You were asked – TMP link What percentage of your painted WWII German vehicles are in panzer gray? Average response: 36.96% |

The two most common responses among those who had any Panzer Gray vehicles, were 30% and 50% which somehow fails to surprise. Might be interesting to ask the same question about Dunkelgelb, or desert camo. I bet the results would be similar. |

I expect many players are attracted to WW2 because of the big cats and those weren't grey. Shame though, early war stuff is actually cooler. |

and they were actually "Panzer" grey (forgive our spelling) and brown patches in reality. Weird I know and I was never convinced, but I am now. The early war German stuff was not a patch on the best (stress best) British/French armour. It was just much better employed, plus they did not expect one poor eejet to command the tank, aim the gun, load the thing, fire it etc….. |

German tanks were more poorly armed and armored than early war enemies in many cases but communication (both internal and external) was better and the tactical doctrine for the Germans was better than everybody else's. Still, reading the casualty rates for German armor in 39-41 was a real eye opener. |

" they were actually DunkelGrau and Dunkelbraun patches in reality." Only till July 1940 after then , till Feb 1943 they were all over DunkelGrau .
