Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv Discussions about the most effective tanks in World War 2 often revolve around the armor, gun and usually completely off kill:death ratios. I want to create a framework that allows to determine the overall effectiveness of a tank. Furthermore, the results can be used and compared to the overall strategy, challenges and doctrines of the various factions. Thus, allowing to determine if a tank design was suited for limits and capabilities of that faction. The areas and factors: *Logistical **Reliability **Supply & Fuel Consumption / Efficiency **Maintainability **Strategic Mobility *Technical **Armor/Protection **Tactical Mobility **Lethality / Armament / Firepower / Offensive value **Usability *Industrial **Production Time /Production Cost **Complexity & Suitability for Mass Production **Resource “Drain” Please let me know, what you think of this framework, use the comment section or the associated threads where this video was posted. If you post this video somewhere, please send me a link so that I can follow the discussion there. *Sources, Inspiration & References* https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/regarding-the-t-34.902806/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/comments/434l4l/tank_crosscountry_capability_sherman_vs_panther/ http://cloudworth.com/WW2-articles/WWII-tank-production.html http://tankarchives.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/ergonomics.html http://chris-intel-corner.blogspot.gr/2012/07/wwii-myths-t-34-best-tank-of-war.html #Tanks #Panzer #Effective
