T-26 used by the Finns

Sgt. Paul · 21-07-2007, 10:02 AM

According to the information I have read about the Finnish tanks, was that the largest amount were captured T-26 (in the "Continous War"). So I am a little bit curious about the facts around the T-26 tank. Was the armour so poorly as I have read (Not much thicker than a Panzer I or even an Armoured Car?)? Would appreciate some comment about the T-26. Reading a book about the Finnish wars, so some facts would settle things.

(Will also use this information in a war game to compaire stats, "Flames of War")

If would like to read:
T-26 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In my opinion T-2 was an easy victim alomost for everyone.
The main reason was the Soviet tank forces organization, then was the construction.
