We are back with another pair of tanks to compare. Please welcome Panzer III Ausf. J and Valentine Mk III. The guys are very old (you could say they saw WW2 with their own eyes!), so please be nice to them! Check out the description of each tank below, and don't forget to tell us which model is your favorite and why.
Valentine Mk III
Valentine Mk III is a British infantry tank with a QF 2-pounder (40mm) tank gun as the main armament and a machine gun as a secondary. Valentine was extensively used in the North African Campaign, earning a reputation as a reliable and well-protected vehicle. The tank has replaced the Matilda tank. Mk III shared the common weakness of the British tanks of the period - its 2-pounder gun lacked high-explosive (anti-personnel) ammunition and soon became outdated as an anti-tank weapon. By the time the models with a 6-pounder gun were developed, superior tanks were already in use. By 1944, the Valentine design had been almost replaced by the Churchill and M4 Sherman tanks.
Panzer III Ausf. J
Panzer III Ausf. J is the most common version of Panzer III design which saw fighting in Russia and North Africa. The tank was equipped with a short-barreled 50mm gun. Ausf. J fared well in fighting against a British Crusader cruiser and the US-supplied M3 Stuart light tanks. However, this tank performed less effective against heavily armored Matilda II. The production stopped in 1942.
