Micheal Wittmann demonstrated what exactly a Tiger could so against Allied tanks when Monty tried to break into Caen. Wittmann's tank alone stopped the entire British division and knocked out something like 22 tanks and 14 support vehicles.

At the cost of his own life, nonetheless...

the joseph stalin series of heavy tanks for the USSR, epecially Stalin III's.  Could slug it out evenly or i think with an advantage over any heavy tank the germans had.

The problem with the IS-2 was that it wasn't as much of a threat to infantry as it was to tanks, so it was more like a Jagdpanther (or whatever it was called) than a Tiger.

I think that a 36:1 KDR is more than acceptable, myself.

Edit: The Panther could get a T-34 through the front armor from 2000m, whil the T-34 needed 500m.

Hitler came to power in an Aristocracy that happened to have democratic elements.  Not the same as a representative democracy.  Also, children going to school and shooting people is not a fault of democracy, it's a fault of bad programming done by the liberal elite.  When the situation was run by the local matriarch and taught values and facts we did not have this problem.

I find it hard to listen to you Jennifer, becaue you can't stop with the worthless attacks.

They were ten  feet high and were an easy target to hit. However, the Allies really didn't need to rely on their tanks as much.

The Wolverine couldn't destroy Tigers or Panthers, just Panzers.

Anyways, a Sherman was a Japanese G4M, like Balungloaf said (the G4M was the Japanse bomber that was used as the piece in Axis and Allie, and it was a weak airplane.) One shot and it is gone.

The Sherman was a piece of crap. It took 17 shots at 500 yards to kills a Panther, while one Panther could kill a Sherman 2000 yards away with one shot. We only one because we could make so many of them.

But it never happened...

Thank you.

Okay, thanks.

For what purpose are nouns in Spanish gender-related?

My Spanish teacher couldn't answer that.

Oil was rather important.

So the Soviets would have little, and the Germans would have had a source the Allies coudln't have bombed because they couldn't have reached it
 
Therefore, the Germans would have been more immune to the Ploeisti raids, and once the Soviets were shattered, could get around to invading Britain.

I love to build millions of dogs and send them in hordes against the enemy... especially against the townspeople! but i hate when they die and you hear that last yelp in the snow..sad..

Yeah.

So anyway, the loss of Moscow and Leningrad would have ended the Soviets because they wouldn't have been able to fight cohesively?

Saint Petersburg was a Czar's attempt to Westernize Russia.

Unfortunately, for Russia, maybe fortunately for the world, it did not spread throughout Russia.



Imagine if Russia had an army the size they did using modern (to that time period) tactics and equipment and methods and training!  Ye gads...WWII might never have happened, but the EU would be the Union of Soviet Socialized European and Asian States!


Scarey thought, huh?  Of course, it's all hypothetical.  What we know is that a Czar went to school in France and learned about the navy, fell in love with the concept of a navy and went home to build one.  Then, to house his new navy, he commissioned the building of a city, named Saint Petersburg, and it was constructed to emulate the cities of the West, where he attended school. (France I believe.  That was the cultural center of the world at the time, so even if I'm wrong and he went to Germany/Prussia or England, I'm still not totally off base.)

Yeah. Command and Conquer: Red Alert, anyone?

I'll hop on X-fire chat and bother you.

Anyways, perhaps we could play first as a team against the computers, so you can help me a little bit in improving my play.

I figured that, but considering most of the Russian factories were moved there (the line, of course, is essentially the Urals,) wouldn't they have been able to rebuild a force to attack the Germans?

Or would the Germans have burned it, but not bothered covering it?

They may have had factories in the Urals but they would have been bombed from Gorki... no oil, no foodstuffs, no way to transport materials, no man power would have led to a poor result in battle. The germans would have cut the siberian railline or allowed the Japanese to come thru to attack the other side of china and the middle east to India.

So civilized, cohesive, Russia was Europe?

You can set it up.

Anyway, tomorrow would work much better than tonight.

Anytime after five.

I don't feel like dong anything other than owning with a Battlefield 2 attack chopper tonight.

When you look at a map of Russia, and look where Moscow is, you realize the Germans really didn't capture that much of Russian land.
