In total, around 285,000 tanks were produced during WW2. Around 185,000 were allied tanks and rest were Axis (mainly German) tanks.
Total 3978 by 2012 to 2013
During the Vietnam War, US Army "Armor" Battalions (Tank Battalions) consisted of approximately 53 to 57 M-48 Patton tanks. 17 tanks per company; three companies per battalion, with two or more tanks in HQ Company. Armored Cavalry Squadrons consisted of approximately 27 to 30 tanks (Patton and later Sheridan tanks). Basic rule of thumb is two or more battalions made up a brigade, two or more brigades made up a division, and two or more divisions made up a corps. AFTER the Vietnam War, the US Army switched from a 5 tank platoon/17 tank company to a more "metric" orientated organization...along with the new 9mm service pistol (which replaced the Army .45). As of 2011, the US Army and US Marine Corps have a total of about 4500 M1A1 and M1A2 tanks in service, with approximately the same number of M1 tanks in storage. The US Army operates about 80% of the total US tanks.
Who makes the US tanks. Fighting planes and. War ships
About 88,000 tanks. After America decided to get involved in the war, the manufacturing of the US was kicked into high gear.
The top three manufacturers of chemical tanks in the US are Pro Tanks, Pressure Chemical Co. and Mix Tanks. The regulation and containment of chemicals in the US is a big business.
janapneese tanks were weak compared to the russains and Americans
The US had no tanks there and the troops didn't the main land either. Airplanes were used to destroy those cities.
The US Army tank platoon in Vietnam held 5 Patton tanks. 3 tanks were called the heavy section, and the remaining two tanks were called the light section. After the VN war the US Army changed to something more closer to the metric system; 4 tank platoons.
