Wol Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 G'day all, I am just anxious that the T35s in the game (hopefully both major 'production' versions) will have the correct number of mgs. Including AA mg they should have 7. I was heartbroken that ASL ommited the co-axial mgs in the 45mm sub turrets. Whgen I am counterattacking around Dubno against the green german inf (minus all AT guns), I expect my surviving behemoths to expend some of all that mg ammunition aka "Tanks in retreat" and Merestekovs remarks.

Michael Emrys Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Sorry, mate, the T-35 is not going to be in the game this time around. The game engine can't handle multiple gun turrets. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Waaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Oh well I suppose late model T28E will have to do - but it is not the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 T-28 models are not in either, for the same reason. The current game engine can't handle multi-turreted AFVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Sorry bud - no multi-turrets in the game. What was that Ami tank - the Grant? - it's out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Well, Wol, there is always the M3 Grant/Lee. But it won't be in the game either for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denizen Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 I can understand the omission of the t35 and Lee/Grant, but why the T28? Its axuliary turrets have mgs only, and we all know that flexible mg mounts were in CMBO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pad152 Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 No T28's, T35's, Lee/Grants? I still want to see list of vehicles before I buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalingrd Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 What the Sturm Tiger isn't good enough for all you eh? C'mon lets count our blessings. If I remember correctly there will be 300+ AFV's - So I don't want to hear a peep from the back of this car or we're all driving home with no CMBB!!

gatpr Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 There is that, but I really like those land battleship dohickeys. I think I'll still play tho'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 I think that the T28 was probably the most significant soviet AFV in the Finnish campaign and early months of Bararossa. It was not new, powerfully armed, (and later versions very heavily armed and armoured), It equipped some of the longest standing and most experienced of the new mechanised corps, and was probably far more successful than the T-34 and KV. As I recall over 500 built too. So I hope it makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Originally posted by Wol: was probably far more successful than the T-34 and KV.:confused: Well, depends on how you rate success. T-28 certainly was more useful than T-35, and in Finnish army it was the only heavy tank. In 1941 it was, however, considered obsolete. Of course, so was T-26. But it's a matter of programming those multi-turreted buggers. Maybe some sort of compromise could be found - the game can handle backwards facing machineguns at the moment, as well as flexible mounts. But as in simulating T-28 or T-35, I don't think so.

From what I have read they suffered major losses to the Finnish ani-tank guns ,and the Finnish soldiers nick named the tank "The Mail Train". I guess suggesting thats all it was usefull for. I am aware of the T-28C that had increased frontal armor, from what I've read those were few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Yes, I was looking forward to the T-28 as well. Good infantry support system in the early war period. Not to worry though, CMBB has surpassed any Wargame I have ever played, including CMBO by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
