    My ass. It usually takes me about 3-4 hours to get to get to 1939.

    Haven't been playing since release. In fact have only started playing in mid 2020.
    Still have 3k hours though. The game simply consumes time itself.

    Actually the vast majority of the 2C tanks were scuttled because they were too difficult to transport to the frontline and they had a lot of mechanical problems. There was only one of the ten 2Cs that was captured because the explosive charges did not explode.
