Panzerkampfwagen 6 "Tiger" axis As my vacation starts today and I feel like being generous () i present you my favourite tank, the Tiger 1! Never having seen any WW2 tank before, the Tiger was a simple beauty made out of steel. No sloped armour, just massive, angular steel. Production: 1942-1944 Number Built: 1,349 Crew: 5 Weight: 55 t Engine Ouput: 700 hp Speed on Roads: 38 km/h Armament: 88 mm KwK 36 L/56 gun 2x7,92 mm machine guns The Tiger has always been steeped in myth and legend. The Tiger is the most famous tank of World War 2. Even though it was not until 1942 that it was first used in action, its roots can be traced back to the 1930s. For that reason, the Tiger's design is quite conservative and does not yet incorporate sloping armour. It is the same characteristic German tank design that was also used for Panzers 3 and 4. (This massive piece of steel was absolutely impressive. Definitely my favourite tank by appearance!) The Tiger's armour and firepower were increased to the extreme. Tremendously thick armour was combined with and extremely effective and accurate gun. In order to realise such a system, farreaching technical solutions for the tank's interior had to be found. So even though its design was not extraordinary, the Tiger was a technically sophisicated state-of-the-art tank. It was, for that reason, a very expensive vehicle that had never been intended for mass production. Its limited range and proneness to technical failures were a permanent source of problems. The war situation prevented the Tiger from ever playing its originally intended role as a "Durchbruchwagen" (breakthrough vehicle). Rather, the Tigers had to serve as battle tanks at all the front's hot spots, where they were entirely destroyed or lost. But even though individual Tigers proved to be formidable and achieved high kill rates, their overall limited number prevented them from having a real impact on the war. The "Tiger myth" was already created during the war. Its distinctive form, the high combat power, the propaganda - all this resulted in both sides glorifying the Tiger as being invincible; while the war was still going on, and even more so when it was over.

Hey Lummel! As far as 1) is concerned, the production of the Comet has started in the late 1944, so i doubt that any of them have seen combat before 1945 in small numbers. I'm not sure about that though! 2) The listed numbers only show the numbers that have been produced during WW2! The actual numbers may be higher or even lower after the war. In: The Library |

I'd really like to see the Sd.Kfz. 234/4 "PaK Wagen" in CoH2! Either with a Pak40 or as the lighter 2cm version (maybe with Pak upgrade). I love especially those more obscure weapons that were basically cobbled together from what was left from old models and upgunned or adapted in other ways (like the Stug 3: Old Panzer 3 chassis -> high powered low profile assault gun) That would most likely be a glass canon with the damage of the Jagdpanzer 4, which role the Puma already inhabits. So, won't be implemented i think. In: The Library |

Cruiser Tank A 34 Comet brits Production: 1944-1945 Number Built: 1,186 Crew: 5 Weight: 35.7 t Engine Output: 600 hp Speed on Roads: 51 km/h Armament: 76.2 mm Ordnance QF 17-pounder gun 2x7.92 mm machine guns The Comet was the most heavily armed tank in British service during World War 2! The British pre-war doctrine had developed tanks that did not prove particularly successful in the initial phase of World War 2. Therefore, after the war had broken out, a great deal of effort was put into the development of a tank that combined armour protection, firepower and speed. The Comet was the most successful British tank of the war. After World War 2, it remained in service with the British Army until 1958 and saw combat during the Korean War. There are many saying the Comet's angular shape reminds them of the Tiger. The often expressed assumption, though, that the Tiger's design had been copied is not true. The Comet ranks with a number of optically similar British tanks from previous years that had already been looking like that before the appearance of the Tiger. In: The Library |

Sd.Kfz. 234/4 "PaK Wagen" axis Production: 1944-1945 Number Built: 88 Crew: 4 Weight: 11.5 t Engine Output: 220 hp Speed on Roads: 90 km/h (PaK on steroids!) Armament: 75 mm PaK 40 L/46 gun 7.92 mm machine gun The Sd.Kfz 234/4 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 234/4 or "Special Purpose Vehicle 234/4") was an unusual combination of scout and combat vehicle. The Sd.Kfz 234/4 was based on the Sd.Kfz 234/1, a conventional wheeled scout vehicle. This vehicle had many excellent properties: All-wheel drive, independent suspension, a diesel engine and the capability to drive in both directions at the same speed: (pre patch SU-85, lol) This was achieved by having two drivers, one forward and one reverse driver, which was ideal to get away from the enemy. (It's not a Puma, the Puma was the 234/2, which had a closed turret and a weaker 5 cm gun.) The Sd.Kfz. 234/1 had been armed with a 2 cm gun to provide some firepower for emergencies. In case of the Sd.Kfz 234/4, this was replaced by a 7.5 cm gun which pushed the load on the chassis almost to the limit of its abilities: The complete 7.5 cm antitank gun, as it is displayed in the picture above, less the wheels, was simply mounted on the vehicle. The design featured an open-topped superstructure (unlike the closed design of the Puma) which allowed merely limited gun movement. The Vehicle carried a total of only 12 rounds but was, nevertheless, apart from its original role as a scout vehicle, employed as an antitank weapon. But it proved surprisingly successfull in carrying out its odd dual role. In: The Library |

8,8 cm Flak axis The 8.8 cm Flak was particularly effective against enemy tanks. (Hooman for scale) The gun had originally been developed as an antiaircraft gun in the late 1920s and was built in three very similar variants. It was first successfully employed by the German Condor Legion in the Spanish Civil War. During the early campaigns of World War 2, the weapon proved its excellent effects against ground targets: Its big calibre and high muzzle velocity made it perfectly suited for these operations. Furthermore, the barrel could be put in a horizontal position; a characteristic that was not typical of all Flak guns. Especially during the early days of the war, the "Acht-Acht", as was its contemporary name at the time, was the only German weapon that could penetrate the frontal armour of all Allied enemy tanks. As it had brought about the decision in many battles in theatres like France, Northern Africa, and the Soviet Union, it soon developed its reputation as being a miracle weapon. The "Acht-Acht" was employed throughout all of WW2. In a modified form it was mounted in heavy German tanks such as the Tiger 1. The weapon soon became a legend both on the German and on the Allied side. To this day, the "Acht-Acht" is one of the best known weapons of World War 2. In: The Library |

Keep them coming! I hope you plan on doing an entry or 2 on the small arms/uniform section of the Museum. Actually there wasn't a small arms section in the museum (at least i didn't see one, has been removed maybe?). The pics of the uniforms are pretty bad, since the glass was reflecting too much. Maybe i will add some small arms, uniforms with infos from the interwebs, let's see how this thread develops In: The Library |
