World War Two Weapons
My report is on the Weapons of World War Two. There are many weapons in world war 2 but im going to go over just a few of the weapons that made the greatest effect on the oppositions. Here are a few weapons that the allies had that made the greatest affect against the opposition. The T-34 was by far the best tank design in world war 2. In addition to having an excellent combination of firepower, armor, mobility, its superb design, which made it very simle and durability. This made it possible to mass produce it in enormous numbers, and gave it very high field and combat reliability, two critical attributes which the advanced german tanks lacked. It was the main war winning weapon of Russia in world war 2.(www.qt.org/worldwar/weapons) As a result of the need for an all-purpose main battle tank, the T-34 was developed as a medium tank descendant of those fast light tanks, but designed to be a capable main battle tank. The T-34 was lower in height than german and american tanks, which was better in using the terrain for taking cover and make it a smaller target to hit. It had sloped armor in both the front and side hull and the turret, which made it harder to penetrate, and of course it had a powerful 76mm gun, which wa
The others were to fight the great majority of the more than 40,000 Sherman tanks produced and one remember that the sky above the battlefields were then dominated by swarms of allied fighter bombers such as the american Thunderbolt and the british Typhoon which excelled in hunting german tanks and kept doing it whenever the sky were clear enough to fly. ( It means the Sherman could not hide as well as other tanks which is likely what its crews wanted to do when german Tigers were nearby. In the anti-shipping role is was operated in large numbers by the Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force. It bombed Japan since june 1944, initially with high altitude day missions, but since the strong winds greatly reduced precision, a new tactic was adopted in which the guns were removed and the bombers flew night missions at low altitude and higher speed, and destroyed Japan's cities one by one with massive attacks which created huge fire storms. (ww2 chronicles) B-25 Mitchell the main american medium bomber since 1940, carrying up to 1. (ww2 chronicles) The M4 Sherman weighed 32 tons, had a crew of five, it had a speed of 29mph and it had fuel for 100 miles. It was simply inferior to them in most aspects. It had a crew of 10 and was equipped with advanced electronics, and could carry over 5 tons of bombs, but mostly carried much less, depending on the mission's range. It had a formidable dedicated attack version which excelled in anti-shipping missions, carrying a mighty 75mm gun in the nose, plus up to eight forward firing heavy machine guns, plus a torpedo or bombs. It also meant that such encounters were rare. (ww2 chronicles) I'v came to the conclusion that the weapons of world war 2 were what won the war for the allies.
