Why should it given those given they never had panzer grey, they arrived after dark yellow became the standerd and they never saw service in the desert, 3 tone camo is the only right thing for the Elefant.
If I had any question with regards to you not knowing what you are talking about then now i have the proof, the Ferdiandn was build on th rejected chassis of the Tiger I porsche.
It was never ever going to see more unless the Tiger Porsche had gone into production as well.
And yet again this complete and uetter fixation on no hull MG, your starting to sound like a bad grammophone, just repeating the same nonsense, it didn't impact the Ferdinands that much at Kursk.
@Dreachon Its no one's Fault that the Germans forgot to place in an MG, but that wasnt the only thing that made the Elefant look bad, its overall weight, mechanical problems fuel consumption also contributed to its poor performance as an Offensive Weapon, and why do you think less than 100 were ever produced in those 2 years in service compared to the StuG III and IV, because they were more faster to build and more versatile than the Elefant
It's also rather dumb that you base the entrie performance of the Elefant throught the war, that's 2 years of serive on just not having a MG in the hull at Kursk while completely ignoring the vast amount of russian rants they knocked out on the eastern front, during the withdrawls following Kursk it were often 2 to 3 Ferdinands that stopped company after company of armour buying precious time for others to get away.
@Dreachon ok! thanks for lettin me know!
