I'm not a WW1 fan...

Speed ​​is a key factor in the success of a military operation.

That's why it is essential that all weapon systems are at the right time at right place.

If one of them does not follow, the rhythm is broken.

The first to reach/occupy objectives is favored.

I did some tests yesterday and I think I'm gonna remplace my T-34/85s by IS-3s.

The protection is good and, with their AT ammos, they can destroy any NATO tanks.

I have to plan a good logistic to reammo them...

Thank you,

Come the 70's when ATGMs start to show up on the battlefield I think you'll find out that while speed and tanks have their uses the classic armored steamroller becomes more suicidal then successful. But since you're in the 40's enjoy it while you can.
