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

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

Well, that must be the fastest bull in Korea if it can catch the tank and plane

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
