Published and slightly redacted by: Silentstalker

Today, we have a guest article here by Vikto Kitov about the IS-7. Enjoy!

In the spring of 1944 after  lifting the siege of Leningrad at the Kirov plant which was partially destroyed, it was decided to manufacture the ISU-152 self-propelled artillery. Tank designers were returning to the Experimental Plant № 100, after the evacuation. The leader of the team was chosen to be J. Kotin. Under his leadership, the development of a new heavy tank which was to be well armed and heavily heavy armored. Itreceived the factory designation “Object 260”, and later – the index “IS-7”

 Official 8.5 english tank descriptions

The official leaked english descriptions of the 8.5 vehicles. I think that considering the 8.5 patch notes leak and the fact this blog is now officially banned on the EU forums, it hardly matters anymore. Also, as for the DW2 description – as far as I know, that tank was not tested, so I have no idea what is it doing there.

Excelsior
At the end of 1942, the Churchill tank’s armament was deemed insufficient. New tanks, the A31, A32, and A33 were developed as new infantry tanks. The A33 was developed by the English Electric Company. The LMS Company participated in the development of suspension for a new tank. Two vehicles, which differed greatly from each other, were manufactured. The A33 was set to go into production, but in 1943 the decision to cancel mass production of the Churchill was reversed, and the order for the A33 was not placed.

Sexton I
In 1943 the Montreal Locomotive Works started mass production of the Sexton SPG, developed on the basis of RAM II. A total of 2150 vehicles were produced by 1945, of which 125 were designated the Sexton I.

Edit: to “smart” people thinking this is an April’s fool – republished it, it’s after midning here, no – it’s a serious article. Happy?
Hello everyone,

one of the iconic vehicles of the Third Reich and the testament to Dr. Porsche’s ingenuity is the Maus, mostly because it is (and probably always will be) the heaviest tank ever built. Most people know the vehicle itself, but there are other (less known) vehicles (in two cases derivates, in one case a different vehicle) bearing the name Maus. Let’s have a look at them.

Sources I’ll be using: H.Doyle: Panzer Tracts (20-1, 6-3)

VK7201 PART DEUX

回复

Mar 27, 2013

Hello everyone,best of to react before this gets out of hand 🙂 In the morning, I published an article “VK7201 – fake or not“, where I wrote about the history of the VK7201. I expected some more outrage, but instead, some people just took it.

Without further ado: I made the thing up.

Well, not totally everything – I mean, the general part about the Lowe tank is true, even the Spielberger’s book exists, but there was never any such a thing as “Feldhaubitze auf Infanterieunterstützungfahrgestell” – I made the name “Failowe” up too.

回复

Well, this is a bit odd. Someone, writing as anonymous, wrote a comment under the recent daily translation that he hates me because I am arrogant, but that he’s going to share this anyway (the post ended up in spam folder).

This is NOT confirmed, keep that in mind, some items are… suspicious.

 List of changes in 0.8.5 version in comparison with version 0.8.4:– added new German research tree branch, Medium and Light tanks:
VK 2001 DB (tier 4 MT)
VK 3002 DB v1 (tier 6 MT)
Indien Panzer (tier 8 MT)
Prototype der Arbeitsgruppe A (tier 9 MT)
Leopard 1 (tier 10 MT)
Aufklarerpanzer Panther (tier 7 LT)

– Added new Soviet Light tank branch:
T-60 (tier 2 LT) T-70 (tier 3 LT) T-80 (tier 4 LT)

So yea, the Indienpanzer will follow after the VK3002DB, which is getting renamed to VK3002(D).Also, here’s the preview of the 8.5 German tree
