Was the united states lacking good artillery during the Vietnam war? I seen all the talk about the m14 and m16, but I don't hear about the main killer in wars.Also do you think we should have used actual chemical weapons for the jungle

Yup, he was certainly helpful. Monty was an egotistical blowhard who only wanted to kill "muh Germans" and find glory in killing as many as he could. He was a pain in everyone's ass as he begged for supplies to lead his pointless "unified front" campaign which did nothing but hand Berlin over the the Soviet rape hoard because he had the same brand of European pettiness that gave us the Dresden bombing and England not accepting peace terms from Hitler after the fall of France. You are the boomer, England.

Fucks sake ever heard of negermischelange? Soviets didnt rape hardly any germans because they didnt really hardly capture any territory where germans lived. Allies took 4/5ths of Germany and the 1/5th Soviets took was populated by slavs (serbs/poles/cheques) as much as Germans. Half the stories of Russian raping Germans are absolute provable bullshit published by CIA during cold war to "maintain an ally".
If any Soviet rapes took place it was probably Ukrainians raping Poles or something similar, since Ukrainians were used for prison guard forces.

>I'm guessing that North Africa and Sicily conveniently didn't count anywhere in there?
North Africa was over by the time the US intervened, the axis fighting a rear guard battle. And the only time the US had a major engagement was Kasserine pass. After that the UK systemically took on the brunt of ALL the western theater campaigns.
>Sicily.
Sicily was largely undefended (due to a very successful British deception), most of the italians run away due to early OSS/Mafia shenanigans and the Germans withdrew safely and entirely (with the remaining Italian that hadn't turn-coat) from A FUCKING ISLAND despite allies having an overwhelming advantage in sea and air power.
Italy was a such a shit show Germans were still holding almost all of the industrialized parts of it by April of 1945.
Maneuver warfare is the art of inflicting a maximum of casualties by outmaneuvering your opponent usually by cutting his forces off and then promptly reducing the weakened pockets thus formed.
Something the US never managed to do once in WWII even if by some miracle (usually called Patton) a pocket formed said pockets were almost never properly weakened as they formed over a stupid amount of time allowing the trapped units to properly grab as much supplies as they could and dig deep defensive positions (hell you still had Germans pockets in France in May 1945, they conducted air and even submarine operations until they ran out, of their extensive stock, of fuel).
Patton (*kofkof* who was french cavalry trained *kofkof*) was literally the only US general that understood that. And was therefore belittled, only used as a last resort and all of his breakthrough efforts immediately pissed away by his peers.
And the only one the Germans deemed a threat.

In his headcannon hes outright using late model Panzer III modified specifically to fight the T-34 after the shock of not being able to do shit against it initially with early model T-34.
>Panther vs M4 and T-34 is absolutely a fair argument.
Again Panthers were purpose-built to fight T-34 using a lot of the techniques that made T-34 an excellent design initially - the sloped armor, high gearing, and wide tracks. It's also twice as heavy, in practical terms heavy enough to be a heavy tank.
It's like comparing IS to Tiger family.

It may be a stretch but its technically correct if we're looking at it from genetics perspective. Soviet raping Germanized Sorbs didn't really soil the German gene pool nearly as much as outright fucking Africans raping actual Germans. The second offends me a HELL of a lot more than the first.

Okay.
Early Panzer III (Short 50mm, F-H, 1940) was superior to T-34 models 1940 and 1941, and arguably the 1942.
>Again Panthers were purpose-built to fight T-34
How can the Panther be purpose built to counter to counter a tank that entered service after it.
Sure, but we are trying to compare contemporary tanks. I'm not talking about the T-34-76.
The T-34-85 was in service AFTER the Panther and was an objectively worse design.
And don't start with the cope that Panther was a heavy tank.

Nigger, "the rape of Berlin didn't happen" is a globalist narrative.
USSR is globalist, the same shit as the US.
The only ones who do mention the rape themselves are the germans or german sympathizers.

Rapes absolutely did happen, of course, with the greatest orgies of violence occuring in the eastern parts like Prussia and Pommerania. Due to the dawning Cold War and the necessities of rapidly integrating the conquered territories, the Ivans quickly and quite harshly decided to put a stop to it and re-instated discipline among their troops - even resorting to capital punishment in some cases. If anecdotes are to believed, already from '46/'47 onward, German women could move without fear within Berlin and the rest of the Ostzone. In general the Soviets followed the policy of strictly separating their troops from the civilian population; it was rare for an average civilian to encounter Russian soldiers outside perhaps of military service later on. Actual numbers are hard to come by in any case.

Most of those vehicles were in US depots, ones that were neglected after WWII so badly that those were more of scrap yards than storage depots. Stuff that was battlefield recovered hulks were salvaged during or immediately after WWII, but weren't overhauled properly after the war. Basically occupation troops neglected all the equipment that they didn't use on daily basis. Since Shermans and Pershings were too heavy for many Japanese roads and bridges, only tanks they kept running were Chaffees. Even the undamaged Shermans and Pershings in those depots required heavy overhauls to get operational, due to pure negligence. That negligence also contributed to poor reputation Pershing had, due to its unreliability. Also those depots contained lot more trucks and jeeps than occupation troops needed. So those too were neglected.

Oh the rape of Berlin DID happen, but it certainly wasn't russians doing it. As it was pointed out earlier in the thread, the soviets had only 1/3rd of berlin, the other 2/3rds were controlled by niggers from america. Google negermischlinge.
It's a Jewish invention that russians somehow raped german women, but mullatoes, anglos, spics, and niggers from allied states didn't.

Do you realise that the Soviets could rape more despite controlling fewer women, right? If I rape every woman I see in a day, and I see five women, I have raped five women. If you rape every tenth woman you see, but see fifty women, we have raped an equal number of women. Do you know what per capita means?
