Post tanks!

Little Willie, the first tank, grandaddy of them all.

Vickers Independant.

We were robbed, bros...

:(

It's not fair. It's not fucking fair. That and the Turan III had so much promise. Especially that.

Pictured: something that all soldiers feared and respected, regardless of rank. Something that could make you experience a primal kind of fear. Oh, and there is also a Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. E Tiger I.

Hotchkiss H-39 in Hungarian service, somewhere on the Eastern Front.

M3 Stuart, also in Hungarian service.

One of my favorite oddball tanks of the WWII Era, the Marmon–Herrington CTLS. Started life as an American amphibious export tank, after Pearl Harbor they were pressed into emergency Alaskan service. A good number were sent to China and the Dutch Pacific holdings.

>>63847580
They continued service with the Dutch and various minor nations for years afterwards, with some significant updates giving them marginally respectable light tank firepower.

Well, respectable for a decade earlier maybe.

>>63847590
In their Final Form they mounted a pair of 37mm autocannons, fed from 5-round clips

Do you guys like dags? Here's an M95 Degman, only one prototype was ever made.

>>63847605
Surprised 4chan let you post duplicate pics in this thread?
You can also find some of them rusting away in the former Dutch East Indes

Speaking of odd tanks, the Nahuel was Argentinas attempt at making a tank which turned out wasn't a bad go all things considering. Was just cheaper to buy Shermans after the war though.

>>63847580
CTLS is the American equivalent to those Japanese ultra-light tanks that often get knocked on for poor protection but were the only tanks that could navigate their theaters, along with the M22 Locust.

>>63847803
and like an idiot I forgot my pic.

>>63847803
Frankly I didn't even check to see if they were posted already, considering how I almost never see these things mentioned. Anyways, flamethrower Hetzer

>>63848139
Think this thread should be dedicated to obscure tanks or tanks in obscure service.

>M24 Chaffee turret on an M113
Should this be considered a tank?

I do love how most of South America when trying to upgrade their old armor basically just slapped a 90mm on it. Cockerill must have made a fortune there?

>>63847580
>how many machineguns you want?

>>63848475
Dem be rookie numbers

>>63848509
By raw numbers the M2 might win out, but the gun:crew ratio goes to the CTLS

>>63848532
True though I think the Vickers D might have came close.
Do you think the crew of the CTLS used something like strings and pulleys so they could fire all their guns at once?

These tanks need some fighter cover.

>>63848509
>frank, the specs says every crewman needs to be armed with a machine gun
>even the driver?
> the driver gets two

Was thinking if there was anything more insane when it came to number of guns per crew either designed and proposed and then I remembered, "Oh wait, the French exist!"

>>63850111

And logistics.

What could have been...

>>63850845
To be fair, these tanks might not had been a bad idea to pit against SMG-happy mobsters, if they weren't slower than a brisk jog.

>>63851388
Imagine them in downtown LA?

This thread needs cute tanks.

I love WW1 tanks so much it's unreal
They looked so unique, unlike today's tanks who all look the same
In general I love prototype weapons, no matter the time period. it's always fascinating to see what people were coming up with when they had to make things that were never made before

>>63859120
Its the fact that they were landships yet everything wasn't compartmentalized that made them so unique.
Felt like if they got them any larger they'd have their own cooking facilities.

>>63844823 (OP)
120mm PRAM Mortar, a Czech weapon designed to provide mechanized support for infantry. Can be used in direct fire or as a self propelled mortar.

I like to think of it as a modern day Sturmgeschutz, tho...

>>63860116
STUG LIFE!

>>63861856
Is the Panzer III the cutest tank the Germans produced in WW2?

>>63846997
>turan
some kind of turkish tank or what?!

>>63863444
Hungarian.

I love this little bugger, the real life metal slug.

>>63866647
Probably one of the more underrated vehicles of the war. Fact they tried to put a full length 75mm on her was hilarious.

Anyone have good pictures of upgraded Israeli Shermans? Love those.

>>63844823 (OP)
>Yo, what type of suspension do you want?
>Just fuck my shit up

>>63871604
It couldn't be simpler.

>>63871607
Tbf though, the suspension let it reach the blindingly fast (for a tank in 1921) speed of 18kph (up to 22kph in testing!)

>>63871620
Ignore that pic. It's the later rebuilt model with a completely different, sane suspension system. Picrel is the original.

>>63844823 (OP)
I just think it's neat.

>>63867358
Define which Israeli Shermans you mean as they did a lot with the Sherman chassis.
>>63869339
I know this is American but I can't read the writing in the bottom right. What is that?
>>63871448
I really wonder what they could have done with the Starship with modern tech?
>>63871620
>>63871624
>Fucking Chode Tank
>>63871695
MUAAAAGH THE FRENCH!

>>63847803
Different filesizes and filenames.

>>63848572
If a thing was at all possible at least one serviceman in WWII did it.

>>63871716
>Ordnance Department - 1/26/40 - 75mm Howitzer - Motor Carriage T3 - Traveling Position

>>63871744
Thanks anon.
>>63871758
That's a big missile!

>>63847803
>4chan let you post duplicate pics in this thread?
as long as they differ even by 1 pixel they count as different pictures

>>63867358
Got U senpai

mon amour

Approved by pic rel

>>63866473
I wonder how well it would have worked if it had a 105mm gun instead?

>>63871758
>>63873934
Loos like something out of an RTS game

>>63873995
Those things didn't have enough range to hit the commies, and it was completely intentional
French nuclear doctrine for the land forces during the Cold War was basically "if the Soviets get too close to the Rhine, nuke West Germany"

>>63844823 (OP)

>>63873952
Would have just been the M60A1?

>>63873165
