Title: lend lease tanks?
Post by: 3y Gvardeyskiy Mechanized on July 22, 2009, 06:29:37 PM

Are any lend lease tanks going to be included in this mod? There were many soviet corps (for example the 3rd guards mechanized ;)) equipped with lend lease m4a2 sherman emcha tanks and mark iii (valentine viii) tanks. It could be a doctrine ability.

I think this has already been mentioned on the forums before.

And the answer is no, why use existing tanks when we can have our own Soviet made ones  ;)

exactly, the soviets detested the american and british tanks: they called the grant: coffin for seven brothers

the fact is that lend lease tanks had an overplayed role: lend lease trucks were the most important aspect of the lend lease operation, not tanks

The Katyusha is built on a lend-lease Studebaker chassis, but that is as far as it goes.

Lend lease vehicles would make us look lazy :P Scruff made some Lend Lease skins, but I highly doubt we'll ever use them.
