Sherman tanks debut with Red Army at Kursk


Recommended Posts

Peter Samsonov, the guy who created and runs the near priceless Tank Archive, has just released a book called Red Army Shermans. If this is a sample of what's in the book, every treadhead out there should buy a copy! If this isn't useful for CMRT, then it will be when the CM game calendar moves far enough backward to cover Kursk. Article has several pics, a map, tank recognition charts, armor protection vs KwK 40 and even one showing M4A2 (75 mm) penetration vs Tiger 1.

In the game the Shermans can shoot smoke which is a definite plus compared with the T34's. Instead of trying to eliminate the enemy unit to make it temporarily irrelevant by obscuration is at times a good alternative. Also I read somewhere once that WP was used to light up an enemy unit in combination with HE. I don't know or it is true or not anyway it is not modelled in the game.
