  &quot;We need a tank that&apos;s heavier and lighter, bigger and smaller, taller and shorter, more powerful and more fuel efficient, with a bigger gun and more rounds of ammunition storage. &nbsp;Make sure it&apos;s better engineered and more thoroughly tested, and deliver it to the front lines sooner.&quot;<br>Simple.

  By 1944 every American AFV, whatever its gun or armor thickness, had the one design feature most German TCs could only dream of: &nbsp;A full tank of Gas!

  The perfect tank for 1945 is a fusion of the Maus turret and the Bob semple hull. Gods and titans shudder at the name of such a vehicle: the Shirley semple

  Listening to all this &quot;what do you want?&quot;, &quot;yeah no.&quot; Reminds me of how an E-7 can hold a 6 hour training session on &quot;Proper Time Management&quot;.

  My father served on a DE escorting convoys to Liverpool and I remember he told me that sometimes a ship waited two weeks or more before it could be off loaded because of problems off loading, like lack of man power, &nbsp;docks and cranes. &nbsp;I had two uncles who served in the army, both were transferred from the African campaign to England prior to D-day. &nbsp;Both said there was so much &quot;stuff&quot; stored there that they joked the island was starting to sink! &nbsp;Tanks and trucks were stored in fields everywhere and equipment was stored where ever space could be found. &nbsp;So in addition to their training they were sometimes employed moving stuff around and looking for the stuff they needed. &nbsp;&quot;Guns win battles, logistics win wars&quot;, &nbsp;but only if you can find the stuff you need!

  It just occured to me that metal TD models with a folding can opener would be the ultimate meme Christmas present.

  Nothing better than sitting, drinking a nice whisky, and listening to The Chieftain talk about armor and various reports. This is the pinnacle of informative entertainment.
