A thread that doesn't get derailed atleast once lacks the essence.
One of the reasons Germans could hold so long was superior training.
Fallschirmjägers were certainly the best trained soldiers in the war, and a good crew could make a tank 10 times it's worth.
Compare it to (old times
) a tiger controlled by a noob compared to a vet 3 tiger ace in the hands of a skilled player.
They would be able to compete 2 on 1 and the veteran would still prevail.
Russians had farmboys for their infantry and the tankers weren't much better.
Still, their tanks were good.
The T30 was more costeffective than a sherman, and the better tanks outclassed the german tanks atleast in motorquality and sometimes even guns.
