Yep, that's a fair description of the Russian army in WW2, broad but fair.
Their airforce did
mount a significant bombing campaign against Germany though. I watched a
show on the
Soviet air force that said the Soviets dropped more bomb tonnage on Germany
than the combined
air forces of the US and UK. I don't have any hard figures so I can't give
source. I always felt the orks
were based on Americans. Big noisy guns that just need to be fired.
Vehicles just spilling
polution into the air. Always going to war. Showing up at just the right
and wrong times. Constant
tinkering. I thought that was an outsiders view of America. So in my mind
Orks = Americans ;)

Personally, I like the russian explanation better for figthing style, but
yours for fluff and descritption.(Orks were sort of happy-go lucky warriors
who didn't care what happend as long as
they had a good fight). I've always loved the character of the orks. They
were my first army.
