Actually there was a series on National geographic called “tankies” or something like that that was about British and U.S. tankers (I think. Definitely british).
I recall one of the episodes where a former Crusader driver talks about how they saw Pz.IIIs approaching in the desert and just fucked off xD they were having none of those panzers that day.

You are juuust barely on the good side. Be careful how edgy you are about the wot potatoes and all that, let alone the conspiracy theories ;)
What this site now needs I think is an admin. Not a paid one, a few volunteers who have a lot of free time and are not complete nutjobs with editing and banning powers should do.

Come on SS, you know the nationalist pressure WG is under to satisfy their Russian player base. Wasn’t it SerB who said that about Russian-serving companies? It’s a little surprising how they can get away with restoring the Maus instead of some Soviet vehicle.

And as far as comment civility goes, good luck with that. :-) There are so many people on the Internet that surely it can scrounge up enough dickbags to pollute your comment section considering it is free entry. Kind of like how WoT has so many potatoes.

The 1st Guards Mechanized Corps were standardised to Lend Lease M4′s rather than T-34′s. Hence the first frame showing a tank is that of a M4.

So unlike WG US, the picture is of the right tank.

Long story short: you may use both because each award has its own ribbon. But ribbons are readable only for professionals, most people have no idea what each ribbon means. That’s why veterans wear their medals on uniform.

Several (all?) badges have two variants — one full scale for military uniform, another smaller for civilian suit. Veterans wear military uniforms and that’s the reason why they are wearing all this stuff.

Here in Serbia you get both, small Ribon and a Medal. At least it was like that from my grandmother and grandfather.

You will see tons of such medals for sale on most flee markets in the eastern bloc. Or just check e-bay for comunist era medals.
