    Who were the british tank aces? There must have been some good, experienced crews with high scores.

    Probably, but unfortunately the British army didn`t approve of the cult of tank "aces" :(
    So if there were any high scoring tank crews their "kills" were not publicised.
    Not the "done thing" old boy :rolleyes:

    That's very true.
    Publicity concerning individuals in the Forces was officially 'frowned upon'; the RAF made rare ( and officially sanctioned ) exceptions for figures such as Bader, Cunningham and Gibson.

    The British are as brave as the Germans but we are far better warriors. Rome couldn't conquest us! :rolleyes: [​IMG]

    Maybe that's why there were not British tank aces. [​IMG]
