I have no idea what that beast is. I would say its Russian because those are German soldiers looking it over.

I truly believe in my heart they know all this stuff. It's up to you to believe. Believe Paige, Believe. I was a weak individual and decided to cheat. I'm ashamed.

As to who's ride it is, I can tell from the markings next to the hull MG that this tank bears the markings of the 502nd Heavy Panzer Bn. I know they had one of the highest scoring tank aces of the war serving in their battalion but for the life of my I cannot remember his name.


Thank you for the kind words. I knew the commander when I built it but have since forgotten who it was. I was hoping you could tell me.

I haven't cheated any. But then again, I haven't gotten many right either.

Don't worry about her or the other troll. This thread irritates them so they have to lash out every so often. I guess downvoting everything just does not cut it for them sometimes.

anyway, back on track....

Hmmm. I can tell it's a variant of the P-38. That tells me this aircraft was built by Lockheed. The fact I don't recognize it tells me it was never mass produced so I'm going to guess it was only experimental. That's all I've got.

Appears to have upgraded engines and some sort of radome on top. Maybe some kind or early radar warning aircraft?

That's the French Char 2C tank. She was introduced in the early 20's and was basically a slow moving pillbox. She represented the thinking of that time that tanks were meant to support the infantry and help them break through instead of creating a breakthrough all by themselves. I believe they still hold the record form being the largest operational tank in history.
