Small arms have evolved little since WW2, but not so more advanced weapons. I've always been fascinated by the evolution of the tank, and anti-tank systems. Like Napolean with his B-29 at Waterloo, I enjoy imagining a handful of M1-A1 tanks at Kursk or during the Bulge, and the German 88's and Panzers countering them. But I know little about the subject.
Would an M1 tank, given unlimited fuel and munitions and barring mechanical breakdown, sweep aside axis forces like a man would swat mosquitos? At night, I have no doubt it'd be nearly invincible.
In WW2, the 88 was lethal. Would this round basically bounce off an M1, or does it stand a chance? Panzerfaust - worthless, or does it too have a chance to be effective? My novice guess would be mobility kills at best, but an inability to penetrate and kill the crew.
