DieHard's tank is a Japanese Flame Thrower tank built in 1939

Glock's tank is the Czech LT-35 (Germans called it Pz 35T)

10 1/2 tons

DieHard's tank is a Japanese Flame Thrower tank built in 1939

Yes, but do you know what vehicle the FT Tank is based on?

[Willfly]

On my two recent visits to the Aberdeen Tank Musuem (I'm quite sure that picture is taken from there) I do not remember seeing the LT35 there... nice find though

[Blooz]

Yes, but do you know what vehicle the FT Tank is based on?

I don't really know what you mean but the hull resembles the Japanese Type 89 tank and the running gear resembles the leaf springed bogie arrangement used on the Vickers 6Ton tank (also seen on Soviet T26 and Italian M13/40 tanks) Having the drive sprocket at the rear is inovative too.

The vehicle is very different from the more common Japanese tanks but then, it had to be. It's a specialist engineering vehicle designed to do a specific job no different than what other countries came up with to deal with certain battlefield problems.

You have a keen insight sir, but the correct answer is: It's a Soukou Sagyou Ki "SS-Ki" Armored Engineering Vehicle. Used for many different tasks during the war, including as a flame thrower tank. Production began in 1935.

It was a bit difficult that one, the next one is less 'obscure', but still not 'easy'.

E-25

[Blooz]

US M-56 90mm SP AT gun (Scorpion)

1953

weighs 7,000 kg


-----------------------------------------
As for the German E-25...It's a fantasy...never built...lets stick to tanks that actually made it into production not pipe dreams ok?

-----------------------------------------
As for the Japanese Flame Thrower tank...It's based on the Type 89. It's proper name was Soukou Sagyou Ki "SS-Ki" Armored Engineering Vehicle. So to say that the vehicle was based on the Soukou Sagyou Ki "SS-Ki" Armored Engineering Vehicle is incorrect. That is actually the vehicle. It's based on the 89.


Next....

This is going 2 be a good one if your looking for a hint i don't have 1.

There have been several prototypes and vehicles that never made it to production already posted in this thread. You didn't seem to have any problems with them. The Entwicklungsfahrzeug series was a serious late-war tank development program that spawned several prototypes. The E-25 I posted was the second project vehicle, designed by Argus in Karlsruhe under the leadership of Dr. Hermann Klaue. Three prototypes were made.I guess my short answer is: No.

As for the Japanese Flame Thrower tank...It's based on the Type 89. It's proper name was Soukou Sagyou Ki "SS-Ki" Armored Engineering Vehicle. So to say that the vehicle was based on the Soukou Sagyou Ki "SS-Ki" Armored Engineering Vehicle is incorrect. That is actually the vehicle. It's based on the 89.

The FT tank version was based on the SS-Ki CEV, which in turn was a development of the Type 89B. You didn't get the correct name of the vehicle. In fact you didn't specify any vehicle name or designation at all in your original answer. Live with it.
