Well I'll have a go at what is a weak subject to me. Now if you had shown me some Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers or Cruisers that would be different as my old man was in the Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm) !

1) is a U.S Sherman Tank, with 75mm or 76mm medium velocity general purpose gun and carrying 90 rounds of ammunition.

I think 9) is a German Panzer and 6) is a Polish Vickers.

Is 8) a British Centurion with 105mm rifled gun ?

[Josie]

1. US is incorrect.
Sherman is half correct but there is more!
76mm velocity - correct - 1.5 points

6. Incorrect

8 Correct - 3 points

9 Incorrect

I'm working on it. Be patient!!!!! I've told you how long these things take me to do!!! ;D - And some of us have to work when we're at work!!!! ;)

4) is a German Panther, armed with a Semi-auto 7.5cm Rheinmetall-Borsig KwK 42 carrying 79 rounds of ammo.

Is 2) a German Tiger I ?

[Sir Jock o The Strap]

Is 1 the british variant of the M4 Sherman Medium Tank, called the Sherman Firefly?

Is 9) a Russian T-34 ? ......which outgunned and outmanoevred the Germans on the eastern front. The first variant was armed with a 76mm gun but this was replaced by an 85mm gun in late 1943.

Can't be the Firefly(M-4 A-4), as that had a 76.2mm (17-pounder) gun. I'll plump for the Jumbo.

Is 7) a Cromwell ?

Sir Jock - Correct for 0.5

Tommo - I was being generous with your marking! We are only talking about .2mm - didn't think that mattered between team mates - but maybe size does matter!!!! ;)

Also Tommo - 9 & 7 - both no.

[mickthehammer]

Strange that we are talking about Girth not Length here ::)

;D

Call me tenacious, durable, glutton for punishment, willing to hold myself up for ridicule: tommo never knows when he's beaten. ::)

I'll go :
2) German Panzer Series III with 37mm gun;
7) (rather smaller) German Panzer Series II with 20mm gun; and -
10) (rather larger) German Panzer Series IV with 75mm gun. Also
4) American Pershing Tank but not sure if it's the medium 76mm or the larger 90mm armament.

[Josie]

2) Incorrect
7) Correct with German - the rest is wrong. 1 pt
10) Correct with German - the rest is wrong. 1 pt
4) Incorrect

No 1 I will correct myself on, it's the British Medium M4 Sherman Firefly, 76.2 mm Gun, MG 7.62 mm.

No 2 is the Japanese Type97 Chi-Ha Kai (ShinHoTo-ChiHa), armed with Type1 47mm Gun x1, Type97 7.7mm MG x2

Is no 3 the Canadian Cruiser Tank Mk.I Ram, 40 mm Gun.

I think that no 4 is the Soviet Unions SU-100. 100 mm Antitank gun.

No 5 is maybe the Australian Sentinel, armed with one 40mm 2 pounder anti-tank gun, two Vickers machine guns, one anti aircraft Bren LMG, one Thompson SMG, believe it or not!

No 6 is the Czech Lahky tank Adamov AH 43, with 47mm Gun, 2 x MG 7.92 mm.

i think no 7 is Panzerkampfwagen 38(t), German, 37 mm Gun, 2 x MG 7.92 mm.

No 8 is the British Centurion our main battle tank, 105 mm Gun, 2 x MG 7.62 mm, MG 12.7 mm.

Is no 9 another Sherman, this time the medium M4 105, USA, 105mm gun + MG.

If not then is it the Swedish Landsverk 10 (Strv m/31), 37 mm Gun, 2 x MG 6.5 mm.

Can't get no 10 at all me is afraid, will keep at it though.
