T110's Northern Migration

The T14 stuff kinda annoys me atm but then I have been reading the British Army Staff (AFV) Situation Reports which paint a very different view on the T14.

76mm guns were also to be on Tanks in very very small numbers initially and when Denvers comes back from North Africa  these numbers go up but most of these 76mm guns went to TDs and not Tanks... It would not be until months later that they get redirected to Tanks. Again at the Sit Reps...

The Tungsten issue is BS... According to the Canadians who were told to STOP producing so much Tungsten.

Turret transverse is complicated.  The Panther D has fairly good optics in terms of field of view but poor transverse. Where as the A and G and F have the transverse but the optics field of view for the gunner is narrower. Now according to the British figures for the optics and comparing it to the US optics on the M4. The D model is comparable. Where as with the A G and F it got narrower and iirc the magnification got higher. Now US optics were continually being upgraded in magnification and improved field of views... as well as better gradients on the optics themselves to make it more user friendly.

I would list more stuff... but I am sure others would want to list things.

The_Chieftain:    I don’t know what the British view of T14 was, but the US test reports are pretty condemning.   I have not seen anything discussing the relative allocation of 76mm guns between TDS and M4s, but the documents listing the raw numbers of M4s clearly state that the intent for the 76mm Quick-Fix turrets was to have a thousand of them for the invasion of North Africa.   Tungsten... may be BS, but that is what was reported.   Are those optics comparisons referring only to the US direct vision telescope, or also including the combination periscopoc sight?
