Ride into Battle with Your Tank!

Panther. deadly accurate and tough to kill. i would hide from the Bolshevik air power and kill their beloved T-34s.

You sound like me Poloplayer! Maybe you would get a Joseph Stalin too.

I lure 'em out for you poloplayer15 with my Tiger I late version.
I’ll take the hits, retread about a hundred meters backward into your firerange.
Brake out from your position then Polo and we will smash them!

Who’s with us?!

Nasty! I love tanks, but it must have been horrific to be hit while in one.

The nasty result in most cases is that the crew is either torn apart by flying shreds of metal or is incinerated.  The Germans called the Shermans which the US had issued to the British Army “Tommy cookers.”

Ill join your noble quest. together we push towards Moscow! the Bolshevik scum will not know what hit them!!! Our Tigers and Panthers will lead the way to victory over the Socialists.

You forgot I will be alongside you in my Jagdpanther.
With my  L/71 88, I will keep the Heavies from getting within 2000 metres of our Schwerpunkt. The T34s will be scuttling back, reversing into each other, the crews running back to Moscow and their mummies.

It might depend on whether this is a winter or summer campaign.  From the way the Eastern Front oscillated back and forth in 1941, 1942 and 1943 – with the Germans advancing in the summers and the Russians advancing in the winters – one might almost suspect that German tanks had forward gears that operated better in hot weather and reverse gears that operated better in cold weather, with the complete opposite being true for the Russian tanks.

Never! My heroic comrades will sweep the evil fascist hordes away and avenge their violation of the holy Motherland! We will raise the Red Banner over the smouldering remains of your Panzer, and make jokes about not two of them being the same, and all of them breaking down while waiting for trucks with spare parts that got hopelessly stuck in our rasputitsa.

I’m really enjoying this nostalgic tribute to the over-the-top military exhortations that the two sides on the Eastern Front indulged in during WWII.  And each side quite often genuinely meant it.  On their way to Berlin in 1945, for example, advancing Soviet troops put a sign next to the road saying “50 KILOMETERS TO THE LAIR OF THE FASCIST BEAST.”  I think there’s a picture of it in Cornelius Ryan’s book The Last Battle.

Ok so far!

We got two Panthers (ABWorsham and Poloplayer15) alongside with a Tiger I Late (AeV) version and a Jagdpanther (wittmann) for now, against a 400 T-34 horde (not 40.000, let’s keep it a BIT realistic) and one JS II Tank (yavid) wich will coming our way in waves.
Rasputitsa is the choice of Herrn KaLeun ,but yavid’s Tank is a June 1944 modell so we will fight either near Minsk or a little later like in Rumania,Sevastopol is another choice as well as Königsberg Eastprussia, not much of a Rasputitsa anymore, lol (let us know witch Bolshevic Tank modell you choose Herr KaLeun, 8-) ).
CWO Marc take a side and a Tank modell, don’t be the writer, be the Tank rider and whoever wants to join us here!

Take your time German Gunners, every shot must be a Hit. (we don’t have that much ammo anymore)

Crush those Barbarians, Let us teach them how to swim in the Volga!

Our superior ta KS and sights will crush the waves of bolsheviks. I’ll just sit and wait. My Mg42s will bur red hot and the wall of corpses will shield my Panther from your precious T34. Meanwhile, my brothers in arms will be picking off your pathetic tanks at will. And your Is-2 will burn after our tiger takes a cracked at it

I am all for a Konigsberg battle. Heersgruppe Nord and German  Prussia cannot be left to the ungodly and unwashed Ivan.
We will hold them off until our glorious Kriegsmarine can evacuate every true German. None shall be violated while I command my Jagdpanzer!

And Marc choose a side!

If it’s gonna be Königsberg, then our Motto should be:

**KÖNIGSBERG WIR HALTEN!

WE WILL HOLD KÖNIGSBERG!**

@wittmann:

And Marc choose a side!

I already did so back on the first page of this thread.  I’m on the Western Front sitting beside my Pershing tank, doing some WWII-style multi-tasking: listening on the radio to the play-by-play description of the titanic struggle on the Eastern Front between the Commies – uh, sorry, I mean our gallant Soviet allies – and the Nah-zees, reading Bill Mauldin’s latest cartoon, drinking coffee and whistling “Mademoiselle from Armentières” to myself.

:-D :-D bahahaha  :-D :-D, I love it!
