FW200

BTW, interesting to know that the Soviets were working on new tanks during world war 2 as well, since they were not happy with the T-34..

This is the prototype of the T-44-122 alongside a captured Panther, during trials in 1944:

965 T-44A tanks got built during world war 2 (25 during 1944 and 950 in 1945), The T-44A being similar to the one above but with the ZiS-S-5, the same 85mm cannon the T-34/85 got.

The first T-54 prototype also was designed in later '44, with the first prototype built in february of '45... So like all countries the Soviets steamed ahead as well

Our group is going again this year and atleast on the reenactor area they made a layout now. So every group has his/her plot and if you have anything left it will go to a smaller group.

Which is a big improvement over last few years "well is this spot ok for you guys?, I'm sorry the rest is allready taken".

some russian stuff (even worse at this)

 

 

These are:

PT-76

T-34/85

T-55

Ferret

CVRT

T72

Ural 4320 or a fifth wheel Kraz maybe..

A saladin would be lovely but prices are a bit high at the moment

Well from that list I'd vote for the T-72.. (Though if someone would restore the ZSU-23-4 from Duxford that would be nice too)

The one at W&P this year:

T-72M1 or ZSU-23-4.. The 2nd is hard to find, but would be an unique piece..

ZPU-2.. Twin 14.5mm KPVT's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZPU

I will be shooting footage as well, so if you need some of that just let me know.

So far our group has about 16-18 people.. Bit more than last year!

With people from the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, France, Sweden and the USA

These are some video's from a youtube user, which seem to show these armoured vehicles before being put on a train and driven away to be shredded/sold. The last muscle flexing of a once powerfull army I suppose.

This one is called "The last round", BMP being driven around at the trainyard.

This one is T-72 on the road, and shows what it says on the tin

Then 2 about T-55 and starting it:

Racing around, BMP, BTR

This one is called "Recovering scrap at Prora", and it shows them removing T-34 targets using a T-55 recovery variant.

This one is "Last day of the BMP-2 at Prora" and shows around the workshop and one of the few BMP-2's the NVA had.

This one is called "We also had something on wheels" and shows a BTR being driven hard

And the last is T-72 in Prora, shows T-72 being moved and the workshop.

Definatly worth watching them

These posts were 4 years old :shocked:

What kind of cameras are we talking about? Motion, still, video?

ZU-23-2 would be nice :-D

Another option:

If you want to "do" the OT then - we're usually in the Americas field, about 200 yds down on the left from the bridge. I'm assuming we'll still be there this year.

Mind you - hard to miss an OT-90 there, its usually the only one on the entire site!!

I think it's in the reenactment field is it not?

Lovely :-D How do you like the MT-LB so far?

The Russians drop their BMD's with crew in them:

As a fellow video guy I'm always interested what equipment others use So what's your preference?

We need pics of your MT-LB :-D

Try to use the macro setting on your camera, it will help focus on small nearby objects

Nice bumping at 1:00

Warsaw pact armour is so nice :-D Small, fast, nimble, reliable, noisy, cramped.. Great!

Seems like a standard chicom chest rig. As the name says probably chinese but they have been made locally in quite a few countries.

I desaturated it a bit too much.

Something like that? Sorry I went a bit fast on the photoshop, took the doors with me (And I can't find hires pics of the version in the 2nd picture...)
