      @@hugopepe1722 what? german vehicle during WWII were biggest shit on earth. Truste me. there were no two vehicles that had the same spare parts. Each company was pushing its project, there was no unification, including that is why the Germans lost the war because the damaged equipment could not be repaired, because there were no spare parts for this model. Even caterpillars had more than a dozen designs. That's why Germany so often abandoned its vehicle hehe even the Russians were not willing to use German equipment. More problems than benefits. In addition, these gasoline engines ... too little power, and the mass of the vehicle kept growing. Besides, Hitler too relied on idiots like Ferdinand Porsche, who first built his Tiger, unfortunately terrible shit that was rebuilt on Ferdinand, which was also a terrible shit. How many Ferdinand Germans lost on the first day at Kursk? How much did they lose because they broke? That idiot Porsche did not even foresee that the vehicle had to defend itself against infantry, so it had no defensive weaponry. I can criticize German vehicles endlessly. Germans fell victim to their megalomania, which resulted in sick vehicles. Look at the Russians, they had two tracked chassis, T-34 and KV then IS. They built everything based on these proven two chassis. Similarly, the Americans, they had Sherman, and they built everything on his chassis.

      @@xot80 You're almost correct in your assumptions regarding German engineering - strange design though accurate, fanatic assembly. But I'd like to remind you, that USSR had more than 2 mass tracked platforms -
      0. Vickers - T26. (Honorable mention)
      1. Christie - BТ-2\5\7, T-34 - major platform, yes.
      2. KV/IS - major influence on certain battlefields
      3. Light T40\60\70 - huge influence on early war
      4. "126" - T50 - somewhat little influence on war, but helped KV project
      5. Also multiple tractor-derived platforms, for half-tracks, artillery carriers, tractors, etc, hard to name them all.

      The M3 and M5 were superior designs though since they were just as capable, but were WAY easier to produce since they were made out of easily replaceable panels bolted to a universal chassis design that shared a ton of parts, to the point that the front half is pretty much identical to the M3 scout car too! In my opinon they also look way cooler, with those adjustable louvres on the front and the option to have actual visibility out the front with the windscreen, and then the crazy variants like the M15 and M16.
      There's a reason Israel used them until the late 1980's and loved them, but the 251 in Czech postwar service was known as "Hitler's revenge" as it was that bad, and they had to sidestep the Soviet monopoly on wheeled armoured vehicles to produce the SKOT to get rid of them!
