Mercury Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Check out this passage from p71 of "Citadel: The Battle of Kursk." by Robin Cross. "A tank crew member from the 6th Panzer Division wrote: "We had one advantage - mobility. They were like a herd of buffalo which does not have the freedom of movement enjoyed by the leopards which prowl around the flanks of the herd - and we were the leopards." Recalling the tank battles of 1942, a German staff officer was highly critical of the tactical ineptitude and mulishness of Soviet armoured formations: "In tight masses they groped around the main battle; they moved hesitantly and without any plan. They got in each other's way, they blundered against our anti-tank guns, or, after penetrating our front, they did nothing to exploit their advantage and stood inactive and idle. Those were the days when isolated german anti-tank guns...would shoot up and knock out more than 30 tanks an hour." Does that sound just like the AIs armour tactics or what? BTS must have it spot on!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
