Germans designed this shit with the assumption that their supply chain would never be disrupted. No effort was made to reduce complexity. Say what you will about the Abrams, it lacks this problem more than any other tank made in the last 50 years.

Sure but they run on any kind of fuel you have on hand. If there's an engine on earth that can use that substance as fuel, an Abrams can use it too.

Atlases aren’t that bad but panzer is just “tank” in German, is there a specific panzer you’re referring to?

I mean the tank platform that replaced the Tiger or whatever. I know there were multiple iterations but that's part of the issue. It was all jerry rigged in the end too. They tried to simplify it but it was too late.

This is so gorgeous. Look at how you can just pop out the engine, do whatever needs doing and pop it back in:

Look at how clean a turbine engine is too, compared to any car or truck engine. No oil and debris anywhere, everything all nice and clean and tidy. Easy to see all the components and do whatever needs doing. All u need to know is how they work, same as piston engine but different.

That's your engine bay on a German WWII tank. That hatch is the only way to access the engine:
