Most Useless AFV Of All Time !

What is the most useless AFV of all time ?

Everybody get your suggestions in.


Here's mine -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M247_Sergeant_York

The list of faults with this turkey is hilarious - I particularly liked the bit about it tracking its own gun barrel tips !

 

So the Sergeant York is to A.A tanks what Wikipedia is to encyclopedias!

The Bob Semple tanks gets my vote.
But haven't we been here before?

 

Maus.

Was never going to work in 1944, it was never what Germany wanted or needed and would not have worked for the Allies either.

In fact I can't see any time or place it could work or more importantly was needed

FNG

 

These are all masterpieces compared to the illustrious Bob Semple...

 

Want to start a fan club? (or antifan club).

 

Maybe the Maus B.

 

We could get T-shirts!

It would certainly make meeting up with other forum members easier...

 

LOL :lol: Great thinking Ricky. Too bad were spread all around the world.

 

Bob Semple Tee Shirts sound like a great idea. We could get the great man himself to design them.
Then they could be large, square, impractical, uncomfortable, cold, shed-like, corrogated...........Then again, maybe just a photo of a Bob Semple on an ordinary Tee-shirt. Now that I would pay good money for!

 

Is it true that a Bob Semple once destroyed a whole column of Japanese tanks ?

:x

 

I fail to see how a Bob semple could destroy a column, much less a column of tanks, albeit Japanese.
You might get a Bob semple to destroy 1 Japanese light tank. But the problem would be how to drop the Bob semple on top of it from a height great enough to inflict terminal damage!

 

Bob Semple tank antifan club T-shirts? What an idea! You should probably put a picture of the tank on the shirt with an X through it and write Down With The Bob Semple Tank at the bottom.

 

No, a fan club! I love the idea, we could all just walk around proudly with T-shirts saying,

"The Bob Semple - will have trouble fighting a battle against three old men with spoons"

"Well, there are three of them, do they have to be metal spoons?"

(As was posted earlier on this very forum - I can't stop laughing! )

 

Well, a tank named in honour of a man who was jailed for refusing conscription if just plain funny.

 

Here's one that was used by a crack Home Guard unit based in Walmington-On-Sea, Southern England which would have made Hitler think again -

 

Oh, an actual fan club! Then Roel's idea's good.

 

Do the German cardboard tanks with a guy on a bicycle inside count?

 

Walmington on sea tank.

Cardboard bike mounted tank.

3 men armed with metal spoons.

Only a Bob Semple Armoured Division could hope to combat that combination of awesome firepower!

 

Right you are, David!

 

How about this...
