Also some M2s had bullet deflectors installed on the corners so that the sponson MGs could ricochet bullets off of them and into trenches as the tank drove along them.

The cult of the MG was filled with wiiiiiild ideas.

Pre-WW2 US army wargames came down to "Who has the most points at location X wins" and you got points for having more weapons.

So they pretty clearly built the tank like you build a custom made Battlemech - fit as many guns as you can on to each single vehicle so you can roll more d6's damage.


And always bring a ton of ammo. Per gun.

Now now, My Tank Is Fight also had the American "What if we tried to make a tank fly?" ridiculousness that existed but never really left the drawing board. The fiction was of the prototype's first test run and subsequent utter failure.

Not sure what's funnier- Girkin going off the reservation and just winging it (he should; it's good practice for good post-window times), or if this is the FSB's first open shot at the Kremlin.

Yes, they were short on engineering vehicles and demining gear, not to mention Russians started to even more heavily mine positions. All this stuff is if anything even more important for properly conducting offensives. In the meantime, Russia uses its UR-77s as ersatz missile launchers instead of doing the jobs they were supposed to do, and Ukraine has these as a priority target when they see them, along with ISDMs, which makes it even harder for Russia to eventually defend their positions the more of them get knocked out.
