An abundance of Russian tanks

Post by von Beanie »

It's mid-1943 and I've got over 8000 T34/42 in my reserve pile (there's also >6000 light tanks too). I've built lots of tank brigades and independent tank regiment support units, but I can't seem to stop this number from growing. It seems like a waste because I can't afford the 20 AP to form the brigades into more useful tank corps, and the brigades are mostly useless as combat units.

Since I can't change production, what would you do?

Your kidding -- 14,000 tanks in your reserve pool! How many tanks do you have in combat and support units?

I'm in similar shape, although not quite as many as von Beanie. I've got about 9500 tanks in my OOB and more than 6k T34s in my pool. And I have created quite a few tank corps and independent tank regiment SUs.

By mid-1943, you should have round about 25 Tank Corps, 9 Mech Corps, 40 Tank Brigades, and nearly 100 Tank Regiments. But if you've managed to save all of your tank factories and haven't frittered away your tank strength to the extent that the Russians did in 1942, then you'll likely have a large number of tanks in the pool.
