    Gotta be something like the Hummel or Nashorn - carried an 88mm gun, but had an open top/rear.

    The Nashorn had that, but it appeared earlier than the Ferdinand so it wouldn't have gotten that name - rather, the Ferdinand would have been dubbed "closed-ass Nashorn". :lol:

    But it's as close as I can get with Axis vehicles...

    Ricky is a step in the right direction, but it´s not an Axis AFV.

    Well, not British (or would be 'arse', not 'ass') so the Archer is ruled out.

    It wasn't the SU-85 was it? I know they were sometimes confused at a distance...

    But that one didn't have an open rear. Maybe it's an SU76.

    You win Roel ! :)

    "Golozhopil Ferdinant". Its profile resembled the Ferdinand, hence the Ferdinand. Its armour thickness did not resemble the Ferdinand, hence the "naked ass" bit.

    Yes I think Centipede was one of the earlier names for the first Mk1 'Mother'

    Notmi and Ebar, you´re both right. :)

    His Majesty´s Landship Centipede, a name which reflects the naval background of early tank development, was also known as "Mother" and served as a prototype for the Mk.I series.

    Oh, don't worry about that. It's the only way to solve these quizzes, I don't think anyone doesn't use Google.

    Interwar British going by the suspension is the best I can do.

    Interwar, yes. British, no. Allthough I seem to remember reading somewhere that the suspension of this tank was known as the "British type" in its homeland. It was the first tank to be produced by this country btw.

    :D
