Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

It is a T-6

Hello, y’all!

Panther F has got it… the T6 prototype of the M4 (Sherman) medium tank series.

Your turn now, Panther F, puzzle us!

Guess this one. :mrgreen:

Presented machine is a Soviet A-20 experimental tank, photographed at some point during the trial procedure at Kubinka proving ground.

You’re right! Really, it was too easy. :roll:

Your turn Librarian!

Thank you, my dear Mr. Panther F – and yes – previously offered task surely was pretty undemanding one. That’s why we have this less known armored celebrity here with us now. Do you recognize this piece of havy metal? :slight_smile:

It’s ugly!!! Looks like a duck or something…

It looks very beutifl to me… .but people do not regard me for m beutification skills.:smiley:

My dear gentlemen - as we all do know: Tastes and colors cannot be argued. :slight_smile:

Hiya, Librarian and others!

That’s an easy one… a Morris Firefly, a Morris Light Reconnaissance Car experimentally armed with a QF 6pounder antitank gun.

You are my man, my dear Mr. Malarz Russ! Bravo – yes, it is Morris Firefly. Please, proceed. :smiley:

Hello, y’all!

Another one that is probably not too big a mystery…

Enjoy!

Churchill Infantry Tank

Partially correct, my dear Herr Major – as a matter of fact presented vehicle is so called Super Churchill, or the Black Prince (A 43 prototype, with a 17pounder as the main gun). Here you have the photo:

so i guess Librarian goes next.

Librarian’s got it!

There’s no stopping him!

You guys need to quit posting the ‘easy ones’ when I’m sleeping! :rolleyes: The last one was so easy my wife would have guessed it! :mrgreen:

It’s pretty fun though!

Well… in that case here is another easy one for you, my dear Mr. Panther F. I do hope that you are wide-awake! :slight_smile:

Errr, ummm … wide awake but I’m more of a treadhead to be exact. I know of a few armored cars but very limited in that field. Thanks for trying. :shock:

Hiya, Librarian, and y’all!

Okay, Panther F… I’ll keep that in mind next chance I get to offer a puzzler:D

As to the wheeled beasty, it’s a South African Heavy Armoured Car Mk V / Reconnaissance Car Mark VI. Sorry, my reference doesn’t really give a clue to the difference between the two, so I couldn’t really narrow it down.

See: http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/safrica/SouthAfrica.html About half way down the page.

Good night and have a great week all!
