Now THAT is a tank.

Well, the Grant had 2 guns, one in the turret and one on the chassis, - that was the bigger one.
And the French B1 was similar as well, or?

This is a T34.  According to the plaque it fought in Austria in 1945.

It did indeed AFAIK. Vienna BTW surrendered to the Russians some days after the official end of WW2 in Europe....

In Soviet Russia, tank flys you!

And we read Russian?

And didnt the earlier T-34s look VERY different from this version? After all, look at what we have ingame...

Can't speak to that...I saw four ot five T34s, and they all looked the same to me.  All I know is the La-7 was a mockup and not a real aircraft, and the Il-2 was a real aircraft and not a mockup.  The rest of the ground equipment could have been German for all I know.  Here's a different T-34, but it looks just like the one above to me.

yep, they did look different, try www.wwiivehicles.com

in specifics, here is the T-34/76 http://www.wwiivehicles.com/ussr/tanks-medium/t-34.asp

Geeze, they're making limos out of ANYTHING these days. And I thought the Hummers were bad. 

That was Joe Stalins limo. No doubt a hot top in it somewhere in it.

IIRC, the monstrosity in the first pic was also built, Uncle Joe himself was enthused.

I believe the prototype tipped over, there to be scrapped.

Didn't Uncle Adolf also have a "Land Monitor" planned, with Scharnhorst-sized guns?

 

I've seen that picture before, it looks to me like a modeler had a couple KV-1s and a
KV-2 that he decided to play with.

     The T-34/76s didn't have that huge shell trap along the bottom of the turret.  I do have to admit
that the only T-34/85 I have seen in person had that lovely "Saving Private Ryan" Tiger makeover
