mrensing -> RE: Underrated German tanks (10/31/2019 4:04:12 PM)

I don't think any German panzer was underrated. The I and II worked well for what they were designed for, doubly so since the Germans were constrained by treaties when designing these platforms. They actually performed well above what they were designed for. Now if you want to talk about underrated, talk about the French tanks. They were, pound-for-pound, superior to their panzer counter-parts. For a whole host of reasons, they were soundly beaten; because of that they have been historically sneered at and looked down upon. I did several papers on the subject, and IMHO, had the French armor been used correctly they would have put a whoopin on the panzer corps.
