Generally agreed to be useless Although issued to forces in WW2 never actually saw action Bet you thought it was Australian ! 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage, 3 Inch Gun Motor Carriage, 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage, 155 mm Gun Motor Carriage, Strangely for it's reputation it was a "medium" tank. Prone to engine trouble that was never sorted satisfactorily Underarmoured and undergunned against the German tanks but so many made they just kept moving forward A British 17 pounder gun replaced the base model 70mm and made this tank a match for the Germans Ideally suited to Russian conditions, wide tracks, well armoured. Possibly the best tank of the war. Designed initially as an assault tank it was used as a mobile fortress on the Russian front to stem the Russian hordes !! As the Panther, plagued by mechanical breakdowns but an iconic machine
