I've played a scenario with it.Here's one you don't often see.
It's a M4 prime mover built on the chassis of the M4 tank but almost all of the other parts i.e. engine, transmission, ect are more powerful.I'm impressed
Here you go:
Silly boy, yes we do, it's in PiF!Here's one you don't often see.
It is based on the M10A1 TD, a M35 Prime Mover.I'm impressed
Here you go:
That would be the M-35 prime mover, which uses the chassis of the M-10 tank destroyer.I'm impressed
Here you go:
nope.It's a M4 prime mover built on the chassis of the M4 tank but almost all of the other parts i.e. engine, transmission, ect are more powerful.
I think that many years ago there was a 'Monster Truck" that was built using the chassis of one of these and almost everyone thought it was a M4 Tank converted into the Monster fully Tracked "truck'(?)
I think this was it but not sure
correct -That would be the M-35 prime mover, which uses the chassis of the M-10 tank destroyer.
it used to be- they were not purpose built to be artillery tractors. It is a post-war mod.Well I know it was a Prime Mover and not a tank
It's an armored Willys Super Jeep.
Any takers yet on this guy?

actually, no. There was a clue in the history of the EE-9 development. Both of these are from the same design specifications. This is a T-27 Scout Car- the final design to be accepted by the War Department was the T-22 design in competition with this one - which evolved into the M-8 Greyhound Armored Car - and then into the EE-9 post-war.It's an armored Willys Super Jeep.
I can't find a 'M' or 'T' number designation. I'm basing this on it's size, the shape of the wheel hubs, the front axle leaf springs, the small engine compartment, and the rear 'bumpers' are a dead giveaway.
I have a photo of an unarmored, 3 axle Super Jeep with a rear bed mounted 37mm AT gun, and that vehicle has a similar wheelbase to this one.
I might be inclined to make this a 4* front AF and a 1* side/ rear AF - given that the only real armor onboard is the M3 chassis / hull. The top plate is more likely equivalent to the 0 AF of a regular Us M3/M5 halftrack.
And it has got to have one of the best names ever given a piece of equipment.OK, found it: see http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww1/germany/a7v-schutzengrabenbagger-lmg-trench-digger/.
Apparently only 1 built and it's German not Soviet as I originally guessed.
