2-ya Gvard. Tankovy Korpus

 is a Soviet Armored division in Steel Division II. Breaking through the German front at Orsha with the 11th Guards Army, 2nd Guards Tank Corps is the paragon of Soviet technology, having been almost entirely reequipped with brand new T-34/85 just for Bagration.

The handful of remaining older models (T-70 or T-34/76) are relegated to recon or command roles. Also well-doted in anti-tank and attached fire support (SU-76, ISU-152, …), its sole weakness lies with its anti-air defence, even with some lend-leased American AA halftracks or the Free French 'Normandie' squadron flying overhead.

Very strong in tanks and artillery, it is the Soviet sledgehammer.
