Man's best friend

Dogs have been man’s best friend since times immemorial. It was still true during ww2.

Now ofc I don’t expect gaijin to model dog squads or something because peta will get upset.

But…

If, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING THE PLANE IN THE PICTURE WAS RELEASED (wink wink nod nod) it would be really, really cool to have Sally as a passenger.

If not, and I’d understand, this photo up I’d love to get as a portrait.

(Sally is beautiful and I want to pet her.)

Thanks!

There is shit tons of famous animals from WW2 which could make for fantastic pfp’s, certainly better than the AI slop we are getting atm.

Honestly Id like the dog modelled just as an easter egg of sorts in the hanger.

That’d be really cool!

Some life in the hangar.

Still… a portrait like one of those pics would really go well with a totally hypothetical premium plane release that I have no idea of

It’d be cool as well

WOT has a dog in the hanger the barks from time to time from an event. its a German shepherd and its super cute

The Soviets tried using dogs with AT mines strapped to them. They trained them to run underneath tanks in order to blow them up. The problem was that the dogs would run under any tank it could see, and usually the Soviet tanks more often than not, so the scheme was scrapped.

I was reading about that a while ago. I think they got used to how soviet tanks smelled instead of German tanks ( because they trained them on their own tanks )so when the dogs were sent out they would end up coming back to the soviet tanks and end up blowing up there

Yeah, I think that’s it. Or the sound of the engines or something. I can’t recall.

I really wonder why this wasn’t more popular, sure its cruel - but if a defending force had zero tanks on their own, this would pretty much be some sort of low tech kamikaze drone.

Because the defending sides not having much tanks historically, got swiftly and brutally beaten…

I wonder, is this dog maybe connected to a certain T-34?

in their game they had a sale for a certain t34 but the dog name was Chaffee
