[@vladislavshevchenko634]

With due respect for the author, the Russian civil war was between the red army, the white army, the green army and the black army. Naming just red and white is a very strong oversimplification very close to being disinformation. Also Gulag is literally translated as "main office of the department of camps". And was situated in Moscow. Actually Kursk was the second largest tank battle in history. The largest tank battle was the battle Dubno-Brody 1941whhere Soviet atmored Units tried counter attacking an attacking German Panzer group that had pierced through the Frontline at Dubno, but eventually Soviet Forces were pushed back to Brody.

[@sciencemoth8669]

its considered the 4th biggest tank battle. kursk is first.

[@vladislavshevchenko634]

@@sciencemoth8669 I have a question. Do you mean by Kursk the battle of the salient or the battle of Prohorovka which is the part of the battle of Kursk salient with the highest concentration of armored forces on both sides? Because if you mean the tank battle of Prohorovka which lasted for a few days then it featured fewer armored vehicles than Dubno- Brody, if you mean the whole battle of the Kursk salient then the amount of armored vehicles was higher, but the battle lasted for more than a month and was more like series of big battles executed by whole armies and even an army group. So the scale is barely comparable.

[@fotppd1475]

17:32 Historically British intelligence DID managed to get this information and the Soviets DID get it from them...but they did not gave it voluntarily. In fact they never intended to. (Practically the cold war had began before the end of WW2) The Soviets instead got it from one of the Cambridge Five, John Cairncross to be specific. (British spies and double agents, working from inside the British intelligence for the USSR since WW2 until the 1950's, none of which got prosecuted for spying and all 5 got away with it like champs.) Not only did he informed them of the counter-offensive but also its main targets, tactics, routes and time of execution. Thus the heavy number of mines, ditches, tank traps and many other defenses on the Soviet side. In a way you could say that the Soviets had the best intel network at the time, because not only did they have their own, but could also just take what information they need from the British as well, without them knowing.

yea i tried, but it was super cancer getting 9 dudes on a non-empty server into a stalingrad map, 90% of the servers dont run the russian maps idk why, those are my favourites

[@KleinesStein]

⁠@@DiscardPixelmost don’t run the Russian maps due to the PPSh-41 being OP for the Soviets. That thing is absolutely broken (which is relatively historical ig). Also there are certain points which are also just ridiculously one-sided (Pavlov’s house)…again historical probably but not enjoyable

@@KleinesStein I love them still

[@KleinesStein]

@@DiscardPixel oh I love them as well when I have a good German team. I was just explaining the reason why most don’t run it.

Very good video, but in the Stalingrad part I got a little bugged when I saw that there were Americans in Normandy, for people who don't know history they won't be able to understand and will be misinformed, but I understand that perhaps it was difficult to find a game to use the tactics you wanted to use, in the battle of Moscow the tank t34 are wrongly shown as they are t34/85 which was only created in 1943 when the battle takes place at the end of 1941 as well as there was also a tiger 2 which was only created in 1944 but even famous games like call of duty word at war did it wrong, in the part about the battle of Berlin you could have used the enlisted fps game which has the battle of Berlin as well as Moscow and Stalingrad, in addition to that you control a squad and can switch to the AIs that follow you 🤓🤓, otherwise the video is very well done, good work, I only commented to give suggestions for improvement if you make a future video.
