Re: WWI Tanks in WWII
Well, I suppose they did pretty well against partisans who had limited anti-tank material...
Of course, a short range 7.62 might do the trick...
Cheers...

LOL That may be true. And I bet that some of the tankers were glad to have even a FT17 for protection. I wonder what the loss rate for those used against the Partisans were?

Re: WWI Tanks in WWII
I would be interested in finding out what weapons it was carrying. I would assume that it wouldn't be carrying the original British guns.

Re: WWI Tanks in WWII
I'm sure for some of the bigger countries the economic difficulties after WWI made modernizing on a full scale difficult. As for some of the smaller countries, I'm sure these WWI tanks were modernizing.
