I've added a new photo of the M4 Sherman Medium Tank.

New computer

Putting together my new computer today (new motherboard, cpu, and memory), and getting it setup. Hopefully be back soon with making updates to the site.

United States' M4 Medium Tank updated

The M4 Medium Tank may not have been the best tank during World War II, but it was reliable, and in numbers that allowed it to arm the Western Allies and supply them to Russia as well.
I've reorganized the M4 pages and added some minor information.

United States' M3 medium tank updated

The M3 Medium Tank was a design that was quickly put into production to get a more potent tank in the field while waiting for a better design to be developed. Almost 6,300 M3s were built during World War II. The British used many of them, and did like the 75 mm gun that gave them parity with German guns, though the M3 was rather tall.

United States' M22 light tank, Locust updated

The M22 Locust was intended to be used by airborne forces. However, the Americans didn't have gliders large enough to transport them. The British did, and used the Locust in combat.

United States' M2 medium tank updated

The M2 Medium was basically an upgraded M2 Light Tank. It had been intended to produce 1,000 of them but after seeing events in Europe in 1940 it was decided to design an improved medium tank to meet the needs of the military.

United States' M24 light tank, Chaffee updated

Not only was the M24 Chaffee an excellent light tank, but it led the way in producing a "combat team" of military vehicles that would share the same chassis, thus simplifying maintenance and supply.
I've made some minor additions and reorganized the page.

United States' M5 light tank updated

I've now updated the page for the M5 Light Tank I've also split out the the page for the M5A1.

United States' M3 light tank, Stuart updated

The M3 Light Tank was probably used by all the major Allied powers during World War II along with some captured ones being used by Axis forces as well. I've updated and broken out the different models of the M3.

United States' M2 light tank updated

A tank that was primarily used for training was the M2 Light Tank. It did see some limited combat in the Pacific.
I've updated and broken out the different models to their own pages.

United States' M1 Combat Car updated

All tank forces had to begin with elementary designs at some point and one of the more successful early designs used by the United States Army was the Combat Car M1. In actuality it was a tank, but it had to be called a Combat Car to get by Congressional restrictions on tank development.
I've now added some minor historical updates.

United States' History updated

Lessons weren't learned from World War I and the United States was woefully lacking in tanks and other weapons at the start of World War II. Luckily industry was able to ramp up to become the arsenal of democracy. I've added some additional historical information for the United States.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen V, Panther, SdKfz 171 updated

The tank that was intended to be the main battle tank for the German forces was the PzKpfw V "Panther". It may have been one of the best tanks of World War II with it's powerful main armament, excellent armor protection, and decent speed. Luckily for the Allies, they were never produced in large numbers.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf F2 and Ausf J updated

I've now updated the specification information for the PzKpfw IV Ausf F2 and the PzKpfw IV Ausf J.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen IV, SdKfz 161 medium tank updated

The mainstay of the German army was the PzKpfw IV medium tank, despite other tanks that receive much more recognition (Tiger and Panther).

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen III, (PzKpfw III) SdKfz 141 updated more

I finished adding specification information for the PzKpfw III Ausf B, Ausf G, and Ausf N.
Also made a couple minor updates to the PzKpfw III production page.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen III, (PzKpfw III) SdKfz 141 updated

Working on updates to the PzKpfw III Medium Tank pages.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen II Light Tank updated

During the past couple of days I've been updating the PzKpfw II light tank pages. Reorganized the photos, added additional historical and specification information for some of the different models.

Germany's Panzerkampfwagen I, SdKfz 101 updated

Originally intended to only be a training tank, nevertheless, the German Panzerkampfwagen I was used in combat due to the inadequate numbers of better tanks in the Panzer units. They were used in Poland, France, and the early phases of Barbarossa before they were withdrawn from front line units. Many of them were converted into other uses, such as self propelled artillery or antitank weapons.
