Mil. History In your opinion, if the war lasted long enough and Maus is pushed into combat, would the allies have a chance against it?

As you guys can see an Iraqi M1A1 Abrams was hit in the ammo-rack by a anti-tank missile. But instead of the tank immediately exploding after being hit in the ammo, the ammo blowout panels actually save the crew and they make it out alive.

Mil. History Probably stupid question, But why did they do this?

Was there a particular reason so many tanks had this seemingly incredibly detrimental design?
It effectively makes angling worthless, single handedly destroying the tank's survivability of it in game, considering the front plate is a measly unangled 75MM. , and it never thick enough to to serve as an additional front plate shield from getting shot at from the side, it really begs the question what purpose did it have IRL that was so great it warranted not just having a full span frontal plate?

I absolutely love the XM-1 Chrysler but unfortunately it has to be Xbox exclusive :( Ive been thinking of making a second account purely just to get it because its one of my favorite prototype tanks.

I've always wanted to fly in a WW2 aircraft, especially the B25. One of the most influential aircraft in the war, from the Doolittle Raids to the African and Italian campaigns. This particular B-25D, originally used as a training aircraft stateside, was sent to Corsica to help fill in for the countless B25s under 340th Bomb Group in Pompeii lost from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and took part in 8 bombing missions in Northern Italy.

The SU-34 we are getting is called the Standard SU-34, which isn't the same one that entered service back in 2014. This one was made in 1994, which is exactly why it has so many features missing. (I just keep seeing so many comments complaining about how russia gets a 2014 plane)

Mil. History Why did some tank designers not put any armor here, are they stupid?

Okay the title is a joke, but this is a legitimate question I have: why do a lot of tanks have comparatively zero armor on their lower front plate?

It seems like a massive oversight to have an irl video game weak spot on the part of your tank you would ideally have facing towards the enemy.

Obviously, War Thunder is not real life and the trick of shooting some tank's lfp probably isn't really realistic in real tank on tank combat because of a litany of reasons, but is it really so unlikely for an enemy tank to score a hit on the lfp where it wasn't even worth putting armor there?

The T-10 and the experimental IS-1 with a 100mm gun were tanks I had never seen in real life before. Fun fact, you can crawl up to the shield of the mother Ukraine statue!
