I rather suspect that the game consulted the author of the Russian Battlefield site on the matter. If you potter with the scenario editor, you will find that the Panther Ausf A is listed with "occasional flaws in upper hull front", and the Ausf G with "frequent flaws in upper hull front". You will also see that the angle on the upper hull front of the IS-2 changes from 30deg for the 1943 and early 1944 models to 60deg for the main 1944 model (the so-called "IS-2m"). All the best, John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santosdiablo Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 The author of the page sais the was no IS-2m Let me ctrl c ctrl v for you The last myth I would like to resolve: today some people often call a late-war JS-2 as "JS-2m" or "JS-2M". In fact, JS-2M didn't exist whilst JS-2m appeared in 1954-56 after a serious moderinsation programm. Therefore, all war-time JS-2 tanks designatet as "JS-2" without any additional suffixes. But thanks for the replies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D Salt Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Originally posted by Santosdiablo: The author of the page sais the was no IS-2m [snips]Hence my use of the phrase "so-called". I have no doubt there are still wargamers somewhere referring to different models of T-34 as the T-34A, T34C and so on.
