Learned many things, like that the armor on a JagdPanzer 38(t) is WWI tech and about half as effective as WWII era face-hardened homogeneous steel.

Thanks for posting this Mr Lert :thumbup:

Well, I would never have guessed the late Tiger 1 still had rubber tyres but with a steel rim around the rubber, that was very interesting to me 8)
