Time for more tanks! Above you see two in-game models of Panzer IV Aufs. D and Char B1 bis. Tell us which tank/panzer you like more and why.

Here's the small description of each tank.

Panzer IV Aufs. D

The best variant of Panzer IV medium tank that was used in the early stages of the war (up to the invasion of Soviet Union in June 1941). It had a low-velocity 75mm gun and two MG34 machine guns. Panzer IVD gun was not well suited against British tanks during the invasion of France, as it had difficulty penetrating the armor of Matilda II tanks. The main advantage of IVD was speed, as it was faster than its British and French counterparts, better organization, and radios that were implemented in the tanks.

Char B1 bis

French heavy tank manufactured before World War II. Char B1 was a specialized break-through vehicle, originally conceived with a self-propelled gun with a 75 mm howitzer in the hull. The Char B1 bis was an upgraded variant with thicker armor and a longer-barreled 47 mm gun, to give the tank a real anti-tank capacity. It was produced from April 1937 to June 1940. The Char B1 served with the armored divisions of the infantry, which were highly specialized offensive units, to breakthrough fortified positions. Its 75 mm gun could easily penetrate the armor of German tanks, even Panzer IV’s. Still, it was a very complex tank and required careful maintenance. Another problem was the requirement of a well-trained crew, which the French lacked at the beginning of the war.

Which tank do you like and why? Below you see our two in-game models.

Panzer IIIJ:

The most common version of Panzer III which saw fighting in Russia and North Africa. It was equipped with a short-barreled 50mm gun. They fared well in fighting against British Crusader cruiser and US-supplied M3 Stuart light tanks, although they did less effective against heavily armored Matilda II tanks. The production stopped in 1942.

T34:

Standard Soviet medium tank in the first part of the war (until the production of T-34/85). The T-34 had well-sloped armor, a relatively powerful engine, wide tracks, and a powerful 76.2mm gun. It is often called T-34/76. During the winters the T-34 had a marked advantage over German tanks through its ability to move over deep mud or snow. T-34 was superior to any tank Germans had in service at the beginning of the war and German Panzer V Panther was designed to counter it. It is considered by many to be the best tank design of WW2.

Another Winter screenshot to help you fight this year's hot Summer. See those Soviet troops in the forest? They are invisible! At least they think so. Wait for the Germany player to make a move...

Please, enjoy the freezing wind and snowed mountain peaks while it is hot Summer outside! This is one of the screenshots for our Bruderkampf map. Here you can see more terrain and fewer units.

Welcome to the new chapter of our History Blog. The previous blog covered Joseph Stalin and the Soviet Union before the start of the WWII, as well as how costly it was for Ukraine and other countries to withstand the collectivization. In the new blog, we take a look at pre-war Britain and Winston Churchill.
