One of the best Β looking tanks of WWII era, 17lbr?

No, it had a 75mm Vickers Heavy or a unknown type of 77mm

Yeah, I like the Comet too. It is a 17-pdr. but uses a different 17-pdr. than the one in the Firefly.

I thought so, just too lazy to look it up.

Ah, the Comet An interesting design, that one. Almost a pity they didn't have more of a chance to shine during the war.

Quite a tank shame it missed the war almost completely would have made a big difference!

I only first learned of the Comet at TankFest but have since looked them up. I agree that they're quite interesting.

The British struggled, I think, with tank design throughout WWII because of "Infantry" and "Cruiser" (cavalry) tank concepts and were well armoured, but undergunned. I think once they came up with the Centurion, they were away!
