When we have these discussions about rent and stuff it always seems a shame to me that we couldn't get some kind of UKMT housing co-op going.

Early-war British tanks were absolutely astonishing crap, late-war British tanks were quite good but flawed (they had paper armour and were ugly as sin, but they had very respectable guns and were blindingly fast), and we made one genuinely brilliant, revolutionary tank (the Centurion) just as the war was wrapping up.

The americans, russians, and germans all actually went with some kind of "generally good tank" idea, the british insistence of holding onto the interwar idea of making fast shooty tanks or slow crawly tanks was a bit of an oddity.

Honestly 'sent thousands of harrassing texts' is probably a step up in reputation for most Tory MPs.

Yeah and they all got somewhere along the line and then we cannonballed into the fray with the Centurion and made them all look like assholes  e; the real question is whether it will ever be possible for someone to build a "Main Battle 'Mech" or are we gonna have to keep running around in everything from Locusts to Atlas-IIs Ms Adequate fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Sep 8, 2019 |

The Americans didn't really get their act together until the end of the war, although then again they didn't really start fighting until the end of the war either so  British tanks were especially bad though

Eh, not exactly. Tanks at the time were divided into light, medium, and heavy machines (although British latewar cruisers were really medium-lights, big tanks with big guns, big engines, and zero armour). There were some fairly good medium tanks out there, like the T-34 and later the Panther, but they didn't have the firepower or survivability of true heavies, and even the lightest, fastest heavies like the Russian IS were still slow, lumbering beasts. That was what true main battle tanks like the Centurion brought to the table - proper heavy tank firepower on something that could actually climb hills and turn corners. It was great at everything, not merely OK at everything like a midwar medium.
