M4A3E8 or the Sherman Firefly, hands down.

The finns was really short on tanks and anything they had leftover was considered good enough.

It has cupola and two MGs of Panzer III Ausf. B turret which had 37mm gun.

Also the place is where Germans operated.
Germans only sold 15 PzIV J to Finland.

>>33140364

That's not a IV, it's an early Panzer III, an Ausf D by the look of it. The Ausf B to D's were preproduction prototypes, but I've read they saw service in Poland and possibly Norway.

They experimented with a bunch of leaf-spring suspension setups before settling on torsion bars.
>>
>>33140364
it's a panzer iii ausf. d
>>
>>33140916
You are probably right on both points.

Yet still it is in Finland and if you had a Pz III turret and a Pz IV hull, you might aswell slap it togheter and call it the day. Anything is better than no tank and divisions (especially infantry ones) usually used whatever armor they could get ther hands on

Well done sir.
Sweet lines, wonderfully smooth suspension, and it's powered by not just one, but TWO Cadillac mills.

>>33139507
M18 is a close second, even though I did not like working on them.(Ridiculous engine access. Undo a bajillion bolts and hinge down a plate. Yay, sucks if you don't have an air ratchet.) They were stupid fun to drive though. Like riding a 36000 pound roller coaster car.

>>33141112

From a functionality standpoint? He's not wrong.
The M4A3E8's were , as far as medium tanks in WW2 go, simply amazing in their cohesive balance of armour, gunnery and mechanical reliability.

Very very few tanks in their weight class could match their firepower, and the ones that could were lacking in other categories.

For a ww2 Medium tank , The old M4 is tough to beat. The E8 /76, even harder.

They look like a tank.
I like the "looks" of the M24 better, but the M4 still has it's charm.
