It was meant to fulfill a different operational role, was several tons heavier, and far slower. About the only similarity is that the Tiger II, like postwar tanks, had angled armor, but that dates back to prewar French tanks, not the Germans.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733660216991012309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-40860549100491443582016-07-04T09:35:43.455-04:002016-07-04T09:35:43.455-04:00Dont forget about the Tiger II that basically fath...Dont forget about the Tiger II that basically fathered the design. Americans were rather slow to catch onto that design. Patton and Walker Bulldog come to mind. <br />One could also argue to some degree that the soviet T-34/85 turret also followed that idea, but to a lesser extent. Though the soviets didnt stick with that idea preferring the reverse soup bowl from the T-54 and IS-3 onwards.

Somewhat influenced by the "needlenose" design the Americans used in whatwasitnow, M47 I'd imagine.<br /><br />Weren't both the Pattons (up to at least the M48) and the T-54/55s originally classified as medium tanks by their respective makers though? Both had heavy tanks in service too (albeit not very many in the US case) so the term was still actually meaningful...Kellomieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04915110653443066212noreply@blogger.com
