Tomo, thanks, i did indeed oversimplify my timeline. the Tiger I was a typical German response, i.e. if they're punching holes in 25mm increase to 50mm, if 50mm doesn't work increase to 100mm but modify nothing else so the slab-sided I resist by sheer brute force growing heavier and heavier. Come the Russians and the lightbulb goes on: let's slant the armour. the Panthers certainly had their teething problems but how much more quickly could those have been solved except for the drain caused by the Supertank approach.
Dave, what is a tank? were the jagd panzers, sturmgeschutz, Marders tanks? The Pkz I was at least a dedicated tracked vehicle, an engineering stepping stone to the next development as the Wright flyer was to the WWI planes was to the WWII planes
