Crazy

Archer was really seen as a stopgap. To quickly mount a 17pdr on an available and reliable chassis. One thing it did do was prevent Royal artillery gunners suddenly thinking they were tank crews.

Achilles was a much better design for us, but the RTR often got it into their heads to behave like tanks, not mobile AT guns...
