disguised as a German Tiger II "King Tiger". This one isn't as well done as the T-34's as Tiger I's. |

I find this funny because...here's what Otto Carius said of his first IS-2 encounter... "After Kerscher had closed on me, he radioed and pointed to the right. A "Stalin" tank was broadside to us next to a barn. It was a vehicle we hadn't yet seen in the Northern Sector of the front. We were startled for a moment, becase the tank was outfitted with an extremely long 122-mm cannon. This was the first Russian tank cannon with a muzzle brake. Moreover, the "Stalin" tank looked somewhat similar in it's shape to our "King Tiger." After I initially hesitated, just as Kerscher did, it occured to me immediately that only the running gear was typically Russian. I fired and the tank burst into flames. After this short disgression, we finished off all of Ivan's vehicles in the village, just as we had arranged earlier. Kerscher and I later had to laugh because we had thought for a moment that we had had a "KIng Tiger" in front of us that had been captured by the Russians. In the heat of battle, however, such things could sometimes come to pass." |

This tank actually portrayed the Panther, because episode 1 took place in Kursk and no King Tigers served in Kursk. Maybe it portrayed the King Tiger in later episodes. |

Yes, a Panther is more likely. Plus, in spite of twice the armour and a 122mm gun, the IS-2 was slightly smaller than the Panther! |
