Sherman207 viewsWhen the Sherman tank arrived in North Africa in 1942, it was clearly superior to both the Panzer III German main battle tank and the short barreled version of the Panzer IV. Against the 75mm KwK 40 L/43 long barreled Panzer IV the match was about even. For this reason, the US Army believed the Sherman would be completely adequate to win the war, and no pressure was exerted for further tank development

WW1 British tanks207 viewsThe Mark V was first used in the Battle of Hamel on 4 July 1918 when 60 tanks contributed to a successful assault on the German lines by Australian units. It took part in eight further major engagements during the War.

FT 17207 viewsThe Renault FT's configuration – crew compartment at the front, engine compartment at the back, and main armament in a revolving turret – became and remains the standard tank layout. Armour historian Steven Zaloga has called the Renault FT "the world's first modern tank"

Kettenrad207 viewsSteering the Kettenkrad was accomplished by turning the handlebars: Up to a certain point only the front wheel would steer the vehicle. A motion of the handlebars beyond that point would engage the track brakes to help make turns sharper. It was also possible to run the vehicle without the front wheel installed and this was recommended in extreme off-road conditions where speed would be kept low
