BattleGroup Frontlines Mod Update

[Spawndemon]

There is a new update posted today over at the BattleGroup Frontlines mod website. Here's what they had to say about their latest vehicle:

Hello and welcome to another Battlegroup- Frontlines update today we have our fully coded and ingame KV-2 to show off.

The KV-2 heavy support tank version of the KV series was developed for the destruction of bunkers and other difficult targets in support of KV-1 tanks. It was an unwieldy machine, with a massive slab sided turret. The KV-2 was used against the Mannerheim Line in Finland and during the opening stages of the “Great Patriotic War” where it proved to be a formidable weapon when placed at strategic road junctions.

The original series production model KV-2 M-1940 model was built in very small numbers (only three). The early model had a bolted turret with a sloped frontal aspect. None survived Operation Barbarossa. The later M-1940-41 model was the definitive production model. Armed with a modernised M 1938-40 ML-20S howitzer, some 100 were built.

Why people go on about the "maus" I'll never know......Only 2 prototypes were ever built, they were never used in combat, thus untested and unproven........

The JS-3 Josef Stalin, Pershing T-25,and even the Tiger 2 were considered far superior to the excessively high and slow,clumsy KV-2.

Arguably the strongest tank of the war would have been the Jadgtiger, with 250mm of armour and a 128mm main gun........

Re: BattleGroup Frontlines Mod Update

The KV2 was heavy, thick armoured, slow and had a for the time huge main gun.. which took a long time to reload! It was also expensive in time and money to manufacture and not a lot of them produced. When the T-34 came about the KV-series of tanks saw it's grave.. and in it's place was born the JS/IS series of heavy tanks that was to mainly fulfill an infantry support role.
