    I'm not sure what you are getting at

    "Question #5. Does it have a turret? - No."

    "Question #2. Is it a WW2 tank? - Yes.",

    so I don't see how it could be an armoured car under those conditions,
    or a halftrack.

    About armored cars; Gunter refered to them as a possible solution but they have turrets...
    Halftracks & a Panzerjaeger 1 are possibilities, AA flakpanzers are out as you pointed out...
    Yet, you get confused when i ask if it is a halftrack...

    But then, it cannot be a StuG or Jagd* or any kind of panjerjaeger as these were SPGs not tanks... Maybe the quiz should be renamed "20 questions armor quiz" as all of them can be refered as "armor"?

    Question #11:
    No.

    I think you're going to have to go into the definition of "turret" to solve this one.

    Is it the Panzerjaeger 1?



    Technically you have to look into what you consider the definition of a tank, SPG and if an SPG can be a tank.

    I see, you were using a broader definition of "tank" than I was.

    I am not exactly using a definition but I figure this quiz is more about armour in general.

    Question #12:
    Is it the Panzerjäger I?

    No.

    Question #13:
    Is it a tank destroyer?

    No!

    I gave you a big clue with my last post, you may want to look into that...

    Should I count that as a question?

    In any case, I'd say a turret is an enclosed space with some traverse on top of a vehicle. Following this definition the vehicle I have in mind does not have a turret.

    Congratulations, Tom! Indeed, the vehicle I had in mind was the Flakpanzer IV Möbelwagen.
