Antwort Why were German tanks so effective? Weitere Antworten – What made German tanks so good
The short 75 mm (2.95 in) L/24 gun was the main advantage of the Panzer IV; the weight and armor of early models were close to that of the Panzer III. With an upgrade of the Panzer IV's 75 mm L/24 short gun to a longer high-velocity 75 mm gun, suitable for anti-tank use, the tank proved to be highly effective.The German Panzer-kampf-wagen V (Panther) tank was superior to the American M4 Sherman in almost every respect, but it could not guarantee victory at every encounter. The Germans knew that their Panther, with its balanced design of firepower, mobility, and crew protection, was their best armored vehicle.The early tanks of Germany were inferior to many of their opponents' tanks in the areas of armor and firepower. However, in their tactical employment the German tanks dominated all rivals early in the war. Germany concentrated the tanks and the few infantry transport vehicles it had into Panzer divisions.
Who had better tanks in WWII : The Soviet Union showed it could be done. The T-34, produced in 1940, was arguably the best tank of the war. From the very start, the T-34 achieved that crucial balance between armour, firepower and mobility that eluded British tank designers for so long.
Why did Germans have better tanks than us
The German 88 is more powerful than any American tank gun used during the course of most of the war. The German tank is much heavier and therefore its armor is much thicker than that of any American tank. The tracks of the former are much wider, with perhaps a less vulnerable suspension system than that of the latter.
Did France have better tanks than Germany : In armour and firepower, French tanks were generally not inferior to their German counterparts.
Did German Panzer crews fear facing American Sherman tanks on the battlefield during World War II Yes. The panzer crew knew it was always outnumbered. If they saw 1 Sherman they always were afraid of the other 4.
Even with the rapid upgrade of the 75 mm gun to the high-velocity 76 mm gun, the original Sherman was only capable of defeating the Tiger at close range or from the flank. In the first couple of years of action, mechanical failures proved deadlier to Tigers than combat action.

Its gun was too weak. Its armor was too thin. Its squat shape didn't have that menacing look of the German panzers.The most overrated German WWII tank That would be the Tiger I.

Who has the best tanks in Europe : Germany and South Korean-equipped Poland clearly have the best modern tanks in Europe although these are newly being manufactured and deployed, not yet in high numbers.
What was Germany’s most successful tank : The Jagdpanther is probably the most impressive German tank destroyer design of the Second World War because it has that great combination of firepower with the PAK 43 88 millimetre gun and the proven Panther tank chassis which is reliable and also very well defended.
What is Hitler’s biggest fear
Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was scared of visiting the dentist, it has emerged. The man who ordered deaths of millions in the extermination camps once insisted his dentist draw out simple root-canal work over eight days because he "couldn't stand the pain".
Probably the only real weakness is the high profile, but this made it very good in other ways. It also wasn't that much taller than contemporary medium tanks, like the T-34 and Panzer IV.Through books with titles such as Death Traps, the Sherman acquired an image as a flawed tank. Some criticisms were justified. For example, early Shermans tended to catch on fire because of poorly designed ammunition stowage (which was eventually corrected by adding armored “wet stowage” ammo racks).
Did the French have better tanks than the Germans : In armour and firepower, French tanks were generally not inferior to their German counterparts. In one incident, a single Char B1 "Eure" was able to destroy thirteen German tanks within a few minutes in Stonne on 16 May 1940, all of them Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks.
