Weapons tend to become equal in war as some are shown effective.
Back when computers used DOS, I was really into war games on the computer, especially WWII tank battles. Steel Panthers and Panzer Blitz come to mind. Anyway, according to all I read, the German Panther was one hell of a tank. But the Tiger and Tiger II blew them out of the water. Lucky for us, the Tiger II came late in the war and the Germans were not able to make all that many. The Soviet T-34/85 were noted as being very good tanks. The American Sherman not so much. The only way a Sherman could take out a Tiger or Tiger II was to gang up on it and land a lucky shot to the rear armor of the Tiger. At one time I was pretty good at remembering the armor of each main tank and where it was thickest and thinnest. Since the death of DOS I have not found a good tank warfare game and I now mainly play rpg/shooter type games.
