Yes the FT-17 was used in WWII in many forms and by many countries. Some how it stayed on to fight with the Germans through 1944. A German FT-17 was even credited with immobilizing a Churchill tank on the beaches of Diep. The FT was designed as an infantry support weapon, and in that purpose it was well designed. This shows in its longgevity as a combat weapon. However it's still a WWI tank.

That's a hard guess on which army. So many shermans were shipped everywhere!
My guess would be either West German or Israeli going by the helmet on the man at the front of the front tank.


No and no.

Hungarian Turan prototype (3 perhaps). The angling of the hull and suspension are dead giveaways

*EDIT*

Not a Turan. It´s the TAS prototype vehicle. Still hungarian though.

Status: offline 		A hypothetical M2a4 equipped US force vs. german Panzers in 1939-40 would be interesting imho. Perhaps something to wargame through a scion of the SP family?

That might not be a bad idea, Rune....the @a$ was embarassingly(as far as the axis is concerned) Good against the japanese....then again let's not quibble I have touched a Type-97 not exactly a stout rig no?

The Germans would have to rely on their Czech Kit to stop it IMHO, if used as a channeling force it may well have even allowe the cruisers to matter....

that is an odd and interesting hypo....

of course so is Fwance v Japan in 1941 without the Fwench headcase happening....

interesting jungle battles in Indochina as it were....

I know, but I get a kick out of these funny little things, and like a lot of obsolete tanks it still got used in WW2. (Unlike the MkIV/V I posted above.)
