Big tank battles

When was the last great tank charge in history? I assume WW2?

    You assume wrong. India-Pakistan war of 1965, for a start, as well as some of the Israeli wars. Might also find some stuff in Asia, and the Iran-Iraq war probably has something too.

    Westoids have no understanding of the world. They talk about a "Cold War" when in reality the war was quite hot in a lot of places. There sure as fuck wasn't a Cold War in Asia, but they didn't have that many tanks so not as relevant here.

      Depends on how you define "great". I would put them in the Arab-Israeli Wars.

      Something like 73 Easting had a few hundred tanks at best. Whereas the Battle of the Sinai, a mass tank assault by Egypt on Israeli defenses, had over 1k.

        The Golan front involved more tanks on a smaller front, and much more intense tank combat. The Syrians attacked two points on a 50-mile front with 1,200 tanks and 1000 other armored vehicles. That's a higher concentration of armor than either side brought at Kursk.

        Battle of the 73 Easting that you read about on Wikipedia is just a small part of the Eastbound pivot of the armoured cavalry consisting of thousands of armoured vehicles, while only the American force had three and a half thousand armoured vehicles in the operation in total(not counting light cars, trucks, MLRS and other).

        I wouldn't define "great" as "slightly less retarded brown people killing retarded brown people with foreign equipment".

      Is there a good book to read about Valley Of Tears? Or Yom Kippur in general? Not interested in the politics, only in the operational stuff. Preferably with lots of interviews with soldiers and crew.

      This
      We rammed, what, three American and one British armoured division straight up the middle?
      Plus a Marine division on the right and some temporarily allied habibis

      Could 1 AT-ST take out 12 T-55

        Depends on the AT-ST's loadout and the terrain. It could act like a poor man's gunship and weave in and out of cover from a mountain or hillside in order to pop them one or two tanks at a time if you gave it a turbolaser.

          Isn't the imperial armor supposedly made weak by design for some reason? Their bodyarmor does nothing and their vehicles are shit

            >Their bodyarmor does nothing and their vehicles are shit
            the movie is from the 1970s
            so type II vests that could be defeated by extra-Hispanicy pistol rounds was the norm

          So who had the worst death, the pilots who got crushed and then blown up here.
          Or the pilots in the AT-ST that got tripped up by rolling logs and where the thing exploded when it fell over.

      It depends on the individual jannie.

      It’s obvious that some of her are limp pricks LARPing their lifelong cope fantasies.

      Invariably, such vermin are LibFags.
      Like flies to shit, with such damaged people.

    Valley of Tears.

    Not "great" in that sense, but pretty funny.

    How 500 T-55s and T-62s with NVG equipment lost to 100 WW2 Centurion tanks firing in complete darkness is beyond me.

      The best part was that the Egyptians and Syrians spent months planning the campaign, then when it kicked off the Syrian armor raced to the Israeli frontline and…. stopped dead. Because some idiot put the bridging equipment for the fuckhuge anti-tank ditch on the border at the rear and refused to allow the Syrians to withdraw and wait, so the Israelis got to spend a few hours picking off the Syrians while they just sat there and took it.

    By numbers
    1. Kursk (Prohorvka).
    2. Valley of Tears
    3. 73 Easting

    By total power of tanks involved (T-34 is obviously no match for T-72)
    1. 73 Easting
    2. Valley of Tears
    3. Kursk (Prohorvka).

    For the current war a lot of people will say vuhledar but I think https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Volnovakha
    had more afvs and was also more of an actual tank battle. it's really an unsung battle considering how consequential it was in the short term
