Thankfully all our inferior Yankee(oh, and Russkie) weapons were very effective at blasting all that WWII era Porsche junk to so many bits.
Destroyed Porsche "Maus", one of only two known made examples. |
Just for accuracy's sake, the maus was a prototype that never saw action, the "ferdinand" was limited number production like 50 that debuted at Kursk and was a disaster. The King tiger with the porsche turret had a trap shot at the base of the front that did not do wonders for the driver.
The panther, tiger, and king tiger were on the other hand phenomenal tanks and their only weakness was low production. I have been in and on those and others at the bovington tank museum at the british army proving grounds. Just like our panzer (928) those tanks are just awesome sights. The panther being a slight favorite.
