Yes, they was mostly in separate Tank Regiments under Army control, several of these Tank Regiment was mixed with M4s and Valentines in the same regiment at least some time into 1944. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vergeltungswaffe Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Not to mention the eleventy billion lend lease trucks, which were far more important than the tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to "the Chieftan" the 76 mm AP round was more accurate than the 17 pdr. round at long ranges. Yeah, because the 17pdr fired an early sabot round, but if it hit at those ranges it would still penetrate.....The 76mm not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine was used very heavily by the Russians. And we are preparing a new field for modding - the Korean War and duels between the Shermans and the T34. 6 hours ago, HUSKER2142 said: How many armored vehicles should be expected under Lend-Lease, will there be a Churchill tank ? 15 hours ago, Lille Fiskerby said: Thanks BFCElvis, much appreciated and great pictures. Is there any chance to see the Valentine tank ? The Lend Lease vehicles are the 2 Shermans I posted, the Valentine pictured here and: M10 M15A1 MGMC M17 MGMC M5 M5A1 M9A1 M3A1 Jeep 2.5 Ton Truck WORD OF CAUTION!!!! : The reason that we don't put lists like this up before pre-orders open is because sometimes things change. So, if one (or more) of these vehicles isn't in the game you have been warned. Although this close to being wrapped up it is hard to imagine any of these being dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danfrodo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 fun stuff but I gotta wonder what Zhukov & friends thought when Molotov said "great news, we're getting military help from the west! British tanks!!!". I suspect they were hoping for spitfires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 1km the sabot rounds were not very accurate, the accuracy problems were sorted out not till the fifties. I have always been puzzled why the US ordnance didn't give the 76 mm Shermans HVAP ammo. Only with the APDS round has the 17 pounder better penetration. The ergonomics of the 76 mm turret on the US vehicle was superior. The other vehicle who has HVAP the Hellcat is one nifty TD in FB it tackles all German Armor very well. But use it as a TD not as a Tank. It shouldn't look for Armor but knows its fire position and its intended target and know how to exit after the engagement. Happy Gaming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize the command delays are good at representing communication delays and experience for higher up commanders. It utterly fails for lower level officers and NCOs. Since in CM you play all command levels it just do not work. Sorry to pull out a post from earlier in the thread, but this is well put. This is one of a couple of big issues that the Graviteam games suffer from. They designed a great engine, but in the name of playing at a higher tactical level, they remove fine control over individual units and add command delays. These are both good ideas but as implemented they made the game less realistic not more. AI is not advanced enough to do what you would do in the place of a soldier, squad or platoon leader, and they end up doing frustrating things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the timeframe of CMRT and the module Matildas already were out of service. Their last active usage was during Kursk battle. To the 1944 most of survived tanks were moved to training units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
