    Thanks for the correction Rich I misinterpreted an article i read that said that most TD officers were former artillery officers. It's an excellent article that many who frequent these forums have probably already read, but for those that haven't and are interested in US TD operations here's a link http://www.lonesentry.com/brassingoff/

    Heraldic animals don't always conform to the coloration of their real life inspiration however, for that matter they in many cases don't have a real life inspiration.

    So why weren't the studs used for the extra armor. I have read an account from a m10 crewman that said his vehicle was hit but the shot bounced because his vehicle had been up armored. From what I've read the plates for the studs were never issued. So this might indicate that the m10 was part of the up armoring program going on in February 45 does this seem ridiculous to anyone?

    That article and many more TD related articles can be found at http://tankdestroyer.net/things/articles. There are a few other things there as well if you have a bit of time to kill...
