As any number of (other) third-world countries could tell you, merely having some fancy natural resources in your territory amounts to jackshit by itself.

Or to give an inverse example, Japan is one of the richest countries in the world and basically boasts diddly squat thereof.

Russia are No.1, and USA not even in the top 10. LOL.

From what I was told at the Citadel it was a WWII LVT w/ 75mm howitzer. On Wiki the only one that fit that description was the LVT 4

The americans have a lot of “fresh air” museums as well, where the stuff just rots away.

Also people whined a lot about T34 (it was a damn hard grind, I didn’t went through it…just got the T34), but I heard it was much more fun to play than now. Also T30 vs Maus, E-100 and IS-7 was deemed underpowered by lots and lots of players.

That valentine doesn’t look like it’s in bad shape. And if you think all tanks look as good as these, check out Aberdeen proving grounds. They just paint the tank white and put it out to rust.
The more tanks a place has, the harder and expensiver it is to keep them all in shape.
