I am not sure if you know the definition of “Partisan”:
A partisan is a member of a domestic irregular military force formed to oppose control of an area by a foreign power or by an army of occupation by some kind of insurgent activity.
I am actually wondering why gaijin is glorifying such expressions - the tern refers to irregular warfare which is (depending on which news you consume and in which couuntry you live) in today’s view on things either a freedom/resistance fighter or a terrorist.
I am quite sure there are way less problematic expressions painted on T-34s. Maybe worth to think about at the 85th anniversary or next victory day event.
As the supplies by the US kept the USSR alive in their very critical phase '42-43 you might consider to choose a Lend-Lease vehicle usable in both trees (player can choose his version) for similar events.
Actually, it’s the 9th because it was May 9th in Moscow when the war ended, but May 8th most everywhere else in Europe and North America. The official end of the war in Europe was set to 00:01 May 9th, Moscow time, or 23:01 May 8th, Berlin time. The surrender was signed earlier but it was a situation where fighting was only ordered to stop at a later designated time, to streamline the surrender process.
The tank’s name is fine, you just need to know the peculiarities of how Russians perceive such words. Here the word “Partizan” has a deeply positive meaning.
What’s really wrong is the snail’s fixation on certain iconic vehicles in relation to May 9. Just another T-34 copy-paste with some decorations. It’s easy to lose count trying to count all of its variants in the game.
On the other hand, it’s good: I’m not too worried that I won’t be able to get it. If it were a unique vehicle, it would be much more offensive.
i meant THE orignal victory parade in berlin. The only reason the IS3 is famous and what lead to the western insane designs like M103 and FV4005 out of panic
This is so weird too because we have these quotes from Stalin and then Khrushchev saying that without the US’s support (in one way or another), they would’ve lost the war. So it does seem odd there hasnt been a US tank, at least not recently), for this particular event.
I mean we have the apartheid flag on proud display on SA vehicles statcards and german ww2 units logos which were very much nazis so its not off limits for controversial modern ensigns, including the Z.
the one you’re calling neofascist is also just a St George ribbon. The same St George who is the patron saint of my country so id rather you refrain from such insults
