Summary
ARMOR: The Complete Series chronicles the journey of a tank crew through the Second World War, from North Africa to Berlin. Action-packed, authentic, and filled with flawed but tough men of the Greatest Generation, ARMOR drops you straight into the horror, brotherhood, and triumph of armored warfare.
You'll fight alongside the crew as they go head-to-head with Tigers at Kasserine Pass, race to Palermo in Sicily, land during the horrific first assault wave at Omaha Beach, crash against the Norman hedgerows, make a stand against Hitler's last blitzkrieg in the Battle of the Bulge, and batter their way into the heart of Nazi Germany. All the while, you'll live with the crew in the cramped, noisy, and vulnerable fighting machine that was the American Sherman tank.
ARMOR: The Complete Series puts together for the first time all five episodes in Craig DiLouie's historical military fiction action & adventure series: The Battle of North Africa, The Fight for Sicily, Fortress Europe, The Bulge, and Reich's Fall.

Stick with it
I keenly approached this one after completing the outstanding crash dive series. At first I was disappointed, it started a bit slow and messily. However, stick with it. As the story progresses, particularly after book 1 it just gets better and better. Needed up fully engaged with all the characters and overall thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Compelling story
After the first couple of chapters I was hooked. Full range of emotions captured by the narrator. If you’re looking to listen to a compelling g tale, with strong characters, lots of action all woven into a fantastic story - then I’d recommend giving this a go.

This is a fun listen. I highly recommend it for tank nuts.
If you love armor and ww2 you will enjoy this series. First off, it’s a great value. You get a lot of listening for one credit. Second the narrator does an amazing job. I hope I come across him more. Some readers whom do characters kind of struggle to make them separate without cheesing it up a bit. None of that here. Even the accents are well done.
Now the story. It’s pretty good. I debated between four or five stars here. For the vast majority it is excellent. Fits the historical backdrop. Always referencing actual drives and engagements. It’s really well done in that sense. The dialogue between the crew is for the most part, and I’m kind of inclined to nit pick here, is pretty strong. However, I doubt anyone will notice the things I did and so I give it a well earned 4.5.
Another really cool thing about this set of stories is that there is sound effects. Now I normally hate them. As well as music, in audiobooks. However, it’s really low key and used sparingly. So that when you hear a Stuka dive it adds to the character’s fear instead of blending into the background noise as well... background noise. It contributes well to the world the author has created.
Check this out if you want some tank action. It’s easily top 3 in tank fiction on audible. Far, far, to many in this genre are full of cliches and corney dialogue. This one was a pleasure.
I requested a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my second series from this author !! Awesome
I absolutely love these books. Yes they are a little far fetched but the history part is pretty good. It is a very good listen. Very much worth it.

Disappointing
I really wanted to like Armor. The story premise was most promising: An American tank crew thrown together with very dissimilar backgrounds and forced to fight as team in the newly issued Sherman starting in North Africa and moving across Europe, They faced well trained and well equipped Germans.
Technically, most details were accurate (except for continually referring to tracks as treads). But though fairly well developed, the characters were obnoxious. I never felt any attachment to a single one. It felt like endless 1940's cliche's and tired old sayings. If one of the characters got hit or perished, I simply didn't care, I ended up hoping that someone more interesting would now be a part of the drawn out story.
The narrator did a good job and there were some background sound effects at times. Unfortunately that did not improve the rather long winded story that, in my view, held no surprises or drew me in. I got to the point where listening to this story was a chore. And that for me is the mark of a book to take a hard pass on.

Great story on the experiences of a tank crew.
This story captures so much of the real experiences of a tank crew. The hardships and day to day requirements to keep a complex combat vehicle operational are on point. The friendships and banter amongst the crew are true to life. Take it from a combat tanker, this is an enjoyable series.

Great Story but Too Short
22 hours long and I wish there was another 22 to listen to. The author mixes character development, technical detail, action and foxhole philosophy in an enthralling story. Its fun, insightful and engaging. I only gave the performance 4 stars because the sound effects occasionally sound a touch cheezy. This is the first audiobook I look forward to listening to again.

Gritty WWII Combat Stories
I enjoyed this series of books. After finishing the Crash Dive series from this author, I was looking forward to this series and Mr. Dilouie did not disappoint. Lots of action. The characters are well-developed. And as the series went on I grew more attached to them. I felt the author did a good job blending action with historical description, and struck a decent balance developing fully rounded characters. The books follow a crew through Africa and the European campaign of WWII, ending with the fall of Nazi Germany.

Pedestrian story and narration
It’s ok but not gripping by any means. It’s a good value as an 5 book buy and I liked the ending. Had lots of potential but it wasn’t really a great listen.
