Re: Tank turret emplacements?
I got it! Thanks Amrit. That R35 turret in the middle of the city looks peculiar. I wonder what the story is on it...I'll have to go back in a minute and read it again. It seems that of all the different turrets used, the main thing that I notice is that they are armed with low caliber cannons and machine guns. Even German turrets do not go beyond use of the PzKpfw IV though the PzKpfw II seems like the most used. I may be wrong but it looks to me like these turrets are deployed as more anti-infantry weapons than anything. I would have thought that the extremely low target offered by a turret embedded in the ground would be thought of as a superb anti-armor weapon, had bigger, more powerfully gunned turrets like the Panther and Tiger been used.
