Picture of the Day

[IrishReloaded]

zimmerit was just applied till september 44- cause there was a myth that it burns

[Flippy Warbear]

...or that germans realised that no one else than they themselfs used magnetic anti-tank mines so they decided not to apply anymore "useless" zimmerit.

Germans had magnetic mines

But germans believed there own german bias that everyone copies from germans

Now Zimmerit did had one advantage=Captured Hoffladungs couldnt be used against zimmerit equipped tanks
HOWEVER
the biggest disadvantage was that a zimmerit was applied when the vehicle was done.........And the vehicle coated in zimmerit had to remain idle for >3< days for the zimmerit to dry

Zimmerit was recently copied by someone on youtube, and it did worked..

The problem was indeed the myth that it burns.  The crews refused to drive the tanks, so they had to stop putting it on them.

... And Not a Single Fuck Was Given That Day ...

now there's an understatement

[IrishReloaded]

still zimmerit and the hundrets of different way its applied is facinating - and it helps telling which version a tank is pretty easy and some 2mm non steal armour is always welcome

[THeTA0123]

It had zero effect

but it worked for its intended purpose
