A nice cup of tea while I play as the Russians. From what I understand, the Russians are almost as fanatical about thier tea as the Brits are.
Then a hot steaming mug of espresso as I give the Italian equipment a try.

"Imagine the face of your PBEM opponent as a horde of B IV's approaches his positions..."
LOL! It would be like being attacked by those "spanked" up junkies with explosives around their chests in GTA3.
"What time is it? Oh yeah...HALF PAST TNT!"

"Yah, as opposed to the US, where the leaders of big business...have ties to ALL the political parties (eg Enron donating chunks of cash to Repbublicans AND Democrats)."
I would file this under the case of: "Those who fail to learn history...repeat themselves?"

"Anyone else just a little aprehensive about taking the axis side?"
Heck, now it will be a joy again to play Allied! Finlly some tanks that are just about equal with their German counterparts*. Then again I look forward to the German challanges in the early war years too. 37mm armed PZIII vs. KV-1!
*If you are Russian and was to kill lots of German tanks you can use the T-34/85, SU-100, JSU-122, JSU-152, and BS-3 AT gun. If you are American and want to kill lots of german tanks, you can use the T-26 Pershing, and...and...um...uh...did I mention the Pershing?
-
"Actually what would be the effect of a 122 or 152mm HE round hitting a Tiger?"
I imagine the concussion effects would be horrific to say the least. If not out right killed the crew would be shocked, deaf, and disorented for a good while.
"Enemy tank! 500 meters!"
"What!?"
"I said, Enemy Tank 500 meters!"
"What!?"
"I SAID ENEMY TANK 500 METERS!!!"
"Huh? I can't hear you! But I just wanted you to know that I spotted an enemy tank at 500 meters!"

Of course I can't find the book now, but I did read of an encounter between JS-2's and KT's during the Russian Spring offensive during 1945. The Germans launched a local counter attack lead by KT's. They proptly ran into an equal number of JS-2. The battle ended with a draw, both sides lost a few tanks and the Germans were forced to retreat.
-
I'm still waiting for a JS-2 vs King Tiger battle myself.

Here's a bunch of allied tanks (Shermans and Fireflys included) in German service.
-
"Did the Germans ever capture Shermans and use those, or were they looked down upon and considered too weak/lame/ un-uber?"
I remember seeing a pic of a captured Sherman Firefly in German service. I imagine they put all captured tanks to good use. Heck, they were still using captured French tanks from 1940 during the Normandy invasion.

Don't forget that Soviet Tanks could stand up much better to the harsh Russian winters than their German counter-parts.
(Didn't some Soviet tanks have special motors that could be turned over and started with compressed air when it was really cold? I heard about that feature once on the SU-76, from what I understand, the Soviet crews loved it.)

Pavlov must have caught footage from a Berkley or Harvard political rally again:See above for reason number 4633 why the USA is a political and intellectual backwater, and down right moronic to boot.[/qb]
"Communisim can work if we just give it a chance!"
"Besides making us the worlds top Military, Political, and Economic superpower, what good has capitalisim done for America?"
I suppose if I lived in a forgien country and saw a bunch of Americans claiming that Pol-Pot and Yasser Arafat were "Freedom-Fighters" I'd think they were all a bunch of morons too.
-
True, but in Nazi Germany at any rate, all large buisness owners were members or had ties to the Nazi party. Kind of like how Socalisim says that the means of production belong to the people, but the Government (with the people's best interests in mind of courseOriginally posted by Andrew Hedges:The State doesn't own businesses under fascism, and there is private property under fascism as well.
) manages it for them.
-
Because technically Facisim, Communisim, and Socalisim are three seperate political ideals.
Of course, the old Nippster here still beleives Ludwig Von Miss when he says that all three are the same (No civil right, State ownership of Business, and no private property)
-
Oh like you never fiddled around with the Senario editor in CM:BO and had a bunch of H-39s go up against one or two T-26 Pershings.Originally posted by Mike:Hey Nippy brining other equpment into the battle is not fair!!
-
Provided the R-35 can even load it's main gun before another tank or AT gun takes it out. Most french tanks could only manage about 4-6 rounds a minutes, plus the Gunner/Loader/Commander/ had to move his eye away from the sights to relaod the main gun. One man turrets are a real Bizotch.Originally posted by Mike:...and even their silly little 37 will KO a Pak 36 long before the Pak can KO them!!
Wait till that R-35 runs into its first KV or T-34:D
-
Yes they did. They also used Somua-35's, Char B1 Bis's and the R35/H39 series.
In CM:BO you got to use captured H-39 (Long Barrel version). The H-39 was just a light and faster version of the R-35.
As for the R-35 in your pics, yes they really do suck. A whopping 13 MPH and a short barrel 37mm gun that makes a PAK-36 look like an 88.

Just as long as it doesn't sound like the Stuka out of WWII Online:
"Oh no! The Germans are dropping sick cats on us!"
Now the Stuka Siren out IL2 Sturmavic, that's another story. I love that sound!

"These brew up problems crop up again in T-62 and T-72 variants as well"
Soveit tank design priorites:
1st Mobility
2nd Fire power
Survivability be damned!

"Fair is fair, lets sterotype each side evenly, now, kiddies."
Don't forget the Sake for the Kamikazi pilots. From what I understand, less "willing" pilots were given a few stiff drinks and had the canopy on their plane bolted shut.

I thought their mothers didn't allow them to run with pitchforks. If the conscripted farmers can run with pitchforks then BF.C has made an egregious historical error.Originally posted by chrisl:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Nippy:

"Is this the Soviet type of suck?"

It even extends to other Americans. Living in the south, most west-coasters have asked me about this. (and a rather virulent rumor about shoelessness in the public education system, but that's another story)

"Ten reasons why it is just and fitting that the Europeans have to wait!"
I have just one reason. They have all the Armor museams! They have display tanks and Arty peices every 15 feet! Dear God, don't get me started on Bovington *drool*
And what do we Amercians have? A few rusting relics wasting away out in an open field. Oh that's right, after 9/11 they closed up Aberdeen and now you can't even get in! :mad: :mad: :mad:
