 I heard rumanians also gave syphillis to a lot of Soviets, lol.
 When soviets rolled in, they captured germans with tons of
 prophylactics (spel?) in their pockets. Laughed at germans
 for being such horndogs. Within two months, tons of
 venerial casualties. Ugh. Too, in those days, it wasn't the
 lame VD we got now. I'm talking life-threatening here.

...so how would this translate in terms of gameplay?

Im sorry was there any reason for this what so ever?? If there was please tell me

 - Er, in terms of gameplay not at all. Because by the time
 this happenned, Rumania was completely knocked out of
 the war. It happenned around 2-3 months after the fall of
 the capital.
 - Any reason for say? Not per se. Just got too many books
 on the period. One being a Time collection on WW2, and
 there was a long detailed section on the topic. It's not
 combat related in any way.

 Just a historical anecdote related to Rumanians, Russians
 and WW2. Don't know much about their battle prowess, but
 I do know they were eager to share the spoils of war with
 the Germans in their drive to the East.

They have not stated what years the mod was going to take the place

[Loupblanc]

 1943-1944. That's the T34/76-T34/85 transition period.
 IS-2 is circa 1943+ (Made by Kirov industries!)

 Tiger is 1942+ / Panther is 1943+

[BurroDiablo]

Its all over the place really, I think the earliest (buildable)Tank we have is the T-70 which was 1942. The KV-2 is 1939.
The T-34/75 76 (stupid fingers) is the 1943 version; for the current Skirmish mode the 43 version is fine, but if we were going to set missions in our campaign before then we'd probably have to make a new turret (probably the 1941 version).
The IS-2 is the 1944 version with the sloped front (earlier versions have a stepped front)

[Loupblanc]

 Kirov industries made the IS2. It showed aplenty in earlier
 versions

 It's the T34/76mm BTW

 And, yessss... Please, please make a Barbarossa campaign
 with Pz-3, Pz-2 and T34/76/40

[BurroDiablo]

The 40 version was less common, about 1000 were made, compared to the 1941 version which topped out at about 9000. It would be a slightly less powerful foe though, The L-11 gun was average at best and I think it had less armour, certainly around the turret.

[Loupblanc]

 Not much difference armor wise, etc.
 The big shit about the /40 was the turret's cramped
 spacing. It's reloading was abyssal. No radio, and NO
 CROSSHAIRS!!!! Armor and gun were decent, though.

 Sure, it was crap vs Tigers, etc. But no tigers in 1940.
 Plenty of Pz2 and Pz3 and Pz4D's though BWAHAHAHA
 The T34 was a Panther compared to the oldie German tanks.
 THANK GOD for germans there were only 1000s out

 Sure 1941 turret is fine, then.  I don't have an issue
 with that.
