M24 Chaffee163 viewsThe Light Tank M24 was an American light tank used during the later part of World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War and, with the French, in the War in Algeria and the First Indochina War.

Su76162 viewsThe SU-76 (Samokhodnaya Ustanovka 76) was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
Crews loved this vehicle for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. Because of this and the steering which was regarded as cumbersome the vehicle was (un)affectionately called suka ("bitch"), Suchka ("little bitch") by its crews

Sherman161 viewsThe M4 Sherman, formally Medium Tank, M4, was the primary tank used by the United States during World War II. Thousands were also distributed to the Allies, including the British Commonwealth and the Soviet Union, via lend-lease. In the United Kingdom, the M4 was named after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, following the British practice of naming their American-built tanks after famous American Civil War generals. Subsequently, the British name found its way into common use in the U.S.

The Tiger I157 viewsThe suspension used sixteen torsion bars, The wheels had a diameter of 800 mm (31 in) and were overlapped and interleaved, providing unprecedented uniform distribution of the load onto the track, at the cost of increased maintenance. Removing an inner wheel that had lost its tire (a common occurrence) therefore required the removal of up to nine outer wheels.
