![]() That being said, yeah given terrain, cover, training, a veteran 1942 Panzer division in Urban warfare supported by dragoons would be a challenging opponent for M1A2 Armored Cavalry - the fighting would be close range, and would reduce the relative advantages of modern speed, armor, and range. How many Gyroscopes are installed in a Tiger, Sherman, or T-35. Most WWII tanks lacked the suspension, stability, and mechanized fire control that allows an M1 to fire accurately at range while cruising at speed over rough terrain. Modern tanks are lighter (60 tons M1 vs 75 ton Tiger),īetter accuracy at range, look up muzzle velocities.īetter guns - shaped charge fin stabilized 120mm beat conventional 105mm.īiggest difference - Most Modern tanks are mostly built to fire on the move. WWII thinner armor, less metallurgy, no composite armor. Modern reactive armor - gives modern an edge. Here are the main engineering differences. under certain distance or from certain direction? I remember hearing "A RPG-7 could knock out a M1A2 tank if hit the right spot".and RPG-7 isn't even all that powerful.ĭo you think these guns might still effective in knocking out modern tanks like Challenger, Leopard 2, M1A2, etc. There is also 128mm on JagdTiger (a tank destroyer). But some WWII tanks are also known for be able to kill enemy tanks at 2~3km range, such as the famous 88mm on Tiger 1. Obviously modern day tanks' 120mm and 125mm gun combined with modern optical, modern firing control system will most likely one shot WWII tanks at 2~3km range. But often time the allied tanks came with overwhelming numbers, which enable them to get close enough for a kill shot either from the side, or the rear, or sometimes even a frontal shot at close enough range can still penetrate what they normally couldn't. Back in WWII, Tiger and Tiger II tank, and Panther from the front are largely immune to the gunfire of allied tanks such as Sherman and T-34 at normal engagement range. Obviously modern tanks have much better armor and overall protection than WWII tanks, but I very much doubt it is 100% immune to everything a WWII tank throw at them. ![]() ![]() If WWII tanks are able to destroy a modern tank. ![]()
