Anybody out there planning to do a blue divison mod ?

Considering germany conquered most of europe they did a bad job of using their production resoures .I think they went to a full wartime economy sometime in 1942 .I think the panther was a logical jump to make when the germans meet the t-34 .I think the germans watsed their time with the tiger,king kiger ,stum tiger ,nashorn elefant .Every time you set up a factory to produce a new tank that factory goes of line .ew

Part of the fun of playing the germans is the large varity of german tanks than were produced in .A lot of different tanks are fun to use on a computer must must have been hell to supply .If the germans had just concentrated on the pz IV would they have been able to make 50,000 of them instead of 8,000 of them 5,000 panthers, 1,500 tigers 400 King Tigers . My figures are not exact .Was the german industry if focused able to churn out the producion figures the US and Russians did by concentrating on the T-34 and Sherman ? So would the germans of been better of with more but not as potent tanks ? [ January 19, 2003, 11:23 AM: Message edited by: Hannibal ]

Read Starship troopers a long time ago .I myself have always found Hannibal and Napolean more interesting than Wellington and Scipio .

I was in a book store this week and I saw a book about German Landing gear of world war 2 .It struck me that just about every posible topic on the german military of ww2 had been covered .Osprey must have about 40 books on german troops but cover the red army in one volume . There is a look more written about the German navy than the Jappanese navy even though the japanese navy was much larger .So what is it ?Did the germans keep beter records .Is there equipment more interesting .Is evil more interesting .What do you think is the reason for the extensive coverage of the German millitary in comparsion to the other combatants ?

In the late war games what soviet tank or tank destroyer do you find most effective ?The su 100 has the best gun vs armour but has weak arnour itself . ? The Isu-122 and Isu-152 are both effecive but the lack a a turret makes them less versitile on attack .Plus they have a small ammo load out and slow load time .Is2 has best armour but has a slow load time and small ammo loadout . I think the t-34 85 is the most effective late war soviet tank .Good armour good gun lots of ammo and fast . [ January 13, 2003, 09:13 PM: Message edited by: Hannibal ]

A new patch for Hearts of Iron has come out .From what people are saying the A.I is much tougher now .

How about Starfleet Comand who ever thought they would make Star Fleet Battles for the pc

Well since it's free I will thank Tom for having the site for us to use .

I just took out two of the super stug III with two kv-2s in a quick battle . Would have thought I would have had more problems with them .

He maybe a little ,ok maybe alot kooky ,but he sure does have a nice collection .

There was a west front version called Battlegroup .I forgot wha the modernone was called .

Brummbaer and Jagdpanther are very good but also very expensive .

I have been using the isu-152 and the t-34 85 alot .The t-34 deals with the opposing armour while the isu-152 deals with infantry . What is your favorite combo? [ September 29, 2002, 12:38 PM: Message edited by: Hannibal ]

In hps's game tigers on on the prowl the t-44 was in the game and it had a 100 mm gun .From what I have read the russian made a prototype with 100 mm gun .If this tank had seen action would it have been the equal of the panther .

Thanks for the info .

I see there is a t-34 wih a 57mm gun I had not heard of this tank untill I saw it in the game .Is this tank a prototype or did it see combat?

Means your pulling my leg .Right No NKVd how will I keep my troops in line .

Doh .Took me a while to get that one

Count me in for one .What post contains the mention of the strat guide ?

I have been trying to do a quick battle with NKVD troops .I have not been able to find them in the game .Am I missing something ?

Forgot to add - Tom, I find the idea of using English voices with German/Russian accents midly offensive. That is bringing down the game to the level of 'Allo Allo'. Whats wrong with Allo Allo damn funny show [ September 24, 2002, 10:37 PM: Message edited by: Hannibal ]

Thanks for the info

Has anyone taken the Is-2 out for a spin ? I assume it is about even in fighting power with the panther and the tiger ? HOw much do you find the slow reload time and the fact that it only carries 28 rounds hurts it ?

Ok the one I was really wondering about was the IS-2 and IS-3 .How much and has anyone taken it out for a spin ?
