I think what let the Axis side down was much more their high leadership they where idiots and forced bad decisions that their troops had to obey.The German solider,airman,sailor was very professional even at the very end of the war for the most part.

Take Stalingrad the original plan was to take the oil fields but Hitler had to take Stalingrad so he split an army to do so this was a stupid idea and cost them.You should never split your forces like this go after one target destroy it then go after the next.

Excuse my asking but how many should they have lost exactly?

Slaps knee,


Anyway enough of this let us all hear the ever so wise CaptainMattJ. He seems to be the smartest guy on subsim let us stop with our know nothingness and let him enlighten us all as to what went down in WWII.

Why would you say that. Because i gave my opinion on what wouldve happened if the U.S hadnt entered the war? I never once said you were wrong, and i never once said your speculations dont matter. im not showing off, im not acting like i know all, and im not being rude. i am highly interested in WWII, and i believe that theres truth behind some of what ive said.

Because you are not giving a fair comparison.The Soviet military and the US military where in vastly different situations during WWII. The only thing in common that we had was that both where largely unprepared for war when it came.

And I am just shinning you on a little you don't have to get so antsy.This is subsim after all dont take anything someone says to you on here too seriously.
I call things as they are if i thought you where being rude I'd say so.

@@MGR1:
I believe that it was Lenin who coined this term not 100% sure though.
Needles to say though they made a lot of gear just look at the T-34 they where like ants it did not matter how good a Tiger of Panther was because they simply got overwhelmed.
Combine that with the fact that Russian soldiers like get up close and personal in combat and you have a nasty enemy one that should never be underestimated.They just have a different philosophy towards warfare than most Western European countries do and their massive population allows for that style of fighting.

Actually you were just a little condescending here:

and there's things called airfields that are set up on land and let airplanes fly off of it.

Attempting to show a point by lecturing and talking down to people never goes over very well.
