second post... here we go...
I've been following the development and the posting of new images from the game. Recently I've seen people trying to "identify" certain graphics from teh units screenshot.
One of them has struck me in particular because I am a military historian and have been researching my books on the tank portraits. The identifier has mistaken the Hotchkiss tank from between WW1 and WW2 as the M4 Sherman.
The Sherman had a much larger turret, and did not have exposed treads liks this tank does. The Hotchkiss had a very small turret and the front of it's treads was semi-exposed. Also, the cupola (place where the commander sits when not engaged in combat) on the Hotchkiss tank is centraly spaced on the turret and the Sherman's cupola is located slightly to the right-side of the tank.
Keep on Civin!
