T-62A has 100mm frontal armor as well…

Plus I prefer mobility + gun than armor, especially on medium tanks.

Back to No ~ 74 to Stug – it is not odd at all IMHO. Franco ruled in Spain and he was pro German leader. Even Bf109 fought first time in Spanish civilian war. (Feel free to correct me I’m not historian)

“M107 SPG. Those SPGs, armed with 175mm funs, were purchased by the IDF in the beginning of the 1970′s.”

Aaah the typical soviet design – make the main stats on paper look competitive but make the tank a living hell for the crew. “Fuck people, especially our own ones”. Stronk. Not.

Nice Article SS and gj for giving us this info, and also thanks to contributors of this article, Brenthos and Mich_TATEJlb, thanks for sharing it.

Those Israel-is? -ites? are good on doing experiments on tanks, it’s like they can see those tanks as lego pieces and able to mix and match and stuck everything together.

I’ve sen 50 Cal and .50 Cal before, but this is a first for 0.5 Cal. It looks strange, like half a caliber.

I was hoping it could be a French tank. The American tree is already much larger than its French equivalent.

This was most impressive. I hope that WG can make a lot of new tanks from these photos. 85% of them (or so) I would love to play in game. It would add some new levels and depths to the game. I mean more variables in tanks means a more complex and fun match to play.

Eg- M4 Sherman, okay, so armor is weak here and here, such and such gun. -

Israel M4 Sherman, They buffed the armor to protect crews, meaning they need a lighter (smaller) gun. So you get a M4 with more armor/HP, but a smaller cal, faster reload. That adds a whole new layer of depth. Maybe even slower because of the extra frontal armor and so on.

I think its a great way to keep players intrigued. It gets boring fighting the SAME tank that you have to shoot in the same part over and over. “Oh look, have to shoot his lower glacis, or look, can only shoot the hatch on this one”.

Add lots of new tanks or new maps more frequently.
