The 5th Mechanized Corps, later 9th Guards Mech. Corps, was the Red Army's most experienced user of M4A2 tanks. Their review of the tanks contains positive notes, but also complaints, mostly about the tank's reliability and its gun. https://t.co/7K4AMKkZHz #tanks #history #ww2
Finished a very on brand kit: the new Zvezda T-34. Tried winter camo again, I think it worked better than last time.
The T-44 was a tough nut to crack, however the thickness of the armour plates made welding difficult. After several nonpenetrating shots from Soviet 85 mm 52-K and German 88 mm Pak 43 guns the lower front plate fell off. https://t.co/AqIDFfhQ75
The USSR realized the potential of portable rocket launchers early on, but implementing the idea was difficult. Attempts to fire 82 mm rockets from a launcher mounted on an M-72 motorcycle made 78 years ago yielded poor results. https://t.co/JeLNfu1Q85
