Venjra ICQ 2126434 Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Hello guys. Some days ago I noticed in the movie Battle of the Bulge, that the Allied Tank was painted in Camo. Does any of you knows if that was accurate? Is there any kind of MOD for CM in wich allied tanks are cammoed? If so..will you please post a link? :confused: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Those vehicles were from the Spanish Army circa the early 1970s if I recall correctly. They were not American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapdragon Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 American tanks did get Camo, but not an "official" camo. I have black and whites of camo painted US tanks. The tanks in Patton were not, as far as I know, accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshandorf Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 "Battle of the Bulge" is just horrible on historical accuracy. IIRC the Germans are driving American tanks in that movie. As for the camo... Yeah, It might have happened here and there but in general, no, the Americans did not camo thier tanks. They did slap foliage on though... As for the winter the Americans did white wash thier tanks with some consistancy, but I suppose this would have to do with operationaal time. Considering most American tankers were always running back for antoher M4 they rarely had time to paint them.
