Swordfish - Taranto 1940 - Half the effective Italian Navy for the loss of, some reports say 1 plane and crew, others say 2 planes and 1 crew.... I don't call that "bad" I call that "bloody lucky".

PzKpfw I is different from the PzKpfw VI Tiger, VERY different.
Panzer I was effectively what was needed in WWI, not Blitzkrieg.
Panzer VI was an over-sized tank that was a good idea, just not for a country with low supplies, heck a modern M1A2 SEP is slightly bigger than a Tiger.
As for the FAL on full auto, wait till you are doing shoulder-stock fire of a Gimpy while using it on a "bodge mount" in a Landy doing cross country riding, both your shoulder and back hurt like hell.
