c3k Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Gents, I've got another question for BTS (or any Beta testers): are the Soviet T-37/T-38/T-40 _amphibious_ light tanks going to be included? (Approx. 3,000 total produced.) These were, of course, Soviet light reconnaisance tanks which were _amphibious_. Surely their _amphibious_ movement capabitility will be modelled. Or will we have to have some sort of uber-grog debate post release? (Note my unrelenting emphasis on the _amphibious_ nature of these tanks.) Thanks guys.

The Commissar Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Ken, Can you please provide a link about these "_amphibious_" tanks? Ive never heard of them before, so I would be very interested. Thanks, Comm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted January 25, 2002 Author Share Posted January 25, 2002 Marlow, Excellent link. Thanks. I'd have to dig deeper, but glancing at my ASL chapter H gives the production figure of approx. 2,500 combined T-37/T-38 and 220 of the T-40. (Yes, I have other sources. Given time, I could dig through them to get production figures, but I do not doubt that the ASL figures are at least in the ball-park.)

The Commissar Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Thanks for the link Marlow! Interesting stuff, although these "tanks" seem to be more like up-armored MG carriers. Still, for recon they would be perfect. Now I know where the idea for the design of the BMP came from EDIT: On second thought, it looks more like a BTR on tracks!

aka_tom_w Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Does anyone know if there has been any "official" word from BTS on amphibious capability of some vehicles in CMBB??? Its a good question? Has it been covered in the CMBB FAQ? (I don't think so) At this point it would be my GUESS that because CMBB is being written using the engine code from CMBO as the foundation, that amphibious capability will not be included in CMBB, but, I would be more than happy to be proven WRONG. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
