[H] Identifiying a tank
« on: 23-04-2012, 17:04:37 »
Hi all,

I just saw this tank in FHSW and would like to know what it is. It's obviously a Matilda II hull but from what tank is the turret (6 pdr gun)? I googled a bit and three suggestions came up:
  • Cromwell
  • Centaur
  • Cavalier
Or do they all share the same turret? Wikipedia calls it the "Matilda Black Prince" with Centaur turret.

Pics from the game:





That's the closest RL pic I could find:



Thanks :)

It's a Matilda II with a 6 pounder. The turret was makeshift production, but I guess FHSW just took it from another tank.

Frankenstank.

Would be terrifying for the Germans to encounter in the desert though.

this prototype was eventually rejected because new models of the valentine could be equipped with the 6PDR

It's based on the A24 "Cavalier" turret.
