I'd argue that maneuver and mobility had a lot to do with German victories, although of course the 88 contributed as well.

Not that bad, but they were doctrinal bastards, since the HE performance of the 76 mm guns wasn't that great, and the loss of turret traverse speed affected the US doctrinal idea of tanks as used in breakthrough and exploitation, not AT warfare.Originally posted by David Floyd
True, but up-gunned Shermans (Sherman 76s) weren't actually that bad.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

Sure, but mud and ice weren't a factor in the early German victories.The T34 was much more mobile on Russian terrain, particularly in mud and ice. Its treads were about twice as wide comparable German tanks
And case, we are probably talking about the T-34/85, although of course it was the /76 that was first used at Smolensk.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Yes, the T34 had nice suspension too.
