    Why don't you have another go - but perhaps stick to platforms which were built and used in WW2? :)

    BTW, were you referring to the aircraft carrier Graf von Zeppelin which was only 90% completed, but appears to have been scrapped (there are almost no records of this vessel)?

    So it was a super heavy battleship. Those crazy Axis countries. Should have just built more Uboats.

    I thought you were asking if it was a super heavy battleship, did not know if you meant H-class

    Aah! Now I know to what you were referring - the 'Schlachtschiff H' class. They were never built, and really cannot be legitimately used in this game. :mrgreen:

    But have another go. :)

    I assume you mean the Me-262, made by Messerschmitt.

    There was also the Arado 234 by Arado, but it's not iconic.

    Ok, my question.

    What was the heaviest armoured combat vehicle (you know, things like tanks, tank destroyers, etc) to see combat during WW2.

    Or to give the correct response, no, that's wrong. The Maus never saw combat.

    Ah, but I did ask for combat. The 2 Maus produced weren't a production run either, they were prototypes.

    LOL, or to put it another way - 1. You are too lazy to look up the correct spelling, and 2. You do not value accuracy. :mrgreen:

    Just look at my username.

    German tanks were called Panzerkampfwagen (Armoured combat vehicle). They had a type (an in Panzerkampfwagen III) and had variations designated by an Ausf (as in Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf E). EASY!

    OK then, the Panzerkampfwagen VI Sd.Kfz 182, also known as the King Tiger, with its 88mm gun and Henschel turret.

    Excellent! Do you know what is pointing me in the right direction with all this WW2 German armour? I used to play a PC game called Panzer III, wherein you had to familiarise yourself with German armour. So you see, despite the dire warnings and disapproval of my parents and teachers, I did benefit from all those 'wasted' midnight hours. :mrgreen:

    OK here's a dead easy one (as I have to go and do other things). What does the term 'Flak' stand for? We all know it is anti-aircraft ordinance, but what is the word for which it is a contraction?
