WIR in SVGA

<t>Hello all.<br/>
<br/>
One thing that I've noticed over time,with upgrading my system,getting new video cards,better and larger monitors etc. Wir has begun to suffer from it. At least the strain on my eyes has. The games resolution likes to flicker on my computer and my 20in monitor stretches the ...

Human factory control and changing factories.

<t>Hello all<br/>
<br/>
I've been reading The German Army 1933-1945 by Matthew Cooper and came across something intresting. In mid 1943 there was a conversation between Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer concerning aircraft and tank production. I beleive this was before the Kursk offensive. Hitler ...

Pz-III production from 1937 to 1943

<t>Hello all.<br/>
<br/>
I was wondering if the Pz-IIIh should be changed to the Pz-IIIJ/141 in Wir? Only 308 Pz-IIIh were made from October 1940 to April 1941 when production shifted to the Pz-IIIj with still regular 5cm gun. 1,549 5cm Pz-IIIj were built from March 1941 to July 1942. Pz-IIIj/141/1 ...
