Quote from NukeRaider33: “Quote from MontanaBB: “Quote from NukeRaider33: “Hang on people, I've got a trick question for ya'll. ” The firearm is clearly a Thompson .45 submachine gun with a rotary clip, American designed, but I believe that it was manufactured under license in several other countries. The battle helmet is a WW1 British "Tommy" helmet which the Brits and most Commonwealth countries continued to use throughout WW2. That, however, is not definitive because the U.S. Army was still u…

Out of three options - Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia - I would have picked Lithuania and that would have been wrong. -Where do you find these, Ma'am? (At least in British Commonwealth countries Warrant Offices are addressed as Sir or Ma'am as applicable)? (Never as 'Madam' which is a title for the manager lady in a brothel)

Quote from MontanaBB: “Quote from SuomiHunajaa: “I think it would be cool to to able to group three Inf Reg with an AA unit and and Arty Reg and still be able to call it an Inf Div. ” Well, most armies did organize their infantry divisions around the equivalent of three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment (2 to 4 arty battalions), and organic companies for headquarters, signals, intelligence, engineers, etc. The Call of War naming hierarchy for unit stacks is somewhat misplaced. The presen…

Within the context of the game I don't see anything wrong with a player who is playing Germany or similar, historically Axis-allied state, naming a unit on the lines of '' SS Waffen...' or merely PzDiv Lehr or whatever, or a Russian player going with 'XX Guards...' and so on. (If I got smthng really wrong here pls give me a bit of slack - just trying to illustrate a point.) I think it would be cool to to able to group three Inf Reg with an AA unit and and Arty Reg and still be able to call it an…

Quote from freezy: “Thanks for the suggestion. We already looked into that idea and won't implement it for now due to balancing reasons. Balancing reasons as in: - aircrafts are arguably the strongest unit type in the game already. Those air strips would make them even stronger. - It would make overunning countries in a small time easier (for example during the night when you are offline), which goes against the idea of what CoW is, a strategy game that you can enjoy for a longer period of time,…

Quote from K.Rokossovski: “Quote from SuomiHunajaa: “Next question (just the model for this one). forum.callofwar.com/index.php?…3c3f23cbd8534fd6d9c9e2cbd ” A Soviet T-28. A pre-war design for an infantry support medium tank, though this concept was mostly abolished when the war actually started. Most remaining ones were lost during Barbarossa. ” Right on the money. The Finns got a few of these as booty from the Winter War. I believe they served in some capacity or other until the end of the war…

It's indeed a StuG III, variant G. (Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G )They formed the backbone of the (only) Armoured Division of the Finns.

Learn something every day. The table in the link here shows what a hotchpotch affair the Finnish armoure…
