J4SCrisZeri Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 those smoke mushrooms over the city are impressive
FlatSpinMan Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 And of course we all have a bunch of these lying around within ready access. You guys amaze and amuse me. And yes, that smoke cloud layer - terrifying.
Uufflakke Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) The website http://www.fireonthevolga.com/ does have some interesting images to show.

I think bombers would have a hard time to pick, what to hit first!
Zettman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) May I ask what is burning here? Because the smoke mushroom is so huge. Some kind of refinery industries or chemical warehouse. Thanks for your time. Zettman Edited October 15, 2013 by Zettman
Yellowsub Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Traktorenwerk Dserschinski May I ask what is burning here? Because the smoke mushroom is so huge. Some kind of refinery industries or chemical warehouse. Thanks for your time. Zettman It should be the round tanks next to the tractor factory.

Yellowsub Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) So what's the story of the "L-Shaped House"? Or is it just a landmark / point of reference. Edited October 15, 2013 by Yellowsub
=LD=Scronce Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Must have been some scary scary stuff fighting through that city.

MarcoRossolini Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Not sure if it's those oil tanks specifically but there's a story of how 62nd Army HQ (the principal army at Stalingrad) set themselves up around the oil tanks because they were believed to be empty. Of course, they were set on fire and Stalingrad Front HQ lost all communications with the army. They were signalling frantically: "where are you?" when a message came back saying: "we're where the most smoke and flames are." Imagine that cloud in game. (wrong time period of course, something for the Summer map.)

Very wise, as axis side i would have bombed them anyway just in case they were full or empty not to have them filled again. And it worked obviously.. Greetz Allons!
