Can any ww2 tank can still have a fighting chance in the modern era?

[Leavee]

So i've been thinking alot lately about ww2 (because i like it a bit to much) and most notably,the tanks of that era.Some were good some were just bad (like the ferdinand lol) and others are just downright insane to even think it was real.

But this got me thinking if any of the tanks such as the m4 sherman,IS-2,or even the tiger l or the super heavy tanks like the maus and m28 super heavy tank would fair today,the easy answer might be a big solid NO but ehhh.

... Somewhat close. 3rd World uses gorilla tactics in most cases.

Nukes? Not likely, every country knows if it were to happen it'd result in MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) as we they all launch their's in retaliation. It's not beneficial to them to have a destroyed world. ... Unless on the rare chance we get a psycho in power then yeah, but otherwise you don't have much to worry about when it comes to that.

For us, we'll mostly use superior air-power, cruise missiles in support of boys on the ground... or ships on the water.

You sure know alot about history and some military equipment i'll give ya that
(also yeah i think its best to use a nuke when a man like another hirohito or anyone really would conquer parts of the world)

Thanks, I mean, I'm no expert, but it's one of the things I've been studying; as well as one of my passionate interests since I was a kid (since I was like 6 or 9 years of age etc, that long ago).

Speaking of a water battle, for the US in particular, if any one country were to take us on on the water it'd be total annihilation. We have 50 percent of the world's aircraft carriers and ours are super carriers, combined, we have over 1K aircraft and if all were used in that one engagement we'd wipe out the enemy navy in no time with proper support (destroyers, submarines etc).

By far, we have the world's strongest navy out there.

Well thats what happens when your nation has 600 BILLION in there pockets,and also the same country who had to use the A bomb to finally end japans regin over SEA.

Mhm, for sure.

Having said that, it's sad to see Japan's navy a shadow of their former selves. Back in WWII, the IJN and the USN were the juggernauts of the sea war. Both were equal to one another (with the US having a slight edge, most Japanese ships didn't have things like radar and etc).

Brits and Germans had it rougher, but Brits had it much better off than the Germans. The Germans primarily had destroyers and U-Boats (the U-Boats being their greatest strength until better counter-measures were developed than the tables turned).

Certainly on the water, the Germans were gimped compared to the land and air.

Early '40s were the best times to be a German sailor by far...

Heck... even an "Infantry Fighting Vehicle" would probably destory tanks during WW2 and IFVs aren't really "true tanks".

Yamato sank,and trying to take midway was the biggest oof that they have done.

Oh yeah, the Yamato might have had the bigger guns but it was outclassed compared to the Iowa's radar and targeting and so on, the Yamato had to be under certain conditions for it to win whereas the Iowa could operate in any condition.

2 US carriers lost, 4 IJN carriers lost. That was a embarrassing blow to the IJN and then it went downhill even more from there.

Well it went on a landslide after losing the philippines and barely even getting through australia as a whole and was to surrender otherwise they'd just kill themselves on a war they are about to lose.

Exactly, it was just that Midway was a very pivotal moment in the war, sealing their fate for sure. Without a carrier force they were helpless.

Carriers were prized ships and prime targets to take out and you could see it as being a trophy if one were nailed.
