Now I had never heard of this tank before I played this game, and to me it looks just like an early T34. Well, that's perhaps not surprising because this prototype was a competitor to the T30 in Soviet army trials. In the end the T30 was accepted and became the T34 and the rest is history, as they say!

 

However, this is a smashing little scout, it's phenomenally fast and can mount a handy little automatic cannon. Sure you can' do loads of damage and you are bate for the big boys, but scouting is really fun and you can (if lucky) run rings round those lumbering giants, all the while spotting them for the rest of your team - much to their annoyance!

 

I have found that I can actually pick up a decent enough score in this scout, even it I just occasionally dink the enemy - but most of the time its all about dashing about from cover to cover exposing the enemy positions.

 

What I have started doing is to explore the different tank classes to see what they can do and at the same time build up a small range of types in my garage. In this way I can tailor my game to whomever I am playing with - as well as get a bit of welcome variety into the game. What my friends and I are trying to do is play together with roughly the same class or level of tank so that we aren't so outclassed due to the games sometimes wacky balancing - there isn't much fun in being a level III scout up against a horde of level VIII titans!

Former miliary air base in Brandenburg, built in the years preceding ww2, later used by the soviet army. The airfield is now a huge solar power facility, the buildings of the barracks are slowly dilapidating in the woods.

The Bibi-Khanum Mosque in Samarqand (1399-1404). Popularly named after Timur's wife, this is the mosque he intended to be the royal monument. Its tall projecting portal, with its flanking minarets was repeated inside in the qibla iwan. The mosque displays Timur's concern for monumental effect and theatrical arrangement.

This is the backside of the Buckner Building, in Whittier, AK. When it was built, its 270,000 square feet made it the largest building in Alaska. Called a "city under one roof", it could house a thousand people and had a cafeteria, theater, classrooms, radio station, jail, hospital and library. It took heavy damage during the Good Friday Earthquake in 1964 and fell out of use afterwards.
