How can World War 2 vehicles destroy a Challenger 2?

Hands down, US Fletcher class destroyer. 175 built, the next two US destroyer classes based off of it. It was the destroyer that screened the US carrier battle groups. 5 duel purpose 5" guns, numerous AA guns, 10 21" torpedo tubes (only effective after the US solved its torpedo problem). speed, 38 knots. a true warship. also, one could argue they won the war for the US. It was basically the Navy’s version of the Sherman tank. plus, the last one was decommissioned in 2001, so a life of 57-59 years depending on when it was commissioned.

@Zooey72:

the topic went in a weird direction, to  bring it back I would like to see someone argue the point I made with how Germany could have won the war.

If in either sept 1939, or june 1941 the Sturmgwher were made standard issue to every German soldier how could any army have opposed them?  I think Dunkirk would not have succeeded in 40 and England would have no army, and in 41 Russia would have fallen before winter.  Even if it didn’t fall I am sure Moscow would have fallen, and the following spring offensive would have ended the war in the East.

The difference between this and other ‘miracle weapons’ is that an assault weapon is practical.  Jets and really big tanks take up too many resources even if they had been produced earlier or in greater numbers.  Ammunition would have been a factor, but that would have been it.

Imagine it, an army equipped with assault rifles opposed by armies who are equipped with what is basicaly now a hunting rifle.

Fortunately for the world Hitler didn’t like the concept until it was too late.Â

I found out, that it may have been allready implemented to German Soldiers way earlier, like 1942 as the Mkb-42.
It happend for tests that those Mkb`s 42 were sometimes dropped off for encircled infantry groups in russia to test run it. (weird)
but actually came to positive results of the Mkb-42 aka StGW '44.

Without Canada (and the commonwealth),  England would have lost the war.
Simple as that.

Is the version of All Quiet on the Western Front from 1979 film with Richard Thomas and Ernest Borgnine the version that you guys are talking about?

The best is one called “The Big Battles” B&W circa 1963 ish?

Playing that in the backround while playing is a must

still amazing how the Finns held off such large numbers of soviet troops with those ski battalions of theirs

Frederick Barbarossa was one of the greatest hero’s in German History. He was Hitlers personal hero. He successfully protected the feudal states of Germany from foreign invasions and established the first German Reich. His zealous personality was of vital influence to the crusades against Muslims in the middle ages. Hitler viewed his activities in the Soviet Union as another modern crusade against communism, so he felt the analogy fitted to his operations in Russia.

I have used Mozilla since day one, with Norton running with phishing protection on.

But still some break thru and out of principle i avoid these types of places. That site used to not have so many things running from other people. I think its when they don’t weed out the bogus spammers and eventually they latch on all sorts of crap that try to spy on you.
