When is a Medium tank a Heavy tank?

[Warhorse]

Fellow Grognards:

In laying out my new scenario in the Carpathian mountains I noticed that a captured German Panther tank for the Russians cannot cross a medium bridge while the German version of the Panther can.  So it's a glitch but it's a bitch of a glitch and I for one love to bitch.

I was wondering what the Soviets could do to a Panther to make it become a heavy tank?
Any rational explanation out there?
Or is it just a mistake/glitch?

Regards,

Dan

For whatever reason the Russian one is 43 tons vice 38 tons in the German oob, an oversight. Also, the flag in the movement field is the biggest culprit, prohibiting it from crossing light or medium bridges! It has a 97 in the field, it should be 33 like the rest.
