Tanks and armor quiz (medium level)

Yes indeed Leccy sir! :slight_smile:

have your turn :smiley:

Try this one then. Correct designation for the country of use if possible just to make it a little harder.

Hehe!
Lehký Tank vzor 35 in Romanian use as “Tancul Ușor Skoda R2”!
You do realise I am am Romanian and I can recognise that tank instantly, right?

Lol the tank I assumed would be easyish, the uniforms possibly more difficult. The benefit of having an international site is people can help provide better information about their country’s own kit.

Correctomundo, your turn.

Also, I could tell you that the second guy from the right is in fact a mountain troop “Plutonier” (Nato OR-7, according to current standards) judging by the green beret he’s wearing. The rest are all tankers, and the guy on the far right is a Sergeant, while the driver is most likely a “Maistru militar cl.I” (Nato OR-9, also corresponding to “Plutonier adjutant”).

Also, here is the quiz question for today: What on earth is this?

Ok pretty sure I got it, any other takers.

i had seen this before,. i cannot recall where,. leccy lets put a bullet on this dying horse :cool:

I can confirm that Mr. Leccy has indeed guessed the mystery in a private message he sent me, so from here on he’ll be the one to decide wherever he wants someone else to have a go at it or replace it with an enigma of his own.

I was hoping we could get some more blood answering lol, otherwise I will have to start going through some of my real oddities.

I will leave it for a little while so I can look for some less common vehicles in case no one else gets it. I am sure questions about the vehicle would be permissible, all helps teach recognition points to help identify national characteristics.

I’d answer more often mate, but these are hard! Medium quiz my arse! :smiley:

Yeah, sorry about that, we are running out of suitable mysteries here, but really, this one IS medium difficulty if you know how to go at it.
After all, there are a number of things you know for certain about the picture (Armoured car, six wheels, has a sort of gun in the hull although it’s not clear wherever it is a cannon or MG) and quite a few things you could ask that could help you narrow it down.
Also, there’s no shame in not knowing instantly all the real obscure machines out there and having to make educated guesses instead of guessing outright, after all, we’re here to learn, aren’t we?

I’m not complaining about any in particular, believe me this is fun.

I kind of wish there were more people though…

is this something to do with the dutch?

something like this?

Daf M39 :smiley:

but the one on the posed,. is the prototype :slight_smile:

You got the right vehicle, strangely the exact same photo I posted to wingsofwrath when I got it. Only 12 built and none saw action in Dutch use, all used by the Germans with some making it into France. Forward and reverse driving positions which was not too uncommon for the time period.
Armed with 3 x MG (front hull, rear hull, coax) and a 37mm Bofors.

I guess your go gumalangi

here we go :slight_smile:

Uh… I think its German. I’ll guess one of the Czechoslovakian tanks captured by the Germans maybe made into a command post. Not going to list a model, because if I can get that close it doesn’t really matter to me what it is…

it is germans… and build by them too :smiley:

I’d say a variant of the Panzer IIL, maybe a command or resupply variant.

you’re getting there :slight_smile:
