Garry, interesting operational perspective on effectiveness of German heavies here. My impressions is that on the tactical level German tanks' edge in superior weapony and armor protection is better exploited in the steppes, where the Russians could be observed and engaged at ranges in excess of 1,000 meters. At long range, Russian guns have ineffective penetration or insufficient range to challenge German tanks, and attempts at manueovering would be difficult due to the lack of cover. In complex terrain, inferior armed and armored Sherman tanks could use their mobility to take the Germans at the flanks or rear under the cover of hills and forests.
