    Right, and yours is really easy right? :D
    Now I could go and count the links on one of my brother's models, but he doesn't have an Ausf.D and furthermore I don't feel like it. So uhm, anybody else? :D

    The "L value" is simply the lenght of the gun measured in calibres. The answer is 5.4 btw.

    And now perhaps the most stupid fact so far :

    Which WWII tracked AFV had a turret which could be equipped with wheels ?

    I was thinking about the first one, but of course; there were two of them, so you would have been right anyway. I can´t fool you me262. :)

    Your turn.

    Damn, he beat me to it. The tank's nickname was 'Grasshopper' by the way. Ha! :D
