>>65616199We had this thread not that long ago, and I said I like Tornado.
it was a stopgap and looked ugly in appearance but it was a pillar of the line against Rommel
>>65616366>give the crusader a 6-pdr to fight enemy tanks>lose its co-ax and make it near useless against infantrythe british were really, really concerned about tank on tank combat
>>65616701Blue board, anon.
>>65616701the thing about the british is that they viewed anti-tank capability as the number 1 priorityhole punching is the god-state, everything else is irrelevantthe M3 was rushed in despite its obvious flaws and the fact that every M3 they bought would have to be replaced a few months later because its 75mm gun was bigger than their 2pdr, nothing else mattered
>>65616710>the thing about the british is that they viewed anti-tank capability as the number 1 priority>>65616704because they had no other antitank alternative at the time other than antitank guns, and both Germans and British had become quite adept at flanking and destroying those, and killing even self-propelled antitank guns. without a self-propelled antitank capability, only a static defence strategy was possible, no reactive defence, and no offensive whatsoever. this lesson was learned on both sides at the cost of many lives.picrel is the Deacon. it was fairly useful as a British self-propelled antitank gun. it was often quickly disabled due to its lack of armour.for this reason, a thickly-armoured antitank capability was needed (and arguably continues to be needed to this day). >>65616710>the M3 was rushed in despite its obvious flawsand did well despite those flawsit was a stopgap and it worked well.
>>65616998That thing was so ugly before they made a bunch of changes in the latest prototype.
>>65617040The hump always looked the same. It's just the camera angle and low illumination that makes it look extra bad

>>65616704>Lose its co-axAnon, the Crusader still has a co-ax.
