Season 2, Rubicon, AMC.
Season 3, Counterpart, Starz.
Star Trek universe as a whole, make reference to CV-6 Enterprise - pic required in Picards ready-room.
What would be smart is take a Merkava approach. Truncate the infantry compartment-stretch the vehicle to accomodate the turret, use the remaining infantry compartment left for more ammo capacity. I think such a vehicle might want wider tracks and a more powerful engine to maintain good mobility.
That's more of a direct fire assault gun, at least how it was used, was thinking more of something that could do direct fire, but was open top and doing Indirect like a Priest.
Basically an American home grown 17 pdr.
Gavin - very nice. That would be a vehicle I'd wager would still be around today. Have noticed various recent sci-fi and superhero(?) movies using the Abbot itself in recent years trying to pass as US equipment. Can't think of titles though.
Help me out here - I've read that the 76mm on the Shermans was resisted at first (Abrams himself) because it had less HE explosive power than the regular MV 75mm standard on Shermans. So is the 76mm gun and ammo different on the Shermans than either for the 3 inch on the M10's?
My big what-if...
Chieftain had another vid that takes on directly about Sherman verses other best weapons
Good one for TD's also which he wrote a book on
As part of the general discussion here I am curious how many folks here are familiar with this:
The United States versus German Equipment
This is generated...
Not 1/3rd Tigers - only about 1350 Tiger I and 490 Tiger II built. Between Zaloga and Chieftain the number of U.S. encounters with the Tiger I in NW Europe can be counted on less than 1 hand. Understand that MkIV with Scheurtzen skirts were many times mistaken for Tigers. From reading Zaloga...
I think it was Chieftain in his vid on Tank Destroyers that said lack of power traverse was about TD's were supposed to be as cheap as possible, so lack of power traverse was a cost consideration.
