Modders and Historians.
If anyone is looking for data on Soviet(and a little German) actions/statistics, for their mod or research, let me know.
I have good access to archival material. Most fall into one of these categories: combat journals(kept "live" in units), recon reports, statistical summaries, losses. Some armor specific material, like damage analysis on friendly/enemy tanks, tank test reports, etc.
I am looking forward to publishing this material. If you can help me use this date, perhaps analyzing it together with german sources, I am looking for that too.

ahhh.....any data pertaining to Kursk.....you name it.....any data will do.....
i will start from this before i will move on to another......for years i wanted to learn about anything on the Russian front but the problem is that i don't have the material or the sources which are very reliable.......at least Ryz here has some valid and accurate ones....

No, mate, that's no way to do .
First you need to get basic info about the battle you'd like to research and then search for the specific details.
There are some very good books in English about Kursk:
David Glantz "The battle of Kursk" - overall description of the battle, good to get correct overall picture.
Niklas Zetterling "Kursk 1943. A Statistical Analysis" - awesome details for the German side.
Steven Newton "Kursk - The German view" - excellent book, but first you need to have an overall picture of that battle.
Iam pretty sure you could find all them as e-versions for free.
You know, the correct question is a half of the good answer .

thank you very much....will find them on the net or in bookstores....
you are welcome.
when you have specific questions like "what did that unit have on that or this day" or "how and when was that M-3(lt) (yeah, Stuart ) KO", i will be glad to provide you with information .
Example of some interesting data - PzVIE of M.Wittman (the future hero of V-B) was KO on June 7th, 1943 (IIRC) with 45mm APCR shell .
