I read the same in a book about Stalingrad.The second unit promised to Rommel, the 503rd, was to receive Porsche-Tigers, but the cancellation of production resulted in the 503rd being outfitted with 20 Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf.E and 25 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.N in November and December 1942, and first saw action in southern Russia, during the Don campaign and the withdrawal from Stalingrad.
Since the PzIII and T-70 were already supposed to be coming I understand, I say StuG III and T-60 based on the numbers of them in the battle. KV-1 would be my 3rd choice.
t-60? the 'other' greatest tank of WWII?
I think you mean Messerschmitt:airlifted there by the huge junkers
Because the 503rd saw action up there in January 1943 and because of this:With all the abundance of tanks that made an impact in WW2, why do fanbois ALWAYS bring up the Tiger, even in unlikely places (such as S'grad)?
Because the 503rd saw action up there in January 1943 and because of this:
When we add another set of tanks to the game- what tanks will they be?
Theyhave already said it'd be T-70 and PzIII. I hope after that we get StuGIII and KV-1.
Might be relevant:The 503. schwere Panzerabteilung saw action in the kalmyck steppe which is quite some miles away from stalingrad.
I think it was this although there is some question of L/42 or the much more common L/60:I've seen many say this, but I've yet to see any actual proof posted. Have I missed some dev post or something?
Actually, a lot more chance than the T70 vs a frontal Panzer IV. Look here:LordKhaine said:What chance does a Pz3 have against a T34? Pretty much none.
