Eastern Front / Re: What is the code designation who got IS-3 first?
« on: August 27, 2011, 04:15:21 AM »
I found something more:

The Osprey published 《IS-2 Heavy Tank 1944-73》,page 15,the note said "Although it has long been claimed that IS-3 saw combat in the Berlin campaogn,recently declassified Russian accounts dispute this."

On Axis History Forum

It is a subject that has been discussed more than once, but without any conclusive evidence. They did not see combat in the European theatre, but they where according to some "deployed" at the victory-parade in Berlin.
You would think, as I do, that the Soviet Union would take the opportunity to battle-test them in Manchuria, but I've never found any evidence, one way or another. So if anybody can come up with any conclusive information, I, too, would be happy.

From battlefield.ru I fond the code designation IS-3 tank regiment, 71th Independent Guards Heavy Tank Regiment,

On September 7, 1945, a united Allied military parade was held in Berlin. The parade began with infantry columns: Soviet soldiers of the 9th Rifle Corps of the 5th Shock Army, then soldiers of the French 2nd Infantry Division, Alpine troops, and Zoaves. There was a brilliant display by the British 131st Infantry Brigade. Paratroopers of the US 82nd Airborne Division brought up the rear. After a short break, a continuous mechanized column started.
The first vehicles were 32 M24 «General Chaffe» tanks and sixteen M8 APC's from the US 705th Armored Battalion, and then tanks and armored cars from the French 1st Tank Division. After that, 24 «Comet» tanks and 30 armored cars from the British 7th Armored Division. And after that... rolled 52 of the newest JS-3's! That was a complete shock for all the Allies! A combined regiment of JS-3's was formed, based on the 71st Guards Heavy Tank Regiment (this unit is remembered as having fought with first King Tigers on the Eastern Front).

This document, page 28, show me its 71th Independent Guards Heavy Tank Regiment, under 2nd Guards Tank Army command

Then from the Soviet order in Berlin Battle

I found 2nd Guards Tank Army, but no 71th Independent Guards Heavy Tank Regiment, only the 79th GHT Reg.,so now I think I can confirm this.

Eastern Front / What is the code designation who got IS-3 first?
« on: August 24, 2011, 12:06:51 PM »
I think no doubt IS-3 didn't take part in eastern front, but on wiki and battlefield.ru I got this informations:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iosif_Stalin_tank#IS-3

The IS-3 came too late to see action in World War II. Though some older sources claim that the tank saw action at the end of the war in Europe, there are no official reports to confirm this. The tank saw no action against the Germans, although one regiment may have been deployed against the Japanese in Manchuria.

The first test group of JS-3's left the factory gates in mid-May 1945. Despite western opinion (usually I hear about JS-3's seen on the streets of Vienna), JS-3 tanks weren't involved in battles on the Eastern Front. The participation of JS-3's in Far Eastern Front battles (in August 1945) is still unverified: at least one tank regiment of JS-3 tanks was sent, but Soviet combat records don't confirm any actual combat.

So it seems like this "IS-3 regiment" maybe doesn't exist. I'm wondering, which soviet troop equiped IS-3 first? And what is the code designation of the IS-3 troop in Berlin parade? Thanks! ;D

This morning, the EF Launcher fails immediately after start,and I have to disable the Auto update…… ???

For the info, so to say, there was no ethnic aspect involved in army fronts' formation. So it should probably all just be changed to "soviet".
or write the whole designation of units?

18010197   The historical German town was caught in a violent crossfire as the Soviets advanced North towards Berlin. Victory initially seemed inevitable to the Belorussians, but the Ostheer had yet to play its final hand.

18010199   The fortress island of central Königsberg represents the bloody last stand of the German forces in East Prussia. Under siege by the surrounding Belarussians, the starving Wehrmacht had no choice but to fight.
————————————————————————————————————
After checking on wiki and some other war-history websites, I found these texts contain some little mistakes. Cottbus was surrounded and captured by 1st Ukraine Front.While Königsberg was attacked by 2nd and 3rd Belorussian Front, 3rd Belorussian Front was the brunt and 2nd was the assistant. The former chinese translator translated these sentence as the two cities were surroundedby the people of Belarus.So these blur descriptions may cause translation errors.

Hallo, everybody, I'm the new chinese translator of EF.During my translating,  I found something maybe not right,and I've correct them in chinese translation. ;D
————————————————————————————
18010079       With the lethal 85mm D-5T Air Defense Gun turned tank buster, the SU-85 has the firepower to tackle enemy Heavy Tanks.

D-5T based on 52K, 52K is AA-gun but D-5T not,same as tankgun D-25T based on A-19 canon.
————————————————————————————
18010465     The colossal M-30 152mm Howitzer can be fired indirectly, even into the fog of war. Due to the immense recoil of the gun, a level, stable firing position is a must.

M-30(M1938) is 122mm,the 152mm Howitzer based on the carriage of M-30 is D-1(M-1943)

Hello guys.  ;D

I've just heard that EF team needs chinese translator. I think I can do this job, although I come from Mainland China and use Simplified Chinese, but most Traditional Chinese users can understand it, just like the Simplified Chinese users have got used to Traditional Chinese nowadays.

I'm not a rookie on translation, BK and COI use my chinese translation and now I transalte for ModernCombat team.I can finish 150 lines per hour.

Some descriptions of medals are not Chinese, there still are English.
BTW, the Chinese Translation LV is good.
this file,EF_DLC_B.English.ucs,was not translated at all.
the words "tank hall" were translated as "坦克大堂",which in chinese means "a big (public) house for tank";the word "guards" was translated as "禁卫军",which in chinese means the lifeguard of Britain,while "近卫军" in chinese means the soviet unit,and you say the translation is good?
