Editorializing
editJust noting while buzzing through that this article seems at once pro-US biased. "ThE country luckily" had a high industrial capacity? Wasn't very lucky for the germans, was it? --TVPR 12:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Just the specs, ma'am
editI notice there are a few spex missing, like fuel capacity (477 USgal, 1807 l), engine torque (1830pd-ft @2100rpm), engine compression ratio (4.92:1), ignition system (magneto), transmission (three speed; two fwd, 1 rev), track width (25.75"), electrical system (24VDC), trench crossing (11 ft), vertical wall clearing (4 ft), & turning circle (74 ft).

– Per WP:MILMOS and WP:LOWERCASE. WP:MILMOS#TANKS – "all articles documenting tanks should include "tank" as a part of its title, generally appended at the end"
. WP:MILMOS#Capitalization – "When using numerical model designation, the word following the designation should be left uncapitalized (for example, 'M16 rifle' or 'M109 howitzer') unless it is a proper noun.
". Also for consistency, e.g., with M2 light tank, M2 medium tank, M103 heavy tank, M1917 light tank, T57 heavy tank, T92 light tank, T95 medium tank, and Type 95 heavy tank, and with corresponding tank class articles Light tank, Medium tank, Heavy tank, and Super-heavy tank.
