Running with an Idea Glyn had in the military aviation thread, heres a land forces equivilent.

First Question, what was the first tank on tank battle in history?
 
Yup S2, Cambrai, it was won by the British and is still celebrated each year by the tank regiments, whereby the Officers and senior ranks wake up the troops, called gunfire, with a hot cup of tea laced with rum ,and then they serve the troops their main meal , its also a time for sports, off V troops etc etc all in fancy type dress if they wanted, and the night time festivities are rounded off with an all ranks ball, it / is/was, a day when the troops could get away with calling the officers by their Christian names, and the day in general was great fun, as i think mayhem was the order of the day, YOU WILL ENJOY YOURSELF SOLDIER, and remember the men who died so you can go and celebrate... pass the bottle opener... Rupert, sir. :)
 
uh..I did not even realize that Irondukes post was the next question, I thought it was simply a comment to the previous post^^

btw: A7V stand for Allgemeines Kriegsdepartement 7 Abteilung Vekehrswesen, which means about as much as Genereal Waroffice 7: Traffic-section , which was the office responsible for creating it.

Sorry for "stealing" the question smilingassassin I did not do it on purpose *g*

uhm, which weapon was ironiclyone of the most effective counter-meassures used by the Germans during the early time on the eastern front against the T-34 and KV-tanks?
 
Soviet 76.2mm P. obr 36 anti-tank gun. Some where mounted to German chassis with carriage still attached to make the Marder.

Or the Luftwaffe field units Flak-15 88mm guns.

Your question.
 
Sticking with big bad Soviet armor..

I am the biggest most powerful armored vehicle deployed by the Soviet Union in WW2.

yes, the 130mm B-13 naval made it the most powerful cannon ever mounted on a WW2 Soviet vehicle and 60 tons made it the heaviest to see combat.

Your question.
 
another soviet item:

I am tank..but well not really. I am not really suppossed to fight the enemy but to scare him with my look and noise..and at least one time it worked.
