soviet tanks

hello, i would just like to ask why all the tanks look like they are barbie-cars with guns attached. All the tanks are way too small when compared to german tanks and the infantry, why are they so small?

Well the Russian did have to make a lot of them, maybe they have to use resources to make the tanks sparingly to get the mos they could.

Re: soviet tanks

You're joking right? Relic oversized some of the German Tanks. The Soviet Tanks are actually made to scale (the ones that aren't model mixed)

Re: soviet tanks

the tanks look brilliant and they look accurate and are to scale the soviets didn't care for looks they just wanted something that could be rolled onto the field in their thousands within a short period of time

Re: soviet tanks

Part of it is Russian tanks really are smaller than German ones. Russians had the smallest tanks in the war, Germans had the biggest, so there's gonna be some size disparity. For example, the IS2 was only about the weight of a panther and it actually had a smaller frontal profile (width x height), and the T34 was a very small tank too. Even now Russian tanks are a good deal smaller than US and American ones (fun fact: the t90 weighs almost exactly as much as a IS2 while the M1 abrams and Leopard 2 are closer to king tiger weight).
