Size was huge compared to it's German and US counterparts.
#Tank battles of wwii plus
Plus it was a low complexity engine.Ĭons - crude manufacturing process resulting in wide tolerances in the crankcase and bores resulting in low durability and reliability - which was mostly moot as Russian idea of using armor was not high in regard to crew survivability. Pros > it was relatively light as it was made of aluminum alloy, diesel is less prone to burn w/o increased pressure - higher survivability in case of catastrophic hit, lower consumption per kW, but that's it. Will you please explain better in what? For me is is like this: It was one of the first diesel tank engines, diesel model V-2 used in the T-34 is superior to all of these listed in the OP. Army adopted the M4A3 tank as its standard because the Ford GAA was so much better. Wright Continental R-975 is in no way a contender. I think that's the lot, or at least the important ones - how do you rate them? Pros and Cons please. Wright Continental R-975 radial in the M3 Lee/Grant and M4 Shermanĭiesel GM 6046 (twin linked stright 6 diesels) also in the ShermanĬontinental R-670 radial in the M2/M3/M5 Light tank These engines got used around the world and by different armies, so got a good testing in the field. So to get started, which was the best engine in a US-made tank of the Second World War? Rather than get bogged down in the usual discussions over which tank is best overall - which has to take in so many factors outside the tank design including production and use - I thought I'd focus on one part of a tank at a time.
