Default Re: Soviet Union SPOB 11 KV-1 tank-gun confusion.

There are all new KV Icons in the game for V2 so the old icons are not relavant

I will consider changing the introduction date. If I do, you understand someone ELSE will complain that since it was used it SHOULD be included

However, I found one source that says....."First production models, these tanks were prone to frequent breakdowns, but were highly resiliant to anti-tank weapons during the Winter War. These tanks were armed with the 76mm L-11 tank gun. Also called KV-1 M1939."

The line...... "but were highly resiliant to anti-tank weapons during the Winter War" indicates either that one tank was very, very busy or there were more than one. So what's your source for this "only one" info ??

EDIT. A different source says....."The prototypes of this tank first saw action while piercing the Mannerheim line during the war against Finland."

Prototypes--- indicating there were more than just one in Finland

I will make the two unit corrections. That source I quoted confirms the L-11 gun on the M1939 and the F-32 on the KV-1E M1940
