Interesting threads by a WT user to try and calculate realistic shell performance:

There's a couple more, too. Any truth behind all this effort, @Bronezhilet?
A de Marre estimation shows that the performance is almost the same:That de Marre calculator looks awfully familiar

@Jeeps_Guns_Tanks any idea how the D200A differed from the RD1820? Was any change made at all when the engine was standardized?

What's so special about the unedited version? Are you sure it wasn't just cropped to look better for the newspapers?

Haha, "chatty notes". Commonwealth English is so delightfully different from American English.

It's interesting how the Australians have so many Ram docs, I guess they consulted Canada on their modernization of the Medium Tank M3 modernization, but decided to go their separate way with the Sentinel.

Here are some Ram diagrams that aren't shit. Click for big.

Here's an even harder angle. Any way to tell from here?

Exactly what I was thinking of, thanks!
Another question, is this an M4 or an M4A2? Is it possible to tell from this angle?

I recall reading a blurb about how the US Army disliked the name "Sherman" and preferred the soldiers to call it by its proper name, but begrudgingly agreed to let press releases targets at civilians to call it "Sherman" instead of Medium Tank M4. Does anyone know the source, by any chance?

Red/dark blue: prospective
Brown/gray blue: modernization
Yellow/light blue: production
The orange bit isn't in the legend, I'm guessing it's a modernization that has already been applied?

Huh, I've never heard of that one before. Yeah, that seems to be a downer.

This photo shows one weakness of the Firefly really well. The gun had to be turned back during travel, so the radio bustle was right above the driver's hatch. If the tank went over a bump while he was driving with his seat up, he was liable to smash his head into the turret.

Apparently a lot of the tanks stuck out in former Arab-Israeli war battlefields can't be recovered since there are still quite a few mines lying around.

Apparently the real reason was that Yud is the smallest letter in the alphabet, according to the creator.

That clears it up, thanks.

More Sherman questions. By American measure, the Sherman turret ring is 69 inches across, but by Soviet measure, it's 1730 mm, which is slightly less. Was the American figure rounded, or were they measuring from the outside of the turret race? The Soviets only measured the diameter of the clear space.

When was the 2" bomb thrower eliminated? I thought the British were super into those things and wanted them in everything.
