Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

They are probably two Matildas, the Crusader tank and the Staghound armored car…
and of course… 15 cm sFH13/1 (Sf) auf Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper (f)

Marder I auf Lorraine Schlepper, PaK 40/1

Who are you guys, Fortune Tellers? C’mon, wait for the kid (Me) to search the web here. You two were awesome!

:smiley:
Books are useful, for research. I have a few that are not yet in storage, which is why I was able to suggest the vehicle ID so quickly.

In fact Woj is likely more correct than I. The Lorraine Schlepper had an armoured compartment in the rear of the vehicle, into which was fitted either the artillery gun as suggested by Woj, or the antitank gun as I suggested.
The compartment is the same in each case: it is only the gun and relevant fittings such as shell stowage racks that differ.

Which made the vehicle easy to identify, because that particular conversion, relocating the engine to the center of the chassis, and building the armoured compartment in the rear of the chassis, was reasonably common on several dozen Lorraine Schleppers.

Once that is known, then identifying the compartment usually leads to identifying the vehicle itself.

Kind Regards, Uyraell.

Brilliant!

Sorry for late confirmation. Had some troubles with my PC hardware and unfortunately lost all my files…

still in game… Damazy

Marvellous photo Damazy, I hope you´ll restore your files soon!

The new stuff for you, guys :slight_smile:

Looks a bit similiar to Japanese Armored Personnel Carrier Type 1 Ho-Ha.

Yes Mate, it is! :slight_smile:
Your turn

Here we go:

An Italian one.
I would suggest, it is an armored car: Autoblinda AS43 from Gruppo Corazzato “Leonessa”.

Yes indeed!

Stage is yours, Woj.

ok, try this:

LT35 as LehrPanzer, is my guess.
Basis for my thought is that several dozen LT35’s were converted variously as Morsertraeger, Munitionspanzer, or Lehrpanzer.
The bow machinegun and the visible components of the suspension system suggest LT35.

Damazy, I hope your computer troubles have been resolved.
If I’m correct with my guess, you may post a new riddle, as I’m still packing my gear to shift house.

Kind and Respectful Regards Gentlemen, Uyraell.

You’re right Uyraell, it’s indeed a Czechoslovakian vehicle, but it is no one based on LT-35 :wink:

Hi all,

Think it would be one of the Skoda’s tanks. It was named SET - Skoda
Electricky Tank. I’ve noticed that some of the sources wrongly describe
this vehicle as a SOT Skoda Obojzivelny Tank.

Hope as well I won’t have any more troubles with PC - just fingers
crossed :slight_smile: The hardware was the real problem but before tech guys fixed it two
days earlier I had been told to reinstall Windows system, so I had…
There was no chance to copy all my files before setting up the system again,
but… It shouldn’t be a big problem now. There are plenty internet
sources everywhere to improve konwledge about the WW2 stuff.

Anyway I’ll do my best and thank you for your concern, mate.

Regards,
Damazy

Correct, It is Czechoslovakian experimental light tank with electric engine.
Your stage, Damazy :slight_smile:

You’re more than welcome, Damazy, my friend :slight_smile:
I know what computer issues do to my sense of harmony…
“Blue Language” isn’t in it, so to speak…

Kind and Respectful Regards mate, Uyraell.

Woj, Thank you my friend for such an interesting series of questions, I’ve greatly enjoyed seeing them when time has permitted.

Kind and Respectful Regards my friend, Uyraell.

All right.

New stuff especially for you guys:

Best Guess, Turan 1 prototype.
Interesting viewpoint in pic.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Hi Uyraell, mate - we try to do our best :slight_smile:
It’s very nice, that you participate in the quiz.

I would say, we have here a very interesting photo of the well known Czechoslovakian light tank Skoda LT38

Unfortunately neither of the answers is correct.

Woj was much closer because this is an example of the Skoda light tanks family, but which one?
