Name that tank!

No Volga, as it is the first prototype of the Russian T-28, I didn't think that woul be too difficult , that was all I was asking for! anyone can have a go now

 

not sure if its been done yet but here is one, By the looks of it I feel sorry for any one going into battle against it... they will die of laughter

 

Haven't seen that pic of it before, horrible contraption, by comparison my avatar is classy (basic idea was similar with even less resources available).

... The idea was discarded after the tanks attracted public ridicule

 

Actually this tank was liked by the public for there ability to make something out of nothing... The army discarded this one though due to the bad performance, lack of armor etc..

 

We could start a thread oh Holt/Caterpillar derivatives. I believe Culqualber (my avatar) and it's half brother saw combat as did some of Spannish Civil War ones, but there could be others.

 

Or just a thread on anything that looks like it was made in the garage out behind the house =)

 

Found it's big sister: Bulldozer Rampage - YouTube

 

LOL a lot of them looked like that because that's exactly how they were made!

 

It's a picture of the 'Bob Semple' tank built in New Zealand

 

Correct, Have a go mate. your turn...

 

I know its not the right place to ask , but what was the armament on the "Bob Semple" tank

 

6 Bren machine guns.. Should have been enough against a King Tiger? =)

 

Oh boy

 

Where's the first photo of 2013?

Stop slacking : )

 

Are there special rules to this thread or can anyone play? I have a photo of a tank I'd love some information on - I beg forgiveness from the get-go, because tanks are not my area of expertise, so I will botch the terminology.

We got together with a man who served with my dad, and he had two photo albums. I copied most of his photos, and this photo is one of them. Mr. Ament couldn't remember where it was, so I'd be interested if anyone has any thoughts on location. And the tank says "Satan," so I wonder if it is a Satan flamethrower.....

(The photo I posted was fairly large, but it doesn't appear to be large when you click on it, if you have trouble seeing it, someone please let me know and I'll try something else.)

Anyone can play Clem, but perhaps you gave a little too much away. Still it will take the average member a little looking up to find the correct name for this variant.

BTW, good to see you out and about.

 

Whoops.....I didn't even think of that, and having confessed my ignorance, I didn't want to appear to be a complete dolt.

And thanks, it's good to be out and about.

 

What about this one ?

Looks like a Sherman ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle) to me, wonder what it's doing in the midst a medical unit that doesn't seem to have anything that requires that big a tractor.

 

Nope !
