They also KNOCKED OUT SOME BUNKER/ENEMY DUG-IN POSITIONS. They also provided covering fire, resulting retrieving of downed enemy "Jabo". Enemy also noticed their effectiveness against their aircraft (guessing it was because of a good success at Kuuterselkä) , and it gave some breathing room to the armoured brigade. Enemy aircrafts seemed to avoid the Landsverk II anti vehicles now. In summer -44 the unit was at Karelian isthmus, still covering Finnish armoured brigade. So they had their share of combat!</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gud Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Solution for Landsverk Anti - use Hungarian Nimrod, it's (almost) the same vehicle. I'll try to make a Finn mod for Nimrod (I have a great book on Axis Minor AFVs and some great drawings of winterized Antis). That's when (if) I get my hands on the game 'cause living in Poland is like living in Tanzania whrn it comes to software As for StuG, BTS please fix or do somefink !!!

Sergei Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 What else can we expect (fear) to find when we get the game at last ? Finnish soldiers shouting "För Svea Mamma!" when going for assault? [ September 23, 2002, 12:27 PM: Message edited by: Sergei ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-WWIIOL Player Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Pz M15/42 738(i) = Its an Italian "medium tank". i.e. a sh!tebox. Hell it would've made a good tank in 1940 but by 1942 it was seriously out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audace Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 So true, it was basically a light tank. By 1942 though the new P26/40 was to enter production, but there wasn't a single good and reliable engine in all Italy... (now I woder: couldn't we ask our german allies to give us a license for some Maybach?). Too bad it didn't enter production till 1943.

audace Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 I don't know if it was an Ansaldo design, quite surely it was. Weapons and armour came from Ansaldo in Genoa, engines and mechanical stuff from Fiat or SPA. Too bad Ferrari engines weren't born yet, and Lamborghini was producing tractors.
