The ugliest tank in WW II

But you were mostly right

But how is it the ugliest tank in WW2? :lol: I forgot all about the topic title!

 

In the category "odd" wehicles; an Italian MC.

what is this

 

Hello.
a French Lorraine 1938 L(Voiture Blindées de Chasseur Portés) ,supplying tractor used later by the German.
Patrice

 

You know your obscure vehicles well! I would have guessed something Italian, maybe a flamethrower construction of some kind. Why would they fully track a supply vehicle?

 

Hello Roel.
The picture posted by me262 shows a supply version.
It is not the final model,the last model was to be without trailer and
met the need to transport under shielding the infantry of accompaniment.
it will have resembled the M113 a little,a little the ancestor of the Fighting vehicles of infantry.

i think patrice and i have the same source of info :smok:

 

try this one:

 

To easy.
A oil barril carrier,no, I joke it is a 1919 Mark IX Amphibious Tanks.
Patrice. :smok:

 

So that's how you guess all those, Patrice! You've found me262's secret website source of obscure vehicles thingy!

 

Can be Roel ,but in this case the answer was in an old Profile of the Seventies.
Patrice.

 

Nice work, anyway. I don't believe I've guessed a single one of the literal dozens of pictures me262 has posted over about half a year now.

 

well, you meet your match , I , and I meet mine, patrice, cheers!!!!!!!
btw the nickname of the mark IX was the duck, :-?

 

and the land version the pig!!!!

 

If you're going to name your tanks after animals, at least let them be ferocious killers or something, like Panther or Puma. Not duck and pig! It's horrible!

 

If you ever come across a wild boar then you will understand why calling something a pig isn't too bad.

Now for wild boar hunting you do need a big gun and someone who knows how to use it.

 

hey, is not up to me to name those tanks, that is included in the info i got from my source :smok: so please do not blame me

 

and if you complain , what about the infamous maus, mouse?
:lol: :lol:

 

They seem to be using metal floatation tanks here. Does anyone know why they opted for fabric screens on the DD shermans of WW2. Was it that to support the much heavier WW2 tanks metal floatation tanks would be have to be too big to be practical?
