Can the T-34 even penetrate the Tiger's front plate? I thought it was immune to their fire, even at point-blank range?<br /><br />His large force will probably be quite unweildy so using the smoke to screen parts of it off, then beat it piecemeal with the F2s should work pretty well. I really like the 75mm gun they used. The upgraded Panzer IVs were such nice tanks.Koronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250234754318025124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-73800584012044469562012-02-22T15:55:17.562-05:002012-02-22T15:55:17.562-05:00Oh, boy....da Russians are coming.
