Usual American strategy in Western Europe against Tigers involved multiple Shermans ganging up on one, sometimes with one Sherman acting as bait while others flanked its position and hit it from the side and behind repeatedly. And Saunders has ten Shermans. - Tak

Given the fact that the Firefly made it in, I think that late game Tiger Ausf.B can make it in...
@Znail: A Sherman M4 can go toe to toe against a Panzer IV and it's reliable. The very fact that not every Joe smoe gets to use a Panther makes it also particularly bad when an M4 crew sees one, never mind Tiger, for chances are that the Panther and Tiger crew knew what they're doing.

Tanks known to have participated in combat during the war aren't too exciting to be honest. What I want to know is what sort of prototype tanks and blueprint designs are allowed under the stated rules. Just one hint, and the possibilities are endless!

That's the thing... I mean, this was discussed before. Technically speaking, E-100, E-50 and E-75, as well as HEAT rounds, night vision devices, Schmalturm, were all in planning, either on blueprint or being tested by the August deadline. The British can perhaps go as far as to field the Centurion or FV 201 Caenarvon with the 17-pounder should that be the case...

Panther crews were actually a major issue during the war. Germany were running out of gas so had trouble training the crews for the new tanks so they ended up being a lot less well trained and lost many tanks due to that. Tigers on the other hand were introduced earlier and prioritised with elite crews and training. Germany should really have switched over some experienced PzIV crews to Panthers for maximum use of those better machines, but of course that would have taken some retraining. |

There was a problem of not having enough 76mm Shermans, but that's a different issue.

It didn't help that the Germans also had that do everything 88mm gun that was a combo flak/antitank gun.
For being a clip show, 5.5 is surprisingly entertaining, and I rather enjoyed it.

Wait... Momo's in charge of PR for the student council? Why is she given all the jobs she has NO skill at whatsoever? She's a gunner who can't shoot, she was the strategist who ruined her own plans by being unable to keep her head in the field, and she's in charge of public relations while being about as relatable and empathetic as a block of ice.
