I guess they heard about "infiltration" and did not bother to think? :)
(Loza mentioned his brigade loved to abuse Sherman being quieter rhan T-34 to get a platoon or a company into a flanking position during the night before assaults)

Did they ever get stronger springs on forward roadwheels? Remember a SU-100 losing one few years ago on a public event in CZ :)
The Egyptian T-34 with 122mm D-30 might be also a strong contender for "who can abuse the suspension the most" though.

Plus a lot of technology demonstrators, like the Australian Sentinel with twin 25pdr (built to simulate recoil of 17pdr gun when Australians had none at hand).
I am still from time to time trying to look whenther someone found the Czechoslovakian Tiger with prototype 75mm autoloader :)

"The movie glorifies the small, misguided group of reactionaries who fought to keep the feudal system in place, leading to the eventual bloodshed of the peasant revolts of 1553 and subsequent religious wars. All this could have been avoided if Duke Felmet's plot deposed the king..."

Can't have them stringbags getting wet, can we?

Hmm... what would be the typical freeboard for WWII fleet carriers anyway?
