    Can we stop saying every anti tank gun was an 88mm. The pak40 long barreled 75mm was as effective, way easier to use and freed up 88mm production to focus on their antiaircraft role because they were being hammered by the continuous bombing.

      Maybe they did encountered a 88 mm.

      Why can't they simply say "German high velocity gun"?
      "88" had become the generic term for German HV anti-tank guns with Allied troops, who may have believed they were all 88's. All of the longer barreled high velocity German guns did the same thing to opposing tanks regardless of the specific caliber.

      I guess the 37mm was phased out at this point, but yeah, the 75 and many captured 76mm zis' far outnumber 88s

    The Pershing "must outflank the Panther" to defeat it?
    Not really. It could penetrate it from long range frontally. But it's tank warfare 101 by 1945 to outflank whenever possible to gain advantage and decrease chances the shot will bounce.
    Weird how they describe the effective thickness of the Panther frontal armor due to slope, but fail to mention the Pershing's armor slope at all.
    And they keep referring to the Panther as a medium tank when it was actually a heavy.
    They like to keep that German "super panzer" mojo going. Lol.
    And oh yeah, the WW II gyrostabilizer was not well liked by American tank crews (who usually turned it off), and was eliminated on Pershing to make room and save weight. The Pershing scored a hit because the gunner was a good shot.

      Not a lot of crews were trained properly to use the stabilizer. Those that were found it to be pretty good.

      ​@@brennanleadbetter9708Undoubtedly. Most apparently did not know how to use it, by accounts, hence the general disdain. So it was deleted on Pershing to help make room for the extra ammo storage the Army insisted on.
      Given the limits of the technology at the time, no one apparently missed it.

    A wonderful historical coverage documentary about allies offensive operations to invade Germany during WW2... where quantitative superiority of US Sharman tanks and Pershing hell fires over runners of good qualitative of tiger tanks and long range & accuracy of 88 flank guns of Germany....at the end US Super Pershing tank finished the job ...besides Germans fought stubbornly and furiously...on theirs fatherland sovereignty

    Where are the planes? Tanks finds the 88's and planes take them out.
