mscano Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I just noticed that there are no T-28s in the russian oob. Just wondering why? They were pretty numerous in 1941, but were pretty much wiped out by the end of the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Rommel Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Because the T28 was a multi-turret AFV and the game engine can't handle a multi-turret vehicle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demoss Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Weren't the secondary turrets MG-only, though? I'm pretty sure there's a T-26 with two MG turrets in the game, and it seems the T-28 could be modeled (well, faked) the same way. The T-35, well, that's a different story, and while I'd like to see it, it didn't see much action anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchildstein (ii) Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 that would be a good idea; showing the mg turrets but not having them function; at least it would allow for the t-28 to be in the game. it appears as though it generally had one of 2 types of 76mm gun, and by 1941 most if not all were up-armored to 80mm frontal. that would be - even without functioning mg turrets - a decent opponent for germans in those early war scenarios. the one with the 'L-10 gun' in particular would have been fairly tough; a 76.2mm 'L/26' at 555 meters per second muzzle velocity. http://www.battlefield.ru/t28.html perhaps beyond the multi-turret issue, one key reason they were left out of cmbb was their mechanical unreliability. perhaps the majority of them were abandoned en route rather than destroyed in actual combat. the web page referenced above states that most all of them were destroyed within the first 2 months, but some of them fought on into 1943 (leningrad front) and were at the battle of moscow (1941). i would agree though that it would be worth it to see them modelled, even with non-functioning mg turrets. but that will probably have to wait for the new engine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Plus only about 500 were ever built - making it a very rare vehicle in the grander scheme of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No figures handy, but I suspect that's significantly less rare than, say, the KV-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchildstein (ii) Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 the t-28 may have figured fairly prominently in the 'dubno' battles against panzer group 1 in the 'ukraine' in june, 1941. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
