This was addressed by instituting a WWII stop-gap: the mating of the M26 Pershing turret to the M4 Sherman HVSS hull (Sherman and Pershing turret rings were the same diameter, coincidentally) to make a Super-Sherman tank. In the forum, the story was posted of just such a thing being tested with...

The Low Countries are indeed under Soviet occupation, as are Denmark and, now, Finland. Norway and Sweden have been invaded by Soviet airborne troops, but not completely occupied. There is still significant resistance by the armed forces and irregulars in those...

First, a warm welcome to new posters, like Ravenflight and pharaojared.
Second, Napalm [aka FAE's (Fuel/Air Explosives)] is pretty nasty stuff and an armored or hardened target becomes a death trap at the point that they are used.
