Frankie any chance you would turn this into a build? You have quite the knack for Sherman's and this is actually a very nice looking tank even with just being fitted upImage
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Interesting little video, but even my wild imagination couldn't quite suspend enough disbelief for that one. A P-51 has a stall speed of 95 miles per hour so if the P51 was able to lift off the ground and then the t34 smack the rudder with that Barrel the t-34 would have had to have been moving at close to a hundred miles per hour. I know they were fairly fast for their day but that's pushing it a bit.

This is Hollywood ( or some other low budget movie maker) where anything is possible Image

Quite entertaining though...

Even if it makes no sense lol

A battle between my sherman and the yellow 14 Bf 109 would be like that, maybe....Maybe

You'd have a much tougher opponent than the T-34 did. While the six .50 cals in the Mustang ain't no joke, the Bf109 could be armed with one to three 20mm cannons. That's a significant increase in fire power, and should be able to at least take the tracks off a Sherman.

If the sherman needs help, My M1A1 Abrams is there to assist it. Not really a duel now is it? not a fair one atleast
