Congrats! I'm about to reach 500 points today. Bought Dark Horse Bundle two days ago and since I got 5 old Comic tanks, payed only 2300 for Kraft's Pz IVH. That is a great deal for tank, crew with unique skill, Ace Op (300k silver and day of PT), 5 garage slots and 1 bonus point for each game with at least one point during Dream Op. My estimate is this alone will get me 600-ish points alone during 25 days long Op, so this tank will get me another one (or two) premium tanks as prize in Dream Op.
The 13. (Tiger) Kompanie, of Panzer Regiment Großdeutschland, reported on the performance of the 88 mm KwK 36 L/56, when their Tigers engaged the T-34: "First round hits were usually achieved at ranges between 800 to 1,000 meters. At these ranges, the Panzer Granate (they are referring to the PzGr. 39 APCBC ammunition) absolutely penetrated through the frontal armor, and usually still destroyed the engine at the rear of the T-34 tank. In 80 percent of the cases, shots from the same range hitting the side of the hull toward the rear of the tank resulted in the fuel tanks exploding. Even at ranges of 1,500 meters and longer, during favorable weather, it is possible to succeed in penetrating the T-34 with minimal expenditure of ammunition" (JENTZ, Thomas L.; Germany's TIGER Tanks - Tiger I and II: Combat Tactics; op. cit.).
3 MoE tanks: T-34, Pz IVH, Tiger I, Pz.Kpfw. T 25, M7, T-50
