With the Desert Air Force making great strides in being able to knock out tanks using cannons and rockets, it seems the Germans and Italians never could adapt to the threat other than making tracked and motorized anti air craft weapons. Is it fair to say that from late 1942 onwards the Panzers had lost any momentum due to poor relations with the Luftwaffe?

Hello folks, as a new patron, this is my first question, so please forgive me if this is old news to many of you. My Father served in the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment in the 70's and 80's, meaning that I grew up to the awesome sound of the Chieftain as it rolled around the Sennelager ranges. I have since heard that this tank was notoriously unreliable and under powered. Was this really fair criticism of a machine that I remember with such fondness, particularly because of the soul moving noise it made when moving at speed? Knowing that many tanks are re-equipped when replaced by new tanks, what happened to the Chieftain once Challenger was introduced and do you have any examples of them? Also, is there a reason as to why British Main Battle tanks are all named with the letter C? Thank you for what you do, preserving historical wonders like these. I spent many happy weekends in the museum as a child, when my father was posted to Bovington prior to his leaving the army in the middle of the 1980's.
