In the end, both captured vehicles were delivered to the NIIBT proving ground, where vehicle #102 underwent further maneuverability tests. This testing encountered severe obstacles connected with the extremely low reliability of the chassis elements, engine, and transmission. It was determined that 860 liters of fuel was sufficient for 90 km of movement over an dirt road, even though the vehicle's manual indicated that this amount of fuel should have been sufficient for 120 km. Fuel consumption per 100 km was 970 liters instead of the 700 liters according to this same (captured) manual. Average rate of movement along the highway was 25-30 km/h, 13.4-15 km/h along an dirt road. The average speed when moving over rough terrain was even worse: 6-7 km/h. The maximum speed, given as 41.5 km/h in the tank's technical documentation, was never even once achieved in the maneuverability tests.
Since when modern tanks stay still on the battlefield, without any maneuvers? Imo, it was T-34 with its sloped armour and later - IS-3 who put a begining to a modern tanks.It was the Tiger II who set a standard of what a moderen tank should be.
What do you mean saying "disinformation"? Those guys tested KT themselves, how could they possibly be disinformed? This report was made for their high command, thus it doesn't contain any propaganda crap.and from what I hear from guys who know more about this stuff than even I do say that a lot of soviet reports are tanted from missinformation so you have to be somewhat carefull when reading them.
russian experts
Its like the battle of kusrk that thy made up (you know the one, every one thinks of with 1500+ tanks duking it out with hundreds knocked out by the end of the day.) the real battle only hade ~10 Tigers, and no panthers, with less than 250 tanks on the german side, with some 600 soviet tanks on the other. Insted of hundreds on oth sides being destroyed only 50 german and some 200 soviet where taken out.
