Ya Allah! I do not down play the difference between WW1 and 2 tanks. There was nothing like the Panther in WW1! - Not the point!Originally Posted by Fuchs
The Major ROLES IN WHICH THE TANK HAD BEEN PROVEN EFFECTIVE, had NOT CHANGED! Did the role or basic employment of artillery magically altered between WW1 and 2? Did Infantry? That's my point. We need to get beyond the TAMIYA history of tanks!

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

Sir, I respect everything you have said thus far but LEAVE Tamya out of it! Perhaps some of the fondest memories I have of childhood revolve around Tamiya kits...one more slur against them and I shall demand satisfaction sir!
OTOH you can slate Revel and Airfix all you want
p.s Can we/I assume (safely or not) that your thess, once completed, will be post on the SWJ (or another reputable journal, of which, f course, there are many) where we can all get our teeth into it?

Please. They all date back to Da Vinci. All WW 1 did was copy his brilliance.
