@scarlebloke But the fact is that the position of the main armament and the layout it imposed gave the M3 Medium some serious tactical limitations. During the second half of 1942 8th Army tank regiments were mixed - one squadron of Grants and two of Crusaders was usual, with the Grants taking on the Germans head-on and the Crusaders using their high speed to work around the flanks of the enemy.

@jackzero99 I didn't say the Grant/Lee was a bad tank - in fact the British were very glad to get them and the Grants gave the Germans a nasty shock at Gazala.
-
@scarlebloke Of course they were worse than the Sherman, but before that it was better than the Brit tanks
-
@jackzero99 In 'An Army at Dawn' an American former tank crewman didn't like it at all due to 'like driving a cathedral down the road - everybody could see you.'
-
wow!....you dont see them to often anymore...
-
Is it just me, or is the 37mm gun bent?
-
@Gavin66627 Horrible tanks but better than anything the Brits had at the time to fight the Panzer IV until the Sherman came along
-
@jackzero99 Nope they hated them as the russians did, they gave their positions away everytime! they were horrible tanks.
-
@Gavin66627 The Brits loved them in 1942 because the 75mm cannon was the most powerful in Africa until the Mk IV special came along
-
@jackzero99 I don't think anyone loved them they just had no choice
The top 37mm turret is bent.

Talking to the Owner a few yers ago, he said it was a gift from the Wheatcroft collection, found in a river if memory serves.
Quite appropriate for a project like this.

The 37 that is, not the turret or tank.

Churchill AVRE with Petard Mortar.
Didn't run that day, merely emitted the most ear-splitting backfires.
