interesting WWII photos

[Orle]

Found this when i was skulking around wiki reading about tanks If wiki can be trusted on this, its a ISU-152-2, a version of the ISU-152 made to be a pure tankhunter.

Me likey 

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

Yep, it as only a prototype though

It had a long barreled version of the 152mm howitzer, but there were problems with the guns stability and quality, and the war ended before these problems could be fixed

Yeah, the cannon had barrel reliability issues right

anyway found some more pics

First one is of a stock ISU-122 i think, looks late-war.


the other pic is another ISU-122 but it has a longer cannon, guess its another prototype. (its a ISU-130, thanks Robotnik, wasnt sure what it was^^)

[neosdark]

Robotnik I've been meaning to ask you, have you any pictures of a MP40/I in combat or at least in a soldiers hands?

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

MP40/I?
Not MP40/II?

The second one is the ISU-130. it mounted a 130mm naval cannon, similar to the one mounted on the SU100Y which saw limited service, Though it looks very similar to the ISU122S

No i don not unfortunately

I'm surprised you aren't aware of this Rommel, but since there was no first modification for the MP40, then the MP40/II is a misnomer, perhaps a reference to the dual magazines. Its official name is the MP40/I.

Oh that truly sucks, I've been meaning to get one for my Powerpoint

[Gerrit 'Lord Rommel' G.]

I asked because there were a MP40/I (a prototype) and a MP40/II (used in combat).
Unfortunately my computer is broken so i cant search for a pic in my datas.

[neosdark]

I'm fairly sure, as I (and my source) have pointed out, that the weapon I'm referring to is the MP40/I (the MP40 with dual magazines)

[neosdark]

Would any one have any picture of the M26 Pershing in combat?

Also anyone have any pictures of a Jagdpanther in combat that aren't easily found by a Google search?

[Sommarkatze]

Aint that famous video recording from a real battle during the end of the war where they take out a Panther having a Pershing in it?

Thats a Pershing alright.

[neosdark]

Well I mean something other than that one XD

I've certainly seen this video Sommar

EDIT: Something interesting I found while running about on the WoT Wikia:

[Riggsman]

Yesterday I have visited the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow and came up nice and huge photo exhibition of Stalingrad Siege. There were a lot of rare and very interesting photos taken from Wehrmacht and Soviet Archieves including Freelancer photographers who were there at that time. I have taken these photos by Mobile phone so don't expect high quality. Hope you enjoy.
