I was looking through pics of different Churchills and ran across this beauty

Is this the same version that RES uses?

So the British Lend Leased Churchills too?

Yeah. Despite their low speed, the Soviets kinda liked them, although they tended to replace the gun with their own M42's afaik, which it looks like that model has (definitely doesn't look like a QF 6lber)

No, it's not the same Churchill as in Royal Engineers. That model is an MkIII, Brits have MkIV's (different turret).

Smells like. Victory.

First thing that came to mind:

QuoteOh my god, Churchill with a Cromwell turret! :o

Although it is quite different, it does look kind of like a Cromwells...

I was surprised to see the brits give the Sovs anything considering they didnt like eachother :o. Come to think of it I did see Soviet Bren Carriers before so i guess its not that wierd.

Well, i think defeating Hitler was their priority at the time. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." ;)

What i would like to know is, how did they ship them there? ??? I guess they would have to go through America to Russia? :-\

There were two ways. First of all the "Persian Corridor", leading through what today is Iran and Iraq, using roads and railroad routes into the southern Soviet Union, they came to Persia with guarded ship convoys.
The second route was indeed from the North American continent over the Bering Sea to East Russia.

Look at Soviet tanks from the early-mid 30s. (For that Soviets paid) Most are British designs (same goes for Japans capital ship navy) :P. But the most interesting thing is that they didnt have enough money to equip their own army in those things.

The British even designed a tank just for the Soviets, the Valentine.

and the easiest way - convoys from British Isles to Murmansk, on Scandinavian Peninsula. Dangerous route ( u-boots, German airforce and hevy battleships)

Considering the amount of Lend Lease tanks and vehicles the Sovs had Im starting to think the In Game faction would benefit from a Lend Lease sub-Doctorine, like when then they had the M4/76s or whatever. But thats a whole other discussion.

Valentine tanks were called Montys Staghounds becouse they chased Rommel across Africa. They were realiable enough to do so - unlike Crusaders.
