Comments - Sgt.Pando

Most other mods are finished, and have a larger fan base.

The only reason Wiki's are not publications is the shear size of the content. I'm sure, if wiki's wanted to become publicized they would send off sections of the information. However, wiki's plainly state that you must use your brain when using a wiki as a credible source. I've looked at each citation regarding T20 series tanks, all of them are from books.

Curious, have you read "Pershing: A History of the Medium Tank T20 Series"? It's from a writer who obtained his information from LT. Col Grey, showing lots of pictures and documentation regarding the Pershing and it's involvement during the last MONTHS, not weeks of the war.

-See this comment above. Like i said, reading must be difficult.

Wait, you're implying books are the only credible source when all of the information I've relayed, comes from books? I really wish you would use your intelligence for research instead of " you have unsubstantiated claims". I would love to know which credible historians you've consulted with regarding WW2, and the M20 series.

FYI, I own/have read the book I mentioned above which just by chance is directly related to this issue. You need to read more before making unsubstantiated claims against my person.

Today, after I awaken and fulfill my appointments. I will make it my mission to correct your lack-luster delusional view of how history happened.

Dear god, it's like speaking to a wall. Have you taken time to read where the source information comes from? First, I'm not making "unsubstantiated claims". I'm simply relaying information you're to stupid to read/comprehend. I swear, it's like cracking the cover on a book would kill you. I'll get right on asking a Historian his opinion. No thanks, i would rather read first-hand from people who were there, documenting history as it happened. I've supplied the information you've requested. It's not my fault you lack the courage of convictions to see it through.

More information - believe this is the same page i linked you before. Certainly shows more than one operation.

Here's some information for you if you're into reading.

Put it all together and remove the parentheses.

Curious, have you read "Pershing: A History of the Medium Tank T20 Series"? It's from a writer who obtained his information from LT. Col Grey, showing lots of pictures and documentation regarding the Pershing and it's involvement during the last MONTHS, not weeks of the war.

My question to you is; A. Was the Pershing in the war in 1944? If yes, why is it not in the mod? Is it because the combat it did see, however viable it was, is not significant enough to make it into a video-game mod? In the "historical" department, did they mention how many tanks were retired and no longer in service in 1944? There are more than 9 units by my count that were not reported/documented in combat in 1944 that are in this mod. Or, is this claim of historical accuracy just another puff of smoke?

I'm quite sure the information on wiki's are accurate. If that is not the case, please feel free to sign up and remove the information as not being accurate. Regardless of your opinions, your historical authenticity department needs some work. Either you're horrible at reading, or you have something against specific units.

Now, let me get this straight. You're willing to keep a King Tiger II in the game but not the M26 Pershing.

I've never been one for history, so I couldn't pull this information out of a hat. But, thanks to wiki's I've found something interesting.

The Schwere Heeres Panzer Abteilung 501 (s.H.Pz.Abt. 501) arrived on the Eastern Front with only 8 out of 45 tanks operational, mostly due to drivetrain failures. The first five Tiger IIs delivered to the Panzer-Lehr-Division broke down before they could be used in combat, and were destroyed to prevent capture.

Now, more excerpts are found throughout the King Tiger II's section relativity the same in content.

So, I've not counted the numbers yet, but i'm willing to bet more Pershing's seen viable combat than King Tiger's in WW2.

If you're willing to dispute that fact, I'm willing to do the research and prove one of us right.

It's taken me less than 3 minutes I've found where M26 variant Pershing's were recorded in combat v/s German armor. Reading is a great tool. Read the pictures and captions on the right side of the page. Also, read the "Super Pershing" section. You're welcome.

If it's 44' specific, it shouldn't include models that were hauled in production/pulled from service prior to that year.

So, I've been playing this mod with 5 other friends on a nightly basis for several months. Most of us, having lineage back to WW2 on both German/US sides we were curious why a large majority of specialized unites weren't included in the realism mod? I can go further in-depth on this question, but I'm looking for a vague answer.
