out of cover to fire and then reversing to a safe position, their ammunition also had more post-penetration damage as they had explosive filler inside of them instead of just pure kinetic energy, however that's pretty much where their advantages end, as on the Abrams side, the gun is sorta smaller at 120mm, this calibre is surpassed by some of GuP tanks such as IS-2, KV-2, Jagdtiger, etc, however since the Abrams also had a digital Fire Control System (FCS) and APFSDS rounds to boot, the 120mm gun outperforms even the best tank gun the GuP team has, in terms of accuracy with it's 2km effective firing range and penetration as the M829 can penetrate a Maus from the front at the 2km engagement range, it's protection was even greater as well, with composite armor and depleted uranium inserts on the front side of the tank, giving it an estimated 800mm+ thickness on the turret front, effective against even modern APFSDS let alone APCBC or APCR, and that's pretty much the advantages the Abrams had.

However raw performance alone does not matter on the actual battlefield, so now I'll be moving on to hypothetical battlefield performance, now the Abrams team most probably would conduct a long range engagement against the GuP tanks, as at such a long range there's practically very little chance for the GuP tanks to score a direct hit on the Abrams, they would also probably take advantage of the terrain to hide their hull while only showing the turret of the tank, and in case the GuP tanks attempted to camouflage themselves or use some rather unconventional ways of hiding their tank, like that duck camouflage thing they did, the Abrams can use it's thermal imager to detect the heat of the tanks and direct it's gun at them, but of course, the GuP teams won't just blindly charge into battle, so they'll obviously plan first, now the Abrams, while powerful, is not invincible, and the reason they preferred long range engagements were because at closer ranges, the Abrams were more vulnerable, as it's side armor on the hull were thin enough to be penetrated by even the 75mm M3 of the Sherman from as far as 150m, thus their most likely plan is to get as close to the Abrams as possible without with the least amount of tanks destroyed, thus they can overwhelm the tank, probably using unconventional tactics like blocking the turret with an I-Go or something, and then eliminate them, or perhaps they can have Jagdtigers or IS-2s or any tank with good penetration sit at an ambush point, turn off their engines to eliminate any heat signature, and then lure the Abrams with less capable tanks to the kill zone and then fire away at the sides of the hull, this should at least disable the Abrams, so in short, while the Abrams had almost a one sided advantage against GuP, the GuP teams can still prevail, they still had some advantages after all and their ingenuity is quite well, as for the Abrams, as long they're not reckless and does not underestimate the GuP teams, they should be able to win quite easily.

Dang you know a lot more than me XD
Where'd you find that bit about the Abrams tank's side armor?

Well I knew from online articles and videos basically, it's also a common thing for modern MBTs to have relatively thin side armor for saving weight, as for the bit about the 75mm M3 penetrating the side armor of the Abrams, I knew that from War Thunder lol, in the protection analysis on the M1A2 Abrams, which is closest to the SEP V2 in the game, the side armor is only about 60mm thick, plus the thin composite sideskirt it would total up to 85-87mm thick against the M61 APCBC ammunition that is used by the M3 cannon, this ammunition can penetrate 101mm from 10m away, and just now I've tested it again but this time from 500m and it still penetrates the side armor, also even though the variant in the game is the basic M1A2, a video about problems with the Abrams tanks stated that the hull of the SEP variants were only slightly improved on the UFP (upper front plate), if that was indeed a fact then the SEP V2 essentially had the same side armor thickness as the basic M1A2, thus penetrable by the 75mm M3 from as far out as 500m, though do note that the SEP V2 side armor values is obviously still classified and since this is just educated guessing it might be or is different, so do take this with a pinch of salt.

Actually, I've just found a goldmine of sources regarding the premise of WW2 tanks vs the Abrams, here you go : https://www.google.com/search?q=abrams+vs+ww2+tanks+site:www.quora.com

Ooo, I'll take a look at that

ok, I was wondering cause everything I've seen says it's classified

damn I did not expect such a detailed strategic analysis
you my good sir are a legend

Actually, WW2 tanks are some of the most facinating tanks out there, its the girls who are stupid.

True

they are THE most fascinating tanks out there

i need to save the tank

where's my mk14 ebr

save it from what???

from the deranged schoolgirls who are abusing it

wrong sir

Its the girls that are stupid, not the tanks.
