Table of contents
This new gun was one of the most powerful anti-tank guns of the war and gave the Sherman Firefly some serious stopping power. In theory, the rounds used by the Firefly could penetrate the hull armour of any German tank it came across. Like the Sherman, the Sherman Firefly wasn't without its problems though. Firing the high-velocity gun would not only be fairly jarring for the crew but also led to shockwaves that would kick up dust and dirt - making it hard for the gunner to see where the round fell to adjust for the next shot.
Around 2, Sherman Firefly tanks were produced and contributed some serious firepower to the Allied war effort. The Churchill Crocodile was a variant of the standard Churchill infantry tank that was converted to carry a flamethrower and pull an armoured fuel trailer behind it.
World war 1 action figures
It could fire flames up to metres and was extremely effective at clearing out enemy bunkers and fortifications. The Crocodile also still had use of its main 75mm cannon, making it an excellent multi-role tank, but it was also seen as a powerful psychological weapon for fighting the enemy. It was based on the chassis of the American Sherman tank but had its turret removed and replaced with a tall armoured plating. It was designed to be capable of running in up to nine feet of water and to have the power to push, pull and recover other vehicles that had broken down on the D-Day invasion beaches.
The tank proved so popular that similar designs based on Centurion tanks and Leopards would appear after the war ended. The Pershing was fast and powerful with its 90mm main cannon that could match that of German heavy tanks. Based on firepower and mobility, the M26 Pershing was seen as superior to the Tiger I and a formidable fighting machine. Unfortunately, the development of the M26 was delayed due to the famous "tank destroyer doctrine" that saw the US focussing on using tanks for infantry support and using tank destroyers for tank-on-tank combat meaning the need for heavy tanks was not recognised.
The ISU was affectionately known as the "beast killer" and was designed with a heavy assault gun and static cannon. There was no traditional turret on this vehicle, so the entire tank needed to be turned to face the enemy, which made it awkward. It was, however, effective in combat.
The ISU had thick armour which meant it could take direct anti-tank fire and still continue on into battle. The ISU fired heavy shells, the sheer weight of which meant it could only fire a maximum of three rounds a minute. Even if the shell didn't penetrate enemy armour the shockwave of a direct hit would often kill the crew via shrapnel being thrown around the internals of the tank or concussion from the blast. This made the ISU a formidable opponent to even Germany's heaviest tanks.
This gargantuan tank weighed a staggering tonnes and sported a mm cannon that was perfect for smashing through concrete structures.
Alas, before development could be finished the Allies had already broken through the German heavy defences. The production was then turned to focus on putting the T to use on the Japanese mainland, but the war ended before they were needed. The T was abandoned after the war due to being too slow, too heavy and obsolete compared to the technology of the time.
There's no denying it was an impressive beast though. Object was an experimental heavy tank designed by the Soviet Union at the end of the s. Nonetheless, it was an interesting beast. A tonne special purpose machine designed to fight across heavy terrain that would stop any other tank in its tracks. It was also designed to survive the shockwave of a nuclear explosion and to withstand radiological, biological and chemical attack. A formidable metal beast indeed. The Challenger 2 is often considered one of the most formidable tanks in existence.
It originally entered service in and is such an impressive machine that it is thought it will continue to operate until This is a monster tank that weighs in at just under 63 tonnes, holds a crew of four and is capable of as much as 37 miles per hour. Highlights to this tank include a rifled mm main cannon turret which makes the tank capable of accurately lobbing shells over five miles. During the Iraq war, no Challenge 2 tanks were lost, despite regular enemy contact. There's also a story about one of these tanks that was hit by 14 RPG rockets at close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile and yet still survived with crew uninjured.
This sort of action is a testament to the Challenger 2's awesome status. It is perhaps one of the most well-known tanks in the world and played a big part in various modern battlefields including the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan. Its defensive systems include various Active Protection Systems designed to disrupt both wire and radio guided anti-tank missiles and homing missiles launched at it.
The T Armata is the newest generation of Russian main battle tank. It's a fast and powerful tank that packs some serious punch thanks to a mm main cannon supported by an autoloader that is capable of firing around 12 rounds per minute. It's said to have an effective penetrative range of just under five miles. The main gun is also capable of firing all sorts of ammunition included guided missiles, high-explosive airburst rounds and more.
