No tank simulation would be complete without tanks and other assorted vehicles in which to engage in battle with. There are around 100 different vehicles that you can command and destroy, which is a rather impressive number, especially considering that the game just covers land battles. This is one of the most reable features of Panzer Elite: Special Edition, although most of the tanks behave in very similar manners, and the interior views are exactly the same (the outside views are different, however). On top of these, we have a comprehensive scenario and landscape editor, where you can make your own battles. With enough game modes to satisfy each kind of player, and a sufficient amount of tanks available for your driving/annihilating pleasure, the features in Panzer Elite: Special Edition are above the norm.
WWII Battle Tanks T-34 Vs Tiger PC.rar
Not surprisingly photos of this are very rare although I did come across one in a book which I now can't find. At Stalingrad and Leningrad T34 tanks were driven unpainted and without gun sights into battle by factory workers. Whether they fought in them or handed them over to soviet crews I'm not sure of. Not all Russian tanks had red oxide applied under the green paint which was frequently applied straight onto bare metal. I figured that in this case the red oxide helps to differentiate the T34 from the grey axis tanks.
