http://ftr.wot-news.com/2015/01/24/otto-carius-passed-away/"Otto Carius was a German tanker ace of WW2, fighting on the Panzer 38t, Tiger and finally the Jagdtiger. It is estimated that during the war, Carius’ crew managed to knock out 150 enemy vehicles and many more soft targets and AT guns. He survived the fighting and after the war, he opened a pharmacy called Tiger-Apotheke, that exists to this day. He is best known for writing a book of his memories about fighting on the Tiger, called “Tigers in the mud”." Rest in peace, kinda sad to see all the veterans passing away

Hi, after ready a few creepypastas, i stumbled upon some funny ones called soviet creepypasta's Basically, they are scary stories, but with a funny soviet twist and sometimes a bit of dark humor. Just search soviet creepypasta and you will find more some ones i liked Russian man is at work alone. Copy machine begins making copies. Man did not make copies. He goes to look. Copies show him dead at desk.
He curses bad capitalist machines. Shoots copier, and begins making all copies by hand. Soviet peasant filled with burning desire to read for glory of Soviet Russia. One day peasant go to Soviet bookstore, and sees book with skull on cover.
He asks owner how much is book, and owner responds 80 rubles. However, owner tell peasant never read last page, or else doom shall fall upon him!
Peasant reads all book in one night, is dark book of capitalism about by evil man, John Deere, talking of automated machinery and air conditioned tractors, many horrors in book indeed!
Yet peasant does not read last page, for he has fear in his heart! One night it storms however, and the man is bored. He finally gathers up enough Soviet courage to read last page, dispelling superstition, for he has faith in the Party.
As soon as he reads last page, man gasps! Book originally 20 rubles! The owner was Jew! soviet parody of the monkeys paw One day, Yevdokya is visit by traveller friend. Friend say, "Dunya, I find monkey paw, with power to grant three wishes. But I have all I want in communist utoptia, so give paw to you for keeping."
When friend leave, Yevdokya, being enemy of people and anarchist, decide to make wish, testing paw. she say "Monkey paw, I wish for more food for myself" as she selfish.
The next day, KGB arrive to drag her son away, for enemy collaboration. Now Yevdokya have more bread ration for self.
Anguished for her son, even though he betrayer of worker, she wish to paw again, "Monkey paw, I wish to have my son return to me."
The next day, KGB arrive with her son. her son comply with KGB interrogation and return to implicate mother.
As KGB knock on door, Yevdokya grab monkey paw again to make final wish, "Monkey paw, I make mistake in previous wish. please make them go away."
KGB kick down door and destroy monkey paw. They say "Your son says you worship monkey god. Religion is enemy of worker. Atheism is only scientific truth."
Yevdokya then sent to labor camps for where her dangerous superstitions could not infect loyal soviet worker. She never see son or KGB again.

Hello everyone.
I decided to make this thread to make it easier to ask and get questions on World War II answered. I decided to make this thread after seeing many small history related questions scattered throughout the fourm, so why not make a thread to all of those little questions people have.
While im certainly not an expert, i and anyone else willing to contribute will try to answer questions as best as possible. They can be anything as long as its related to world war II, including things such as politics during the war, life during the war, weaponry and technology (both are my favorite!).
Right now there are no rules to asking questions right now (other than them being WWII related). so feel free to ask, and anyone who feels like they know the answer to a question is free to share their answers as well.

Us devs would like to get an opinion on what the community thinks about the OBR. right now we have noticed that it is barely used, which tells us something is wrong.
so please tell us what you think about this unit, and if you want it to be changed or replaced, please say with what or how

In order to help with crashes or other odd behavior caused by the ai, please upload the AI log files that are generated after every game
these can be found in the common folder under steamapps, usually located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
the files are named AI_LogFile. if there are multiple files, please upload all of them
Thanks Robotnik

I spoke with blackbishop today and he said i should apply for being the new AI coder I have been experimenting and working around with the ai for a little bit, and i know the basics of how the ai works and i am able to apply ai behavior to new units as well. you can see the proof of my work in this thread http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=5018.0in addition to that im also pretty good with general COH modding and .rgd editing as well, and i have created many personal mods which i have practiced with, and im not too bad with making models either
