T14 Assault Tank


With the inadequacies of the A22 Churchill exposed at the Dieppe raid in August 1942, efforts were made to find solutions. The American T14 assault tank was a 41-ton tank armed with a M3 75mm gun and protected by up to 102mm of armour. The T14, utilising a lot of the M4's components but ultimately did not see production was sometimes described as a 'Super Sherman'.

Now that is what I call an RV (recreational vehicle)!

You know, you can buy self-propelled guns, APCs, etc in the UK and drive them?

I once rode on someone's Ferret Armoured Car. And he filled it up at the petrol station as it had a petrol engine!
