Kitty Killers,

Throughout the war the Germans had a technical advantage over the Allies with their Zoo of armoured vehicles, the Americans tried their hardest to close this gap but all of there efforts weren't ready before there superior numbers overwhelmed the German warmachine. You can now though put down the rabid German animals with the best the Americans had to offer.
The Pershing was originally designed to take on the Tiger tank, but by the time it was ready for combat Kingtigers where roaming Europe. To combat this new threat one of the prototype Pershings was upgunned with a more powerful 90mm cannon & rushed to France for field testing. Once there armour salvaged from a destroyed Panther tank was added, which brought it on par with the Kingtiger. The crew then went looking for prey but they only knocked out one Tiger tank before the war ended.
A post war upgrade of the M26 Pershing, most of the improvements are internal tho (engine, gun, armour thickness etc), so to differentiate it from the M26 in-game I gave it a tiger stripe paint scheme, which was used during the Korean War to "scare" the enemy.
The T28 (aka T95) is probably the most unique tank built during World War II. Originally designed to breakthrough the bunkers of the Siegfried Line. It's heavy armour, impervious to any know gun at the time meant it could drive right up to the enemy's defences & blast away. The Siegfried Line was breached before it was ready tho so thoughts turned to using it in the invasion of Japan but again the war ended before it could be put to use.
PS: This is the third time I've made a vxl of this tank & I'm still not happy with it XP
The first true heavy tank design since the M6 at the beginning of the war. It was used to test several types of engine & a experimental parallax rangefinder which in theory would have given it the ability to fire accurately at long ranges but it proved to be unreliable in anything other then perfect weather conditions.
The last of the war time heavy tank designs, the T34 used the same layout as the T29/T30 but equipped with a new 120mm cannon. The experience gained from working on the T34 was later used to help design the T43/M103 heavy tank.

Bar Hummel...,

Merry Xmas all! I've got a few presents for you  A few new American units & a look at some of the maps I have been working on. The website has also been updated with a new look, most of the American & German unit pics have also been redone to to the new standardised layout.
Aerodrome:
I started this as a test for some new pavement tiles, wasn't long before I had a finished map tho.
Cross Roads:
One of the first maps I ever made for D-day, I have had to redo it every time I change the terrain so I have many versions of it, I doubt that this will be the last tho.
Close Quarters:
This map is split into four different sections each with its own theme.
Autobahn:
I was inspired to make this map after seeing this picture of an unfinished autobahn junction.
Cityscape:
This is a remake of my favourite C&C map, Cityscape from TS. I obviously made a few changes to make it fit in with a 1940's theme

Shipshape,

Staying with the naval theme from the last post I have three US destroyers, completing the set from Pre to Post war.
You might notice that the Gearing has a helicopter on it's back, it's a QH-50 Dash which is uses for ASW.

The last Tommies,
|
This is it folks the last of the British units! Well there is still the infantry to do but that's a whole other sub-project etc...
Next on the todo list is the British sidebar, I'm still brainstorming on a design tho so not sure when it will be done, so might work on some other stuff first.

Cobelligerents,

Time for something a bit different...
The 7TP was a Polish light tank based on the Vickers 6ton, they made many improvements tho that turned it into one of the best light tanks in the world at the beginning of the war. Unfortunately tho they where heavy outnumbered during the German/Soviet invasion & most where destroyed. None survived the war but a replica using many original parts & ones from other Vickers type tanks was build by the Museum of the Polish Army.
The Dutch army is often overlooked as they where not equipped with any tanks, they did however have several types of armoured cars. The M39 was the most modern of them, with sloped armour & a 37mm cannon it was comparable to a light tank of the time. When the Germans invaded tho most where still in the factory awaiting delivery. Afterwards the Germans used them against the Soviet Union where they lasted several years until all of them where destroyed. After the war the M39 was still considered to be quite modern & the Dutch government planed to restart production, but like many European countries they decided to use surplus american equipment instead.
A Post-War design by Belgium using the Loyd Carrier modified with a 90mm cannon. My knowledge of the CATI90's development is very limited so no interesting story to write here...
A tank called Bob... As war drew closer, New Zealand realized it may need to defend itself & so set too work at designing its own tank. Using the limited materials that where available they came up with a armored structure that could be quickly bolted onto an agricultural tractor. What seamed like a good idea at the time tho failed miserably, the tractors where only just able to carry the extra weight & the excessive noise/vibration made operating it difficult at best.
