Probably the best tanks built during WWII were the German Panzerkampfwagen Tiger tanks, Panzer IV, and the Panther. The Soviet T-34 was a very formable tank against the Germans so the Tigers were built. T-34, Tiger 1, Tiger 2, Panzer IV, and Panther to name five. British Cruiser MK VI Crusader
Not quite sure what you mean by 'special'. WWII tanks were certainly better than WWI tanks.
Lego WWII tanks are available on eBay, Amazon, and brickmania.
Between 1933 and 1945, Germany built about 30,000 tanks and tank destroyers.
Pretty much everything, but the major ones I'd cite are:Armour (composite materials vs. rolled homogenous steel of WWII tanks)Armament (105mm rifled guns and 120mm smoothbore guns vs. 37mm, 75mm, and 76mm guns of WWII tanks)Drivetrain (diesel and turbine motors vs. petrol motors of WWII tanks)Fire control system (computerised with night vision and thermal sights vs. daylight-only manual controls of WWII tanks)
During WWII, US tanks burned gasoline for fuel; during the Vietnam War US Patton and Sheridan tanks used diesel for fuel.
They were German boats used in WWII.
Panzer=Armor. Therefore your question is asking "what impact did armor have in WWII?" Armor=Tanks=Panzer was simply an evolution process. Before tanks, men fought USING HORSES. In WWII every combatant nation (the smart ones) exchanged their HORSES for tanks! All combatants in WWII had tanks (panzers, armor); the USSR had T34 medium tanks; the US used M3 Stuarts & Lees; the French & Italians used Renaults and Fiat tanks; Japan had Type 97 medium & Type 95 light tanks; Germany had Mk I thru 7's. Just part of the evolution of mankind...horses to tanks, swords to rifles!
WWI- Horses & carriages, motorcycles, cars & trucks, tanks, airplanes, ships WWII- Motorcycles, cars & trucks-I believe the Jeep was first used in WWII, "half-tracks" tanks, airplanes, ships, submarines
WWII thru Vietnam was 5 tanks per platoon. 3 tanks led by the LT was the heavy section, 2 tanks led by the platoon sergeant was the light section. After Vietnam, everything changed.
A Tiger tank was more powerful than a Sherman with Armor and the size of the gun. In WWII, it took about 4 Shermans to take out 1 Tiger.
The three main weapons introduced in WWII, were better and new weapons, stronger tanks such as the Panzer, Tiger, King Tiger E.T.C. They also developed new tactics during this war called the Blitzkriek, another weapon introduced was the new fighter aircraft, ex: P51 D mustang, MK40 Spitfire, Stuka, BF 109, and bombers,. The new bombers introduced in this time was like the Henkels, and B-29'S. Make sense?
