I've been enjoying playing this game, but I want to take my knowledge of vehicles, armor and guns a step further. I would really like to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each.

I want to start with tanks. In the battle of berlin mod, I see a lot of Soviet tanks and their names start with GV. However, I was looking at this site, and I don't see this tank anywhere

http://www.onwar.com/tanks/ussr/index.htm

Could anyone give me a good site with information on German and Soviet tanks?

thanks

Gv is russian, means that they belong to a Guards unit Wink

Im sure of that Dima can explains this but i think a Sovjet unit (division, army aso) units were awarded Guards status after distinguishing themselves in service, and are considered to have elite status.
