Hi

A simple one:

Carro Armato Celere Sahariano, the italian cruiser-type experimental tank

Yours

tom! :wink:

And a beautiful tank it is too! :cool:

Hello, everybody!

Damn, I’m making these too easy!:mrgreen:

Tom has got it… the Italian cruiser tank. Imitiation is the sincerest form of flattery or similar problems tend to have similar solutions.

Okay Tom, puzzle us!

Easy one, german walker AT-AT, was already used in another galaxy far away a long time ago!

Used for the defence of the Normandy :smiley:
Allied fighter bombers were useless against it but naval guns shelled the thing and finaly killed it.:smiley:
full desgnation
Panzerkampfwanderer AT-AT (im) Ausf.A

I sometimes read it was helpful to tie a rope around its legs. Made them tumble…

Yeah. it also had no MGs under- a major design flaw which lead to the B type which had a better engine and MGs under. there were also submarine versions for sealion (Tauchwanderer) but was used as river-crossing troop carriers. a total of about 10 were produced. (some say 15 but Albert Speer’s “on the rd Reich” indicates 10) (3 in Normandy, 5 tauchwandrers, and the rest was usedon the eastern font except for one which surrenderd near Eagle’s nest. 3 survive today. One in Kubinka, another in the Patton museum, and the last in the Munster museum in Germany

The US reply was a Bipedal Walker gun platform desgnated BWGP-I of wich 5 were producd. Its problem was with the legs whih were thinly armoured because of reasons to do with weight. A HE round could easily blow it of making i easy prey for AT guns. Field prototypes were all destoyed in Normandy. 1 prototype remains in the Smithsonian Garber facility.

WOW!

That took all of 7 minutes for Librarian to figure out! Good thing I’m not doing this for money, or I’d starve. I’m much better at figuring these things out than trying to puzzle others… well, there goes my career in politics! :shock:

Librarian has got it… the Polish 4TP Light Tank.

Puzzle us, Librarian!

Oh, that was a pure serendipity, my dear Mr. Malarz Russ – basically I was just at the right time in the right place, that’s all! :slight_smile:

And now here is another mystery in our ongoing quiz. Do you recognize this one?

Malaruz Russ is going to own us all with this one, but it looks like a panzer38(t) with 3 instead of 4 roadwheels

or a panzerI
