Ostfront 41-45, nice title but from what I have seen we are cheating ourselves out of at least the first 3 years on most servers. Most of the map designs run on servers include tanks that didn't appear until the very end of the war like the JS2.
Did you guys know that the reason there is no real good tank actions for 1939-40 is because the majority and almost entirety of the German tank force was made up of PZ1 tanks which had one or two machineguns and no cannons for killing enemy tanks?
By 1941 the Germans had managed to equip many Panzer divisions with new Panzer III and IV tanks but they were still a minority against the Czek 35 and 38 models and the older PZ IIs still in service.
By 1942 and 43 the PZ IIs were still around, the PZ III was now the predominate model available, the PZ IV was showing up in reasonable numbers, and the Tiger was in service in special Heavy Tank Brigades. The Panther's debute was Kursk, July 4, 1943.
We need alot less maps full of Tigers, Panthers, T-34/85s, KV-1Ss, JS2s, etc, and alot more maps with the older lighter model vehicles.
