  1. awsome ...just awsome ...I love the Ferdinand ...one of my favs. Thanks Aris
  2. Aris these panthers are incredible ...just incredible. By any chance would it be possible if you can post the Ferdinand (elefant) notwithstanding it has that defect - so all can look having the same weathering pls. I personally don't mind that small defect - who would notice a small scratch in a massive diamond
  3. Took a break from CM - now I was viewing the forums and guess what ... ARIS IS BACK welcome back Aris the Magnificent ....now I can order Gustav Line Nice mods Silk
  4. My only hope is that Aris is back with his mods for Gustav aaaaaah what an ideal world it would be
  5. First he was designed to be a breakthrough tank based on Guderian's concepts elaborated in the late 1920s/early 1930s. Third it never was deployed in numbers to play the main role. The main role was assigned to the standard medium tanks Pz. IV and Panther as they formed the core of all operations. EXACTLY
  6. This is Doctor Gebbels propaganda I think. How we can check this score? When a person decides to call another names and ignores the subject in question - then certainly my ignore button starts blinking. Pity, and, since I am a gentleman, I shall ignore what you are implying. Follow what the scholarly Winkelried wrote and you would certainly get the figures you require.
  7. KILL CHART: Otto Carius 150+ Walter Shroif 160+ Kurt Krispel 168+ Joannes Bolter 139+ Michael Wittman 138+ Many Tiger Units achieved an average kill ration of 10:1 some others even rated at 14:1 -although this was not enouph to match allied production. I dont recall any tank commanders reaching that level of supremacy on the battlefield against the german army.
  8. 2) First time Tigers was appeared under Leningrad, You asked for the first offensive - Kasserine Pass. They appeared first in Leningrad (unfinished) but they where offensively used in capable numbers in Kasserine Pass
  9. 'Do you know about Tiger-1 repairability? He was very heavy, always have problem with transmission and running gear. It was very difficult to evacuate this monster form field if your tank was damaged(needs 2 tractors and 1 Pz4 tank), it was very difficult to repair tracks on field (need loading crane), it was very difficult to transfer Tiger battalion, because to transport Tiger you need special railway platforms and you need change battle tracks on transport tracks and take off outward rollers, for this you need 48 hours. Tiger was nightmare for German surround services))) Panther was better but with similar problems, Germans have no time to fix all bugs in Panther. Germans should be build more Pz4 tanks and don't waste time and money on Tigers.' Railway tracks in Russia differred from those in Europe - this posed a difficulty to the germans on a much wider scale. 'I don't remember any successful offensive operation with Tiger.' My god ...the first time they appeared - Kasserine Pass Get your history books out matey
  10. 'Tiger tanks and others german monsters are great subject. There are many myths around them but they were rather bad tanks. It's a paradox. They were winning battles in very spectacular way but they were also loosing for germans war in same spectacular way They were operationally useless.' I beg to differ because a 101 AARs can prove this statement incorrect. Yes 'The Bocage' was not their ideal combat terrain but stating the above is ...........
  11. Go for the aspect ration first and foremost - get a 1920x1200 monitor if possible - best size imo. As for BenQ montiors - they are good monitors and had some really good models. I have a Samsung and its OK - I am very hapy with it If I had to go for a monitor I would certainly go for a Samsung, Viewsonic or BenQ.
  12. we will sorely miss you matey - but you deserve everything especially a break mate
  13. Why are you complaining Streety, Britain took for itself the Marshall Aid which should have gone to its colonies one of which suffered a much tougher blitz then that experienced by the English during the war. Malta - the only Nation which was awarded the George Cross for the bravery and suffering it had to go through had its Marshall Aid taken by England giving nothing in return. And this not to mention the thousands of historical artifacts such as the prized bronze cannons left in the Maltese Islands by the Knights of Malta which are today brazenly displayed at the Tower of London - I leave it up to your imagination how they ended there !! Oh, and by the way, in Malta war damages can still be seen until today, unrepaired !!!!! bahh
  14. A happy Xmas and a prosperous new year to you all and to everyone at Battlefront. Thanks for an extraordinary year.
