Description
《Lil Eight》An Amphibious Tank of the Pałasz Battalion. It is the most Iconic Lil Tank of thier Battalions. Almost every Military Personal has seen or heard of the Lil Eight.
The name "Eight" comes from Turret's Octagon Shape (As Octagons have 8 sides) and "Lil" due to it being a Light Tank.
《Crew》
Lil Eight had a Crew of 2:
.1 Driver
.1 Gunner (who also served as the Commander)
《Variants》
《Lil Eight》
Lil Eight may be an Amphibious Tank, but she is the Pałasz Battalion's Iconic Tank and gets the job done. Still being Produced and used alot. Not only is she used for Costal Duties, she is also used on many Land Duites as well.
《Lil 8M》
A Mortar Variant was decided, it had a Open Top (Top half is gone) where a "Ordnance SBML 2-Inch Mortar" atop a Platform in front of the Gunner was place. Extra box of Mortar Ammo underneath and near Seat.
They were mainly used to fire into Ditches (like Trenches) or up into higher Areas.
《Lil 50》
Lil 50 was the more Deadly Variant, She had a Open Top (Top half is gone) like Lil 8M and had a ".50 Cal M2 Browning". She would fire up in into the Sky in a Diagonal Position with its M2 Browing which was atop a Platform in front of Gunner. Not only could the .50 Cal be in the AA Position, it could also move up and down to fire at ground Target's.
《Lil 8F》
A Flamethrower Variant using a "Flamethrower Portable No.2". It was wondered if the Gunner would Use it as an Armament or wears its like normal. In the end it didn't matter as This Variant never went into Production. Tho it was said some Lil 8Ms had Gunners wearing Flamethrower Portable No.2s on thier backs. Basically allowing the Lil 8M to have both a Flamethrower and Mortar Armament.
