Gee, german engineering sure is effective

That's a tank taken out by battleship guns.

The Panthers stupid interleaved wheels and Tiger II's completely fucked design with an underpowered and overworked engine were major programs, they weren't "crazy plans" they put these into mass production
Not really considering Germany squandered all the advantages it initially had with poorly thought out ideas like the Battle of Britain

>meanwhile the allies had zero breakdowns
its not like mechanical problems were an issue for both sides or anything

rubbish!

tiger 2 wins every time in my video game

>Nazi engineers never achieved a-

Not anymore

Not my experience in War Thunder when i play Soviet 7.0. Axis teams are literal shit, which is weird, since they used to be good, or at least not as stupid as they are now

dude what game is that?

...

>mfw using the F-82 against Nazis
Yeah, head me on, I fucking dare you, faggots.

Steel Division Normandy, almost every Panzer Lehr player is a fucking idiot who will not support his tanks

too much company of heroes I guess, thanks

>meanwhile, in France

>Meanwhile in Britain

>proposed
we do have actual things that were built that can be mocked you know

Yeah but it's not as silly or interesting as the pycrete story is it?

...

Reminder that the "hyper efficient advanced technology axis" boogieman was invented by the allies so that they could still claim to be heroes after their entire war contribution was spending half a day in Berlin shooting at malnourished 13 year old volkssturm "ubersoldadt"

Unironically this.
What is the better way to explain failure?
>Well lads, the thing is that our staff is incompetent, and our soldiers are a joke
or
>We lost only because enemy general is so good. He is cunning like the fox.

Looks like a submersible battleship, neat.

>Only achieved anything when taken away from Germany.

it took 3 years of being totally abandoned for the prototype pykerete aircraft to finally sink, it would have worked fine as a temporary base, it just seems silly

That's not Surcouf, user.

if they barely achieved anything then why were the americans and soviets so keen on capturing them?

>tfw it took usa, uk, and ussr to put down couple german autists let by an austrian meth head

What makes kraut infestations so hard to remove?

difference being that the Allies could afford to experiment. Germany lacked the resources and geographical safety that the Western Allies did

Imagine being Heinz Guderian. You just conquered Europe for some Austrian corporal and you get fucking sacked for failing to take Moscow in the dead of winter and you spend the next two years watching it all fucking fall apart; but then an opportunity to moil the Panzer doctrine comes up and you take it thinking you're going to make a difference. Converting captured Czech tanks and upgunning them, economizing the armour with Stugs and upgunned Panzer iii's and IV until the Panzerkampfwagen V is mechanically reliable (and only slightly more expensive than the ten year old IV), so that you can devote the next phase of Wehrmacht armour development to following the American doctrine of a cheap all purpose tank ready. But then you find yourself being bogged own by a dozen cut throat industrial corporations vying for resources a boss who commissioned a fucking U-boat Captain to design a super tank and while you could talk him out of that, you can't talk him out of a next generation Tiger tank. Meanwhile the Panther isn't ready but the boss is throwing the Panther into a full frontal offensive rather then heeding fucking Erich von Manstein's advice on stranding still for 1943 to blunt the overconfident soviets (which he did at Kharkov killing 50 Divisions in one battle) on the still relatively unscarred Wehrmacht (Press f for the 6th Army) instead of drawing all available resources into a final battle scenario; and now you're listening to the reports at Kursk in horror and listening to your boss rant and rave about a tank that isn't working and call a feldmarschall who single handedly brought France to it's knees in 8 weeks an incompetent and is about to lose a career over a battle the feldmarschall never wanted to fight in the first place and now here you are sitting far from the lines unable to do much more than serve as figurehead to Hitler's whimsies and approve projects like the Tiger II, Jagdpanzer, Jagdtiger and a tank that cross bridges because it's too big.

Germany in WW1 took half the world to take on and it was more powerful relative to the other great powers then it was starting WW2. It was led by an inbred autist who screamed about his boats and a bunch of aristocrats who dreamed about carving up Russia.

The difference is that the Allies didn't NEED experiments because they weren't losing the war.

Are you the kind of retard who believes that Germany could have won the war if they just fought conventionally?

They couldn't, so why the hell would they not invest in experimental weaponry to get a tactical edge?

tfw Hitler didn't start launching sarin gas or or the rest of the chemical weapons stockpiles which was projected to be 25 years ahead Allied R&D of poison gas at the Anglos in the closing months of the war.

If he didn't give a fuck about the German people then, might as well issue the command.

>If he didn't give a fuck about the German people then, might as well issue the command.
It should be considered that most of the "Hitler didn't give a fuck about the German people" claims were made by Albert Speer, who based it on private discussions he had with Hitler why nobody else was present.

Clearly trustworthy claims by a man who did not just try to save his skin and pin all the blame on his dead boss so he wouldn't get hanged for being personally involved in using forced labourers from concentration camps to meet his quotas.
