Neo-Nazi faction in the Metro universe

It's not truly a Panzer tank, as that armor is pretty tough to replicate, but most of the metal was probably scrap brought in by stalkers: http://metro2033.wikia.com/wiki/Stalkers

 

tbh,Ranger_of_the_new_world's point is very interesting.
In the level "Cart Chase",you can shoot the panzer with the DSKHM on your cart and you can see that you are doing no damage at all at the Panzer.Considering that the nowadays DSKHM machine gun has some penetration capabilities,the panzer has really some good armour!
Ok,assuming that the bullets are not MGR but dirty,still it has some armour.


anyway,AK-74 for life in the metro!

 

The tanks would of been probably taken from storage since not every tank has been destroyed in the wars and they might have been taken to a museum and all the Metro citizens had to do is tie it to a motor car or something and there u have it, a railcartank xD

 

Hey, if you put enough metal between you and the world it's going to stop a bullet that big. But I do agree, that armor looked very sophisticated. What I always wonder is why they modeled themselves after the Third Reich. Russians (at least the patriotic ones) HATE Germany! But yeah, I prefer the AK as well.

 

Eyy guys we getin off-topic here, just a reminder

 

Regarding nazism:
Russians don't hate Germany. The WW2 was always against the Nazism, not the German people. In any case, groups you see in the book and in the game didn't appear out of nowhere. They exist in Russia today.

Regarding Panzer:
The idea of an armored train is not exactly new. The panzer itself is just armored draizine with a machine gun on top, the likes of which have been used extensively throught history.

There is plenty of material to work with in the subway since any subway, especially the Soviet ones, are much bigger than what civilians are allowed to see. State Reserve warehouses, factories, universities, some hospitals and a lot of Civil Defence objects are connected to and are accessible from the subway.

Here's the armored train from M:LL 2011 demo BTW



EDIT: I'll ask Von Streff to move offtopic posts to a new thread regarding Nazi faction in the game.

 

I've asked Von Streff to move a few posts from a derailed thread to this one.

M2033 wiki article on the faction in question: http://metro2033.wikia.com/wiki/Fourth_Reich

 

Okay, this thread has been split in two from this point. This part is about the nazis in the metro.

The second part is about the kalash: http://www.lastlightforum.com/showthread.php?t=744&page=3

And I'll just say it here: try to keep the threads on topic, try to understand other points of view (especially if it doesn't really matter). And have a good time!

 

ok now i get it but if you think about it folks will always try and bring the past with them and if they see the past as well a stronger front then thats where some would go
with out ever understanding the past as a whole but just what they where told or have seen so you also have to look at the lack of real info they would have to start with
