I have got a tier IV but as I am going with the French (until the British tech tree comes along) I am stuck with a slow, 47mm gun armed Char B1. Not much fun to face those fast and deadly KV with.
Please excuse the off-topicness, it’s a one time thing:
@leccy. Ouch. I went the light tank route as far as the French tanks are concerned, and I remember trudging along in the AMX 40 (the rubber duck of doom as it’s informally known) and loathe the slow speed and acceleration (12km/h on flat terrain). However, I also distinctly remember that the AMX 40, despite being a light tank is a lot more armoured than the Char B1 as well as having a 75mm gun, and, in fact, I once took out two B1s head on and killed them both without taking damage at all! Now I drive an AMX 13/75 and absolutely love the six shot rapid fire preloader as well as the accuracy and stopping power of the gun. I’ve even managed to kill IS3s with it!
In your case, I would brace myself, since the worst is still to come - the next tank you’ll get is the BDR G1B, which, despite a pretty good gun has tissue paper for armour and is outmatched by most of the foes it will meet. I one-shot killed some with my KV and it’s even vulnerable to the 75mm gun of the AMX 40. The ARL 44 which comes next is a tad underpowered when compared to Soviet, German or American tanks from the same tier, but I’ve been told the AMX 50 which comes next is a very good tank indeed.
Lets see how you are with this fine design.

Indeed the French Heavies are a real drain on the patience at times, so slow and underpowered but on the forums people complain they are too strong. My nipper is regularly pitted in his Hetzer (tier III) against Tigers etc (tier VI and tier VII). Talk about rubber bullets, he is considering premium to get the quality AP rounds. I just had some fun bouncing rounds off a KV in my Panzer IIIa (drive round him faster than he can turn his turret shooting away, think I just deafened him before a T28 got me)
the tires,… it is british
Not British but it is related in some way.
Looks like some Israel Super-Sherman. Possibly a test mule? Is that an L7 105mm gun?
That would be an Israeli M50/51 Super Sherman armed with a 60mm Hyper-Velocity Medium Support weapon (HVMS 60) quick-firing gun.
EDIT: oh, and incidentally, the earlier picture was a Marmon-Herrington Armored Car Mk.VIII : http://www.aviarmor.net/tww2/armored_cars/uac/marmon_mk8.htm
So South African, not British.
Correct with the M-H Armoured car.
Correct with the M-H Armoured car.
While you have the armament correct, the designation is incorrect as this particular model was not used by Israel.
The Shield emblem on the Turret looks a bit like the one on my Swiss Army Knife, but that doesn’t look much like Switzerland.
You’re right, it isn’t.
It’s Chilean, apparently - http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/Chile/Chi-SuperSherman.jpg

Heh. It is indeed in Chilean service (something which I knew, since I was familiar with the picture) but all Chilean M50/51 Super Shermans were ex-Iraeli stocks and I thought the country of manufacture mattered more than the country which used them. My bad, I concede defeat, and mr. pdf27 should post the next picture. XD
Fair enough. Hopefully mildly awkward since I’ve just finished work for the day having started at 9am and am in a mood to match…
Yes, and in Chile it was known as the M-60 SuperSherman.
That would be the FV 4005 Stage 2, a Centurion based tank destroyer prototype armed with a massive 183mm gun. It’s displayed at Bovington if I’m not mistaken, but it’s not the actual prototype, which was dismantled in 1957, but simply the turret placed on another Centurion hull.

Yep, you’ve got it. For bonus points can you identify the grey thing in the background?
