Núna ætla ég að byrja senda inn svona info um vehicles í leiknum, og ég ætla bara rétta að vona að þið hafið gaman af:)
<b>Amerískir Skriðdrekar</b>
<b>M10 Wolverine</b>
Lightweight and equipped with a high-powered anti-tank gun, the American M10 “Wolverine” was designed to be a tank destroyer. The M10 had mobility and long-range capacity, which made it an effective weapon as long as it stayed out of range of heavier tanks. Unfortunately, its lightweight construction made it vulnerable within range of a bigger tank such as a German Tiger.
<b>M4 Sherman</b>
The U.S. M4 Sherman was not the most powerful or most heavily armored tank on the battlefield, yet it served its purpose as a very reliable fighting machine. Because more Sherman tanks were produced than any other tank in World War II, these tanks often out-numbered enemy vehicles. The Sherman was arguably the most important tank of its time.
<b>Þýskir Skriðdrekar</b>
<b>PzKfW Mk.VI Tiger</b>
The German “Tiger” tank was heavily armored and packed a powerful punch. Initially designed in response to the success of the Russian T-34, the first Tiger tanks to come off the production lines were not very reliable. However, over time German engineers fine-tuned these battle machines, and the Tiger tank would become one of the most feared tanks in WWII.
<b>PzKfW Mk.IV Panzer</b>
The Panzer Mk. IV was a devastating force throughout World War II for the German Army. Armed with a 75-mm main gun, the Panzer provided the Germans with a powerful and mobile weapon. If the Panzer Mk. IV had one drawback it was its lack of speed for a light tank. Between 1940 and 1945, Germany produced over 8,000 of these tanks.
<b>Hanomag Sdkfz.251</b>
Though smaller than the M3 half-track, the Hanomag Sdkfz.251 had a little more speed than its American counterpart. It differed from the US half-track in that it didn’t have front-wheel drive, which meant less control in certain terrain. However, with its larger track system, the Hanomag was a superior off-road vehicle. Armory included flamethrowers and heavy artillery.
<b>Japanskir Skriðdrekar</b>
<b>Chi Ha 97</b>
The Chi-Ha light tank was no match for the Russian and U.S. tanks. At Nomonhan, Japanese troops were nearly wiped out because the Chi-Ha’s guns could not stop the enemy tanks. In response to this failure, Japan increased the armor and firepower of the Chi-Ha, but the newly unveiled U.S. M4 Sherman exceeded the capability of the updated Chi-Ha.
<b>Hanomag Sdkfz.251</b>
Though smaller than the M3 half-track, the Hanomag Sdkfz.251 had a little more speed than its American counterpart. It differed from the US half-track in that it didn’t have front-wheel drive, which meant less control in certain terrain. However, with its larger track system, the Hanomag was a superior off-road vehicle. Armory included flamethrowers and heavy artillery.
<b>SdKfz.124 Wespe</b>
First used by the Germans at Kursk, the SdKfz.124 Wespe (which translates as “Wasp”) was essentially a high-powered gun mounted on the undercarriage of an outdated tank. By fitting a howitzer on the tracks of an otherwise obsolete Panzer II tank, the Germans built a powerful support vehicle for their Panzer tank divisions.
<b>Rússneskir Skriðdrekar</b>
<b>T-34/85</b>
Improving upon the already substantial armor and armament of its predecessor, the T-34/85 was fitted with an 85-mm anti-aircraft gun. Able to travel smoothly on just about any terrain, the T-34/85 was a formidable force throughout the war. When first confronted with original T-34/85 tanks, the Germans quickly took note of its superiority to their tanks.
<b>T34/76</b>
Acknowledging the superior design of German tanks, Russia developed the T-34/76 light tank. The T-34/76 was designed to excel in armor and firepower and match its German counterparts in all ways. Although effective battlefield vehicles, Russia was unable to produce as many of these tanks as planned, so the T-34/76 never became the combat powerhouse it was intended to be.
