Sir Smokes Alot 0 Posted February 16, 2002 Ok I was thinking  Russian quanity vs U.S qualty what is better. Then I remember WW2 and German qualty vs U.S  quanity. Ok at time WW2 the German army had best rifles,SMGs,machineguns and tanks.  It took 3 to 4 hit from M4 Sherman to take out Panzer VI Tiger tank only one from Panzer VI Tiger take out M4 Sherman ! U.S could make way more M4 Sherman's then Germans could make Panzer VI Tiger's! Allie quanity beat the German qualty. So I beleve quanity beats qualty.

Like: 1) Air superiority <<---- really bad for a tank when you don't have it 2) They where kinda fighthing Russia at the same time, and the fighting on the Eastern front was hella brutal. And Russia had at what is estimated at the time the best performing tank (can anyone say T-34 ) 3) Don't underestimate the the European allies, Britian made some sweet Sherman upgrades. And In my opinion the best piston engine aircraft ever produced (Spitfire). And of even more importance the Merlin engine which went in them, and the P-51s. Sure the U.S. manufactured alot of them, but they where british designed. 4) The list goes on and on. And oh BTW Nazi Germany quality turned into crap as their manufactoring base was destroyed (Air superiority) and they had to result to manufactoring inferior steel and equipment. Also a tank is a bit useless if you don't have fuel to run it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
