What are you riding in the lower left corner there? Is that a Grant?

You don't have Steel Panthers??

Eastern front games are fun but at the operational level, the differences in tanks tends to get blurred to the point where you don't really notice their individual impact. (least i never really noticed one in Second Front/War in Russia)

ORIGINAL: Terminus

The Type 92 Tankette not good enough for you?[:'(]

If i'm in Malaya and have to travel down a small muddy trail, yeah, i'll take the Type 92's.....the KT's will all be stuck in the mud and out of the battle. [:D]

Which still weighs less than you, on par with a Jagd-Tiger

Your probably familiar with the BEEP BEEP BEEP sound the big rigs make whenever you have to back up.

If possible I would have started a research program for airborne King Tigers!
Even if you miss the enemy, it should be possible to plant a new 'Gustav Line' anywere within 48 hours.

Yep, that's a Grant in the background...strangely enough I was more interested in the Panther, Jagdpanter, Tiger, King Tigerm, Jagdtiger and Stugs. Evil Empires always make a lot of kewl stuff [8|]

Here's a rare sight: a KV

Wow......as many years as I've been playing SL, ASL, SPWAW........I don't think I've ever noticed that the KV-1 didn't have a T-34 style suspension.

Looks like it was in winter camo. Is this one the Finns captured?

The KV is a mid 42 model, from the Bovington exhibition! Highly recommended.
It's painted in Leningrad paint scheme, but I don't think it was captured by the Finns.
Can't remember its history.

Well the best heavy soviet Tank of the early stage of the war Was KV-2 with 152 mm Howitzer this monster was invunrable to any kind of AT fire[:D] and a hit from its main gun riped German Armor apart[:D][:D]

If KVII was the best the Soviets had then KT is the most maneuverable AFV around...

When it could hit one......and if the tank was lucky to be on an even slope. (any kind of hill and the massive turret could only be turned with extreme difficulty)

I'd rather have a conventional KV-1 than a 2.

I read that a single KV-2 Cut supply Lines for an Entire German Regiment and it took over 24 houers to Disable it ( crew ditched the Tank after it runned out of Ammo )

The KV-2 was a piece of crap. It was unreliable, slow, too-high profile, too heavy... It was basically not a tank, but a mobile artillery piece. The KV-1 was far more useful...
