Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

Next best guess : LT 35 Protoype.
LT38 had a flat turret roof, the early LT35 had a sloped turret roof, iIrc.

Regarding the Electric-engined tank, earlier. Small question, but wasn’t that chassis modified from an LT35 originally?

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

…because it is in fact the Slovakian light tank Skoda vz.40. Originally based on LT-38, an export version of this tank for Latvia.
The main optical difference to LT-38 was the turret shape.
You led me up the garden path, mate. I was right, Damazy, when I said you´re a fox :smiley:

But look at the number plate of this Slovakian LT-38 and compare it with the number plate from Damazy´s photo :-o

Hi.

The pic is a nice find.

Hi,

Woj, You are absolutely right, this is Praga LT40 planned for Latvia but used by Slovakia.

Because this is actually one of the Slovakian LT-40s.

Honestly, I’m not quite sure. I’ll have a look - just give me more time.

@tom!
There is one more quiz waiting for you.

I´m not sure too, but I suggest that the Skoda SET was a plumb new experimental chassis development.

Time for my question:

#1006

Think it can be an Italian Carro Armato P 40 or Panzerkampfwagen P40 737(i) what is even more correct because of German markings.

#1007

Obviously was not much difficult :wink:
Well done, correct!

#1008

Hello, Lads.

Here you are:

Hi,
I´ve never seen this photo…
But I suppose, it could be an US T2 Combat Car - the prototype of the wheel-and-track light tank.
Here the rear view - ready to go as a car.
Planned and built by Rock Island Arsenal in 1931.

#1010

Dunno why, but the vehicle in the pic has a very different suspension from the T-2 pics I’ve seen. Could be that its a slightly later version.

#1011

Front view:


[sorry for bad quality - can’t do anything about it]

Hint: soviet stuff.

I say it’s a Soviet T-19 Medium Tank. It’s a pre-war Soviet Tank and was so inconsistent.

#1013

I’m thinking T37 light amphibious tank, second prototype.
However, I have no reliable illustrations from which to draw conclusions.

Kind Regards my friends, Uyraell.

#1014

It cannot be T-19 medium tank or T-37 light amphibious tank because of the suspension.
We have here for sure the wheel and track tank, perhabs an experimental vehicle and the very first prototype of the BT series.
Its suspension is very similar to T2 Combat Car and could be the copy of the US solution.
But… I don´t know his name :frowning:

#1015

Walter Christie.

#1016

Another hint: It was a swimming tank.

#1017

Hm, I have no ideas.

So let´s try the conventional way:

Is it european?

#1018

Hi, tom!.

I have already told you even more :slight_smile:

It’s soviet light, swimming tank…

…made in Factory No 185.

Regards,
Damazy

#1019

Right, but it helps us not at all. :neutral:
I can find nothing about such vehicle in net. :shock:

#1020

I can not find a picture but found this reference to a vehicle that may fit the description

In 1934, OKMO designed the T-43-2, a design for an amphibious tank with convertible drive—being able to run on tracks or wheels—as a possible replacement for the T-37 amphibious scout tank. It, and Moscow Factory no. 37’s competing T-43-1 were both rejected in favour of continuing T-37 production.
