I thinkthe vast majority of Soviet tanks in the early months of Barbarossa were T-26,28,35,60,70, BTs etc.The T-34s, if I remember correctly, did not appear until October 1941 and there were just a handful of KV1s at that time.
Campaign will play in the early weeks of Barbarossa when KV and T-34 were rare.
Campaign will play in the early weeks of Barbarossa when KV and T-34 were rare. It will be playable from the german side and you are driving a Panzer III
but i might switch to Panzer IV later in the campaign. You will be part of the Panzergruppe 2 (Guderian) XXXXVII Pz.K. and cross the Bug river near Brest-Litowsk and will have to fight the Bialystok pocket . Marching over Slonim - Sluzk - Minsk and cross the Beresina.
Ok, you've stepped on my ground.
Here's the map:
6th mechanized corps in Bialystok area was the most powerful one. It had over 1000 tanks -
238 of those were T-34 and 114 were KV (also 416 BT, 126 T-26, 127 other types). Corps moved from Bialystok to Grodno area (many vehicles were lost during march) and clashed with 256 infantry division (3 Stug III, 88 and 150 mm guns) and 162 infantry division. Then remains of the corps retreated by the end of June to Slonim area where they, disorganized,
fought with forces of 2. Panzergruppe (29th motorized division confirmed, German tanks also confirmed).
Some photos of KV of 6th corps here:
http://imf.forum24.ru/?1-9-0-00000056-000-0-013th mechanized corps had
244 T-26, 15 BT and 16 T-38 and was destroyed in battles with 9th army corps.
14th mechanized corps of 4th Army was stationed in Brest area and had
528 T-26, 6 BT and 10 T-38.
That was the one 2. Panzergruppe clashed with. By 29th June remains of the corps retreated to Beresina river.
17th mechanized corps (in the process of formation) had
24 BT, 1 T-26 and 11 T-38.
Also
11th mechanized corps in Grodno area had
3 KV, 28 T-34, 44 BT and 141 T-26. This one fought against tanks of 3. Panzergruppe.
That was about Soviet tanks in this region.
Now about Wehrmacht tank divisions:
There were 2 panzerdivisions (17th and 18th) in 47th motorized corps and 2 (3rd and 4th) in 24th motorized corps of 2. Panzergruppe.
17th panzerdivision had 44 Pz.II, 106 Pz.III, 30 Pz.IV.
18th panzerdivision had 50 Pz.II, 99 Pz.III (37 mm), 15 Pz.III (50 mm), 36 Pz.IV.
3rd panzerdivision had 44 Pz.II, 106 Pz.III, 30 Pz.IV.
4th panzerdivision had 50 Pz.II, 99 Pz.III (37 mm), 15 Pz.III (50 mm), 36 Pz.IV.
Now the main problem. Pz. III J which we have in SF, did not participate in Barbarossa campaign, because it was put in production later. In summer offensive participated Pz. III of G and H model and those have some noticeabe differences from J model - like shorter hull, different rear and bolted armor.
