Phantom Captain

That's a scary picture with that Panther out in the open. Those Russian tanks only need one hit to KO the Panthers. They are slow but pack a huge punch. I tried hard to sneak around and watch from cover and hull down. Even then....

Yeah, that version is call RDM - Angriff (adapted by @nightops:

You may have played a different version of this scenario, because I'm 100% sure that the tanks I'm facing are T-34/85! I was more than surprised to see their incredible performance against my Panzer-wonders. Particularly because in the previous PBEM, I played T-34/76 against Panzer IV  — and the T-34 were no match at all! (this was in "Hill 621 Redux", which is as bad a scenario as "Angriff" is a good one — even though I might be the losing side in both cases in the end…).

Nice movie…
Even though I don't understand the second T-34 movement at 0:20. After backing off to relative safety he moves forward again offering his flank to a known enemy, with no apparent overwatch?!
It could have been me doing such a silly thing, but this time I swear it was not…😄

@Vacillator @Phantom Captain
Thank you both for the kind words.
It was a battle some while ago. But it was in this one that I learnt to really respect the T34/85.
Though I won this battle in the end I had some difficulties there. The 75mm canon of the Panzer IV often deflected of the armor or had shown no effect on the T´s. And even shots of the Panther bounced of more regularily than I have anticipated. Truth be told those were mostly hits with odd angles on the turretsides but it gave me the creeps none the less. 
 

@Phantom Captain: In the end, it´s a leisurely evening walk .... like I said 😜

Awesome!  It looked like that Panther was in a perfect hull down ambush spot!  Very cool video.
In one of my battles with @FlammenwerferX he had a JS-2 in a hull down spot just like that but further back on a ridge and I stupidly moved a Tiger and a Panther directly across his line of fire with my sides utterly exposed, one after the other, and both ended up burning wrecks at the end of the turn. 

Yeah great work @Brille.  Dare I say your video highlights what a great game this is?  Of course viewers may not get that unless they play it themselves.

A VERY BRIEF encounter.
I know @FlammenwerferX has a PzIV on overwatch in a field beyond a woodlot and across a lake and he's been throwing HE into my SMG troops in the woodlot (who have their hands full with the German soldiers they have encountered in the woods) and causing me some pain.  Earlier one of my T-34/85s got hit and one of the crew killed but the survivors dismounted, went and took a lie down and then got brave and hopped back into their machine.  I immediately tasked them with trying to take care of this problem.
Racing across a field behind the woodlot, my tank spots the "thorn in my side" PzIV.

However, FlammewerferX's tank spots me at the same time.  Both tanks level their guns.

My crew fires!  And you may not notice but if you look closely you can see the puff of smoke around the PzIV as both tanks fire at each simultaneously!

Incredibly both Soviet and German tank round pass each other in flight.

Mutual destruction as both tanks destroy each other at the same time.
