Commissar Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 How useful was the IS-2's rear firing MG? It doesn't seem to be something that would have a large arc of fire. I haven't noticed any other tank of any nation that has something like this. Perhaps it was more useful dismounted and placed on top of the turret at the commander's hatch. Other than The Russian Battlefield, does anyone know of a good place for Red Army equipment pics? Thanks.

Sten Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 "Fanny" is from Ella Fitzgerald. She actually gave her own fanny a name, "My fanny, Valentine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I think it's main purpose was to clear the engine deck of nasty uberhamsters intent on piddling into the engine bay, or pooping just behind the turret rear. Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
