Hey you stole my next poll!

I voted US too.

Germany has been a long time favorite, but I'm warming up to the kit of the US and USSR. Britain has always given me fits. I never know how to translate the gun sizes (2 pounder, 6 pounder, etc.) I wouldn't mind some tips when playing them though. I'm trying to branch out.

Germany all the way.

I have a soft spot for German armor. Can’t help it

The ‘pounder’ or Pdr was just a reference to the projectile weight.

These are the main ones you should know:


Anti-tank/tank guns

2 Pdr (40mm) Early war (as good as many 4.7cm guns)

6 Pdr (57mm) Mid war (better than many 75mm guns)

17 Pdr (76.2mm) Late war (as good as German 88mm)


Light Artillery

25 Pdr (87.6mm) Throughout war (versatile field gun with HEAT AT ability)


Tips

The 2 Pdr and 6 Pdr don’t have very good HE capacity, but had good rates of fire, and excellent AP ability when they first come out. But towards the end of their ‘shelf life’ they have trouble with German armour.

The usefulness of these guns can be extended by purchasing units with sabot rounds, or longer barrels, when they become available.

The 25 Pdr is a decent piece of kit. Good for indirect or direct fire, and can be used in an AT role until the 6 Pdr becomes available. Then use it as field artillery with secondary AT role if needed.

Hope this helps,

I'll play around with all sorts of stuff, but Soviet, German, Brit, French and American are the faves.
For minor powers, Finland.

If I had to pick one, I guess I'd go with soviets but it depends on mood

Despite my vote for Germany, It really sometimes boils down to my mood and or what I'm studing in more detail. I've been playing a lot of Russian of late and it makes for a challange, especially when you really have to get the German mindset out of your head to get them to perform on the battlefeild.

Bob out

Finland in early 40 would be good game play as they gave the Russian Bear some rough handling.

1. Germany
2. USSR
3. Great Britain
4. Italy
5. Japan
Dead last. USA

I have seen way too many documentaries and read far too much about US war involvement to have any interest in playing them. Their starting the war off so late too, doesn't help matters any.
