In 1928, the rear of the tank was modified to strengthen it. [3] At the same time, a new design of brake-block was fitted. [3] The transmission was also heavily reworked. [5] The tank was the subject of industrial and political espionage, the plans ending up in the Soviet Union, where they may have influenced the design of the T-28 and T-35 tanks.
The VK 45.02 (P) was the official designation for an unsuccessful heavy tank project designed by Ferdinand Porsche in Nazi Germany during World War II to compete with Henschel's design. [1] Development of this vehicle started in April 1942, with two design variants (Ausf. A and Ausf. B) incorporating different features.
Design specifications for the VK 70.01 project changed throughout its developmental history. Primary armament would’ve been either a 105, 128, or 150 mm gun, while armour ranged from 100–120 mm (3.9–4.7 in) frontally and 80–100 mm (3.1–3.9 in) on the sides.
Fpl 35-5 was the first aircraft built to Saab 35A-series specifications. It featured an original Rolls-Royce Avon Mk.48A (RM6BE) engine and had the same afterburner and tail as the J 35A1 (Adam short) variant. Later it was modified to Saab 35D standard and acted as the Saab 35H demonstrator during the Swiss trials. [22] Fpl 35-6
' development '), more commonly known as the E-Series, was a late-World War II attempt by Nazi Germany to produce a standardised series of tank designs. There were to be standard designs in five different weight classes (E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75 and E-100) from which several specialised variants were to be developed.
This tank’s design was obviously a natural progression of the P40. The tank only reached the wooden mock-up stage. However, the proposed armaments for the tank did exist in sufficient numbers. Two cannons were looked for the tank as its main armament. The first was the 90/53 mod.41 cannon already found on the M41M.
The Tortoise heavy assault tank (A39) was a British heavy assault gun tank design developed during the Second World War, but never put into mass production. It was developed for the task of clearing heavily fortified areas such as the Siegfried Line and as a result favoured armour protection over mobility.
The Sherman Firefly was a medium tank used by the United Kingdom and some armoured formations of other Allies in the Second World War.It was based on the US M4 Sherman but was fitted with the more powerful British 76.2 mm (3.00 in) calibre 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon.
