If you sent a lone modern tank like a Abrams, Leopard, or black panther back to WW2 with a continuous supply of spare parts, ammo, fuel etc. Would it make a difference?
I know a lone modern fighter jet would make a huge difference but have always wondered about a tank

You do realize that the continuous supply of ammo, fuel, and spare parts would have so much more of an effect than literally any other thing you could do, right?

The barrels in those tanks are rated for 1500 shots. That’s all you’ll get out of the tank. Sure, you can call the barrel a spare part and assume another one is at the ready, but at that point I’ll start asking why the Allies can’t just start assembling other Abrams from the infinite spare parts pile.
