are you sure i dont remember the 6 army having tigers.

Sixth Army and 4th Panzer Army did not have Tigers at the time of Stalingrad or when Paulus surrendered. The first Tiger tanks actually went into action at Leningrad and Tunisia.

there was russian sgt. confirmation of disabling tiger tank with AT gun and german notes, that Tiger are not in big numbers on Stalingrad front to breakthrough the pocket after Uranus

tbh ro2 is a sick comedy comparing to RO1 as a example. This game is a one big downgrade.

Small arms is much better in RO2. RO1 gun sprayed all over the place and weren't as well finished.

Tigers were deployed to Leningrad area, and as for records none deployed vicinity Stalingrad per unit TO&E's. Failed during Operation winter Storm in late 42, so none got even close to the city itself. So by Feb 43 the collapse of Stalingrad no Tiger i's ever made it to the city itself.

Development of game is over so you will not see a fantasy Tiger in game.

still it was near it, battle of stalingrad is not about stalingrad itself

Stalingrad is over 900 miles from Leningrad. Nothing near about that.

I don't ever understand why you talk about Leningrad

That right there is the problem, you are fixated by the Tiger, the reality of the era and places elude you. Leningrad (St Petersberg) is 900 miles away from Stalingrad, simple geography and logistics, a lot of space between the two. We talk about Leningrad because historically that's where Tigers were deployed at that time, no where near Stalingrad.

Panzerabteilung 503 was indeed at Stalingrad during Operation Winter Storm. Granted, they were there as part of the 4th Pz Army to relieve the 6th Army, but they were there.

dude, stalingrad outskirts is still a stalingrad, just like you wrote that "tigers were in Leningrad".

[IRDCAM]

Whatever makes 'Not' happy, the fact 12 Tiger I's participated in an attempted breakthrough to relive the Germans in Stalingrad over 50 miles away and across a river (Don) makes it a fact the Tiger I's were in Stalingrad. And only less than 30 days before the surrender of Stalingrad. Then he's happy and even though no Tiger's will ever appear in game as developers have dropped this title about 4 years ago, he can be happy. Tigers were on the same continent. Good enough.

Now we just need a good definition of 'there' for the record.

[IRDCAM]

Also then we will need KV-1 and KV-2's to balance the game, that's what gamers do right? Incrimentalize the 'fantasy'. We need 'balance'.

Reading ahead in Endgame at Salingrad of The Stalingrad Trilogy Vol. 3, Book 2 which is about Operation Little Saturn through to the surrender, Detcord is right (what's up man?). It was one battalion of tanks and did not arrive in theater until the end of December and was deployed in the Myshkova River area. It didn't matter as once the Italians fell, it was pretty much over (I haven't gotten to that attack in the book yet). Tigers at that time did have a habit of breaking down more often than not if I remember from other books that did feature the Pz. IV tanks.
