      Simple History I love your channel. Can you start an American Civil War Series? If you can't that is ok. Will you do the armies of Germany's allies in World War 2 like Romania, Croatia, Hungary etc?

      The Tiger I was outdated at it's introduction date. Your claim that the allies had nothing to defeat it before the introduction of the Firefly, is false. They had the M-10 Wolverine which nullified the Tiger in Tunisia.

      Ryan Krekeler Elefant is an upgraded Ferdinand heavy tank destroyer (which was based on Porche's failed tiger). Afaik after the battle of kursk the surviving Ferdinands were upgraded. They received a commander's cupola for better vision and a hull mounted machine gun for anti infantry, along with other minor tweakings.

      I think it mostly came down to Germany's needs since they started off with lighter vehicles which were easy to produce and relatively quick (this was favourable for their blitzkrieg strategy in the beginning) however later in the war when resources were scarce and the ally vehicles continued to improve every german vehicle had to count (aka had to destroy multiple enemy units per vehicle) they opted to build heavier designs in an attempt to create vehicles which would give much better value for the resources put in to build it. This of course didn't really work since there wasn't enough of them to begin with and they would have been a relatively easy target for artillery and aircraft due to their poor mobility.

      Well the MG42 could only change out the barrel from the side and needed quite a bit of air cooling. Neither would be suitable to be poking out of an armoured plate. The MG34 got the task of hull or turret machine guns. Although MG42's were sometimes mounted externally where the mentioned issues were less of a problem.

      Precisely that, it was a masterpiece, unneded and expensive masterpiece ... 55 t od dead weight, armor whic could not stop any frontal shots from 76mm guns. Atleast it was better that the even useless panther tank. Which was far taller, although it was medium tank. Germans should just built 20t hetzers and waffentragers which could be produced in vast numbers

      @@mikeliko01 This isn't true. The British 17 pounder could penetrate frontally at most ranges, but none of the Soviet 76mm guns (excepting the ZiS 3) could penetrate the front of a Tiger even at close range.
      More vehicles would not have helped Germany since they suffered from fuel shortages for most of the war. 20 hetzers are not as useful as 1 Tiger when most of them can't move due to lack of fuel.
      The Panther was a very capable tank, even better than the Tiger in terms of protection and penetration. The problem was maintenance and a lack of experienced crews.
      If they had solved their fuel shortages and gone through with the Entwicklung-series, they could have done a lot better. Better parts sharing, faster production, easier maintenance.

    Lobby, internal struggle and corruption of unimaginable levels were prevalent in german circles through the whole war. It's also the reason the myth about Henschel Tiger being better then Porsche one despite having overcomplicated suspension, unreliable engine and being more costly exists at the same time as Porsche was suggesting alternate transmission to his own electric one(which was still CHEAPER in the end then how much Henschel was taking), four variants of engine, variable armaments, no problem with width and thus no need to have 2 pair of tracks for every vehicle. But Speer and vapruf 6 hated the guy so even already produced vehicles were switched into Ferdinands/Elephants just in case they'll dare to present themselves better then overpriced Henschel's turd.
