Name that tank!

You nailed it Kevin.

It is one of the early ones with the copula from the Pz3 I believe. Several of the Pz3 were captured at Stalingrad. It is the Command post version SU-76i.


@ Galliman123,
The gun may be the same used by the T-34 but I'm not sure. What I could find out about the tank said it used the ZiS-5 76.2 mm gun. I think the T-34's used the F-34 76.2 mm after 1941 and before that the L-11 76.2 mm.

Over to you Kevin

 

Gun was 76.2 mm Tank Gun S-1, modified version of F-34, made for SPGs.
Soviets made 181 Su-76i and 20 Su-76i command version, giving it total of 201 vehicle.

 

OK,

Now try this one out as well.....

 

That too looks like SU 76i. Soviet made welded turret.

 

It seems to be missing the cupola.
The one posted earlier was an altered version of the SU-76i.

 

Only the command version of the SU-76i had the cupola. As stated in a previous post, there were only 20 of those produced.

 

This version was a Russian crew conversion without the cupola. The factory placed a plate over the fighting compartment, then placed a hinged hatch where the crew could close it during artillery attacks, or rain.

 

I read that some of the crews weren't to happy that they had only one small hatch to exit from and some removed the top plate entirely.

The conversion of the Pz3 and StuG3's (SU-76i) was discontinued after the Soviet made "SU-76", which had overcome it's earlier problems, was deemed to be cheaper to build and service.

Guess I'll have to dig up another pic.

 

Only bad part about the SU-76 was the open top, non-armored rear and low armor on the sides of the crew compartment. The motor, suspension and weapon were real good. That is why it was named "Suka" (B*tch!) by the crews.

 

Changing gears a bit here. Name this one.

 

US M2 Scout Car.

 

Sorry Kevin, that is not correct. keep trying.

By the way, I have never heard of a "US M2 Scout Car".

I do know about the M3 Scout Car (White Scout Car)

M3 Scout Car: Facts, Discussion Forum, and Encyclopedia Article

Also heard of the M2 Half Track Car.

M2 Half Track Car: Facts, Discussion Forum, and Encyclopedia Article

 

Pre-war AFVs in the Mechanized Cavalry units.

 

M1 Combat Car.

I knew it was US. But had three other things going and the wife talking to me as well.

 

You got it.

Used by the US Cavalry: M1 Combat Car was the name given to the first 58 of these vehicles produced. They featured a D-shaped turret. [SIZE=-2][SIZE=-1]Armed with a .50cal MG and 2 .30cal MGs[/SIZE][/SIZE]. The 1920 National Defense Act stipulated that light tanks be assigned to the Infantry, so the name Combat Car was used instead.

The next variation built was the M1A1 Combat Car which had an octagonal shaped turret and a lengthened suspension system.

The Combat Car designation was dropped after the creation of the Armored Force in July of 1940 and by Aug of that same year was renamed M1A2 light tank.

Over to you Kevin.

 

I will try tomorrow.

My I-net provider is acting up when I try ot upload pictures.

 

I tried three seperate times. The WW2 forums server continues to time out when I uplaod my 114kb picture.

I will let someone else take over the picture posting.

 

Ok,

Try this one out for a change.

 

This is a good one LOL! I looked through some Books???. Can't see a clear picture But, very distinctive looking light tank, Some where in the Pacific by the Vegetation.
Well I could be wrong

 

Looks like the Japanese "Type2 Ka-Mi", their first amphibious tank which was based on the light tank: "Type95 Ha-Go".
