Old Tank Hulls Upgunned And Thrown Back Into Combat

[dy031101]

Some upgunned WWII tanks with much-smaller hull-turret age gaps (late-war onto early-war), inspired again by World of Tanks.



Taking the idea of installing a Cavalier turret further, this Matilda now has a QF 75mm AND a co-axial MG unlike the use of Crusader turret in some of the more-expedient what-if ideas......  I hope I can do the same thing when the game introduces the UK tank tech trees......



This one is for Arc3371- T-34M-85.

Originals taken from WW2 Drawings.

Can you build a SU76i?

Can you build a SU76i?

IIRC, they are planning to release an alleged 85mm-gun version as a "premium" (non-upgradable beyond minor enhancement, generates more ingame credits) vehicle under the Soviet tank tech tree.

I thought of messing with the QF 75mm like so (the user clearly wouldn't have been the British themselves), but it most likely won't work- the US 76mm shells are longer than the original 6 pounder shell and even the 77mm HV according to this table, not to mention that recoil consideration was never made.  Dang.  

(Beside, the QF 75mm probably should be sufficient for...... say, the Pacific Theater......)

Could a Male/Female tank from WW-1 get a pair of guns out of an A-10 Warthog and be use as a street sweeper for urban warfare?    Or the FT-17 getting one for the same purpose?

The A-10 gun, as mentioned, would be a tad too large, but for battles in the 1920s and early 1930s one could conceive a rebuilt Female with four Brownings in the sponsons and small turret on the roof, perhaps an adapted FT-17 with the cannon. Replace the old loud large engine with a smaller, more powerful, and quieter one, and add a firewall between it and the passenger compartment.

Oh dear, did I just give myself another idea to build?

Often thought of something similar myself Joe
