tank classifications
 

maybe someone can fill in the blanks on this i tried but didn't see anything i could say was set in stone

what is the classifcation on the KV-1.......Heavy?.......or........Medium?
T-34.............'...........or........'
Pershing.....'..............or........'
Panther G...'..............or........'

just seems like nobody has had a conclusion of yes thats what these are so these are the rules just want to be correct in setting my DBU it is only on 5 hits a medium tank setting and if i get another system i will have the answer for the settings on those as well if you want to add other tanks to this list feel free to do so i just listed what i have

Thanks Everyone

Duringt ww2 you mean? KV would be heavy. Pershing also heavy T-34 medium. The panther g I believe is classified as heavy, but not 100% on that one.

i guess that's what everyone is going by for the IR battles i just want to have mine on the right setting i'm using the KV-1

RE: tank classifications
 

Yep, heavy is the one you want. 9 hits brother!

RE: tank classifications
 

Looked it up, the Panther was classified as a medium tank.

thank you Yellowshaker your KV-2 looks great you matched up the turret nicely
and those welds look cool

RE: tank classifications
 

is that because of the lack of armour they had like you talked about

RE: tank classifications
 

The Germans considered the Panther as a medium tank, but in IR battles it is a HEAVY. :D

"The range of average effective armor is based on historical classification of key tanks for the 1944-45 period. Class Width/Thickness
Heavy 80mm or more
Medium 42 to 79.999mm
Light 5 to 41.999mm"
